In the first game of the Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox era, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Atlanta Hawks, 126-125.

Victor Wembanyama made a go-ahead free throw with 2.9 seconds remaining and De'Aaron Fox shined in his Spurs debut as San Antonio escaped with a 126-125 win over the host Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

He is different,” Fox said. “He is special. Just the type of defensive attention he receives allows you to do things you don't normally do.” It was a winning combination in Fox's debut with the San Antonio Spurs.

The De'Aaron Fox era is off to a great start for San Antonio. The former Kings All-Star made his Spurs debut Wednesday and came out of the gates hot to help lead San Antonio to a 126-125 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
