this san antonio spurs There are two All-Stars set to play in Los Angeles on Sunday. NBA announced De’Aaron Fox Serve as a substitute for the wounded Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Milwaukee Bucks star suffered a calf injury on Jan. 23 and is expected to miss several weeks.

This will be the Foxes’ second All-Star selection. His debut will come in the 2022-23 season while he is still with the Sacramento Kings. This season, the former Kentucky star has played in 45 games, averaging 19.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

Following the announcement, fans expressed their reactions to the league’s decision. Here are some of what fans are saying.

“Austin Reeves will replace Luka Doncic next!!!” one fan said.

“Well deserved! Fox has been trying all season to earn star seats, not give them. Tottenham have been given a real star seat,” Another fan commented.

“Darren Fox is finally getting All-Star recognition…but honestly, he shouldn’t be the replacement, he should be on the roster from day one,” one fan said.

However, some fans believe the NBA was not the right move in appointing Fox as a replacement. Other fans think it should be someone else.

“He’s not even from another country, where is Austin Reeves???” someone commented.

“Damn, they’re not going to let Lauri Markkanen join that team, are they?” One fan commented.

De’Aaron Fox posts on Instagram after earning second All-Star selection

The San Antonio Spurs have been successful this season, thanks to the stellar performance of De’Aaron Fox. Fox’s ability to manage the pitch and direct traffic is crucial to the team, although Victor Wembanyama should get most of the credit. This is why the Spurs currently have six consecutive wins and a record of 38 wins and 16 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Following his All-Star break, the one-time All-Star posted on his Instagram to honor his second appearance.

“Roll into the break and have fun!” Fox posted.

According to Spurs Report editor Dusty Garza, although Fox will replace Antetokounmpo, he will not play for the World Team. Garza posted on X that the NBA star will play for the Stripes, who are coached by the Spurs’ Mitch Johnson.

De’Aaron Fox was named to injured reserve after Giannis Antetokounmpo went down with a right calf strain ahead of the 2026 All-Star Game, officials said. This is a big moment for San Antonio. Fox becomes the franchise’s first All-Star guard since Dejounte Murray in 2022

The format is different this year, with two U.S. teams and one World team. All teams have eight players and will play against each other in a tournament format.
