De’Aaron Fox made headlines for all the wrong reasons after Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Things didn’t get much better in Game 5.

The Spurs star scored just five points on 2-for-8 shooting through the first two quarters on Saturday night.

On top of that, he was also called for a costly flagrant 1 foul late in the second quarter against the Knicks’ Josh Hart.

Fox was at the center of the Spurs’ historic 29-point collapse in Game 4 when he was blocked by OG Anunoby on a layup attempt instead of trying to kill some close in the final 20 seconds of the fourth quarter.

During the “Inside the NBA” halftime show on ABC on Saturday, Charles Barkley took Fox to task.

“[Spurs coach Mitch Johnson] gotta go with [Stephon] Castle and [Dylan] Harper. He’s got to take Fox out of the game,” Barkley said. “I hate saying that because I am a big De’Aaron Fox fan. But if you are coach Johnson, you can’t be worried about people’s feelings out here.”

As for the flagrant foul in the second quarter, Barkley said: “This to me, nah man, this can’t happen”
