Spurs excited about De’Aaron Fox
At the request of Mitch Johnson, Victor Vembanyama will not be the only representative of the Spurs at the All-Star game. The NBA announced that it accepted the candidacy De’Aaron Foxreplacing the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo.
When the news broke, the leader, whose team was returning from a double trip to California (Lakers and Warriors), was returning home. ” It was funny because he sent the photo, he was about 20 minutes from home (in Houston) and he had to turn around », Stephon Castle reports.
So head back to California for your teammate, who is about to make his second career All-Star game in Los Angeles after his previous call-up with the Kings in 2023.
« It was cool though. I’m happy for him. I said to him the other day, “I hope you end up being selected as a replacement. You should have been there (among the reserves).’ So I’m happy for him », continued Stephon Castle, whose name was also mentioned by their coach, disappointed that he only saw “Wemby” at first.
“Nothing happens without a great leader”
« that’s great. He really deserves it. Works like crazy. He is one of the leaders, the tip of the spear. He is a playmaker. Nothing happens without a great leader and he is just that this year. We produce very good basketball and he absolutely deserves to be an All-Star “, also congratulates Carter Bryant.
The latter will also travel to Los Angeles for the slam dunk contest, while Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper will participate in the Rising Stars. But obviously, all eyes will be on Sunday’s matches with the “World” selection in which Victor Wembanyama and “USA Stripes” De’Aaron Fox will play.
« When we see other teams that have two All-Stars, I don’t see why that wouldn’t be the case for us. ,” notes Stephon Castle, citing the fact that all the other Top 5 teams in the West already had two representatives selected.
« There are a lot of guys who have very high stats but have no impact on winning. And when you can influence the outcome, that’s when it really counts. Everyone sees it. If (…) you look, you see that he defends like a devil, hits his shots, makes the right move and understands the impact he makes as a striker. », states Carter Bryant. The message is over: De’Aaron Fox is where he belongs.
