The Spurs have listed starting point guard De’Aaron Fox (right ankle soreness) and backup center Luke Kornet (left foot soreness) as questionable for the opening game of the Western Conference finals, tweets Jared Weiss of The Athletic. The defending champion Thunder will host the Spurs for Monday’s Game 1.
As Weiss notes, Fox has been playing through the right ankle issue for a while. The 28-year-old was also listed as questionable near the end of the second-round series vs. Minnesota, but didn’t miss any time as a result of the injury.
After averaging 18.6 points, 6.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 31.0 minutes per game across 72 regular season appearances, Fox has put up very similar statistics thus far in the playoffs. Through 11 games, the two-time All-Star has averaged 18.8 PPG, 5.8 APG, 3.5 RPG and 1.1 SPG in 33.2 MPG.
Kornet had six points, six rebounds and four blocks in 14 minutes during Friday’s series-clinching victory over the Wolves. The veteran big man has appeared in every 2026 postseason game for San Antonio to this point, averaging 5.6 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 1.2 BPG in 16.5 MPG.
