De'Aaron Fox's poor performance in the NBA Finals has raised questions about his future with the Spurs, but the team may keep him due to financial flexibility and his potential role in a championship run.

• De'Aaron Fox struggled in the NBA Finals and Western Conference Finals for the Spurs
• Fox is on a four-year $229 million contract and is the highest-paid player on the Spurs roster
• The Spurs have financial flexibility due to their young core's low salaries and are considering keeping Fox as a luxury for now
• Harper is expected to push for a starting role, but Fox could still contribute as a sixth man in a championship pursuit
