What's next for Spurs? Path to building a champion could include trading De'Aaron Fox
- On Thursday, San Antonio Spurs fans launched three separate GoFundMe campaigns to buy out guard De'Aaron Fox's $229 million contract following his late-game layup attempt in Wednesday's Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks.
- The Spurs surrendered a 29-point second-half lead during Wednesday's collapse, which culminated when Fox attempted a breakaway layup instead of drawing a foul that would have forced the Knicks to foul.
- Dismissing the online criticism on Friday, San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson stated, "Fox will have the basketball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow," expressing confidence in his starting guard.
- Facing elimination tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET, the team remains focused on Game 5, with Fox telling reporters Friday they are trying to "learn from the mistakes that we made."
- Another fundraiser initiated on Friday seeks to purchase a one-way ticket to Shanghai for the guard, referencing a long-standing NBA joke about players finishing careers in the Chinese Basketball Association.
