Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Team-high 24 points in season debut
Rotowire
Fox (hamstring) produced 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pelicans.
Fox played his first game of the season after missing the first eight contests due to a right hamstring strain. San Antonio was cautious in not rushing him back before he had made a full recovery from the injury, so he was able to return to action Saturday without a minutes restriction. Despite missing on both of his field-goal attempts in the first quarter, Fox eventually settled in and finished as the Spurs' leading scorer on the night.

Although the star guard won't suit up Friday, he's in line to play in the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back Saturday. Fox has been recovering from a strained hamstring since training camp, so it's possible he'll have a minutes restriction against New Orleans. His return is likely to push Julian Champagnie from the starting lineup.
