Spurs fans can rejoice at the news that De'Aaron Fox is finally going to suit up on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The front office has been fairly tight-lipped about his progress, repeating the same phrase, "He's trending the right way and ramping up." It was enough to drive the fans insane. They want to know what's going on with their star guard. That information has now been divulged.
Basically, Fox’s ramp-up took so long because they wanted to make sure he was ready to go in full once he returned. https://t.co/OOfoDHunP0

That makes perfect sense and is one of the few answers Coach Mitch Johnson could have given to satiate Spurs Nation.
