How De'Aaron Fox is helping Spurs prepare for training camp
The All-Star guard wants to make sure the team is ready to hit the ground running when camp starts later this month.
San Antonio Spurs guard De Aaron Fox is aiding the team's preparation for training camp by organizing informal workouts at his home in Houston. Although the Spurs' training camp kicks off in late September, Fox is bringing star player Victor Wembanyama, free agent acquisition Tobias Harris, and veteran forward Harrison Barnes together for two-a-day practices.
As highlighted in a team video shared on its official X account, these pre-camp sessions are intended to give the group a head start and prevent them from falling behind once training camp commences. Fox believes that working out together is beneficial for the players, stating, "You are going to be behind and trying to be playing catch up.
So just being able to do these things, to get (a few guys) together, it allows you get a little bit ahead." Harris, who signed with the Spurs this summer to provide veteran depth and scoring, expressed his enthusiasm about being part of the informal workout sessions. "Iron sharpens iron," Harris remarked, emphasizing the value of these gatherings.
While this is not the first time Spurs players have come together outside of San Antonio for training, in early August, the team posted images of Wembanyama, Harris, and six other players who lost against the New York Knicks in the previous Finals.
