US EditionFox Scores 24 Points in Season Debut, Wembanyama Has 18 Points, 18 Rebounds as Spurs Top Pelicans
Fox led the Spurs with 24 points in his first game back, helping San Antonio extend their winning streak to two after a 5-0 start, despite Pelicans missing key players.
- On Saturday night, San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox scored 24 points in his season debut as the Spurs beat the New Orleans Pelicans 126-100.
- Fox then sustained a right hamstring injury during the offseason while preparing for his first full season with the Spurs.
- Key plays included a stepback 3, 2:21 into the second quarter, a 24-foot shot, and a 10-foot floater with 29 seconds remaining sealed the victory.
- The result gives the San Antonio Spurs their second straight win after two losses following a franchise-best 5-0 start, with eight players in double figures while the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans saw Trey Murphy III score 41 points.
- The outing also highlighted early chemistry as Fox and Victor Wembanyama have played together only six games, and it was Fox's first start alongside Stephon Castle, San Antonio guard, during the rebuild.
