28 Dec
Summary
- De'Aaron Fox ruled out with left adductor tightness/illness.
- Spurs recently defeated the top-ranked Oklahoma City Thunder.
- Jazz are playing the second game of a back-to-back set.
The San Antonio Spurs are set to face the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, with De'Aaron Fox notably absent from the Spurs' lineup. The star player has been officially ruled out due to left adductor tightness and illness, according to the NBA injury report. This absence impacts the Spurs as they aim to maintain their winning streak.
San Antonio is coming off an impressive 117-102 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Christmas Day, a performance that highlighted their capability against top-tier opponents. The Spurs, holding a strong 23-7 record, will now need to adapt their strategy to overcome the 11-19 Jazz without Fox.
The Jazz, conversely, are playing the second game of a back-to-back, having secured a 131-129 win against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Their injury report for the Saturday matchup was not yet released at the time of this report. The Spurs also have other players, including several from their G League two-way contracts, listed as out or questionable.
