De'Aaron Fox’s Wife Shares 'Awkward' Behind-the-Scenes Suns Moment as Spurs Suffer Another Deflating Loss

De'Aaron Fox’s wife, Recee Fox, was caught in a pickle on Sunday at the Mortgage Matchup Center. The wife of the San Antonio Spurs star booked a seat for herself to cheer her husband in the game against the Phoenix Suns.

However, the plan didn't go as planned for Recee Fox. She had accidentally booked her ticket right behind the host's bench. Caught in an awkward situation, Recee posted the situation in real time.

She posted a picture of De'Aaron Fox at the free-throw line, as she sat behind the Spurs bench.

"Accidentally got tickets directly behind the Suns bench....very awkward," she wrote in the caption.

It wasn't just Recee who had an unfortunate night at the Suns' home court. Her husband and her team also suffered their 5th loss of the season. Despite De’Aaron Fox's heroics, the Spurs couldn't hold the attack from Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks.

The Spurs dominated the first half, outscoring the Suns in both quarters, and entered the halftime with a 7-point lead. However, the Suns outscored them by 13 points in the third quarter and controlled the game. Brooks and Booker scored 25 and 24 points, respectively.

The Spurs played without Victor Wembanyama, who has been out with a calf strain. Fox led the Spurs with 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 33 minutes.
