Fox's disastrous Finals performance has upset many Spurs fans. On June 15th, Beijing time, fans discovered Fox had unfollowed the Spurs' official social media, igniting widespread discussion.


Some fans wrote, "The Spurs really need to trade him!" Others said, "He's a liability; instead, he helped the Knicks win the championship." Some fans also noticed that Fox has instead started following many Knicks players, such as Brunson, Hart, and Bridges, who were all in Fox's following list.
It's worth noting that Fox signed a 4-year, $229 million contract extension with the Spurs last August, which is set to start next season. Given his Finals performance and current salary, few teams are likely to show interest in him.
This is not the first time Fox has been discussed by fans due to social media unfollowing. In February last year, Fox unfollowed former Kings teammate Domantas Sabonis, his former Kings teammate, on social media. Subsequently, fans questioned him in the comment section of his latest post.

A fan asked, "Why did you unfollow Sabonis?"
Fox replied, "I don't want to see his updates. Does that have anything to do with you?" Fox also hinted in his comments that his relationship with Sabonis was limited to the basketball court, and they were not close privately, which was opposite to public perception.
He wrote, "We are just teammates. There's no need for people to be too close."

What kind of sentiment is Fox hinting at hinting at this time by unfollowing the Spurs? Previously, multiple media figures suggested that Fox should not start next season, that Harper deserves more playing time, and some reporters believed the Spurs might be forced to choose between the two players.
