Fox reveals – De’Aaron Fox praised Victor Wembanyama after the Spurs’ 103-82 Game 4 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, tying the Western Conference Finals 2-2 and moving San Antonio two wins from the NBA Finals. Fox also confirmed Wembanyama’s postgame routine: avoiding bl
Frost Bank Center felt different after Sunday’s 103-82 statement from the San Antonio Spurs. Game 4 wasn’t just a win—it was the moment the Western Conference Finals swung back, with the series leveled 2-2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
De’Aaron Fox carried the conversation after the final horn. but it was Victor Wembanyama who made the scoreboard do the talking. Once again. the 7-foot-4 superstar authored the kind of all-over-the-floor performance that turns a series into a personal showcase: 33 points. eight rebounds. five assists. two steals. and three blocks.
Fox didn’t hide his admiration for what Wembanyama has been building with the Spurs. The veteran guard, speaking in the postgame interview, said “Everything you hear about Victor is true. He doesn’t wanna see blue light after nine o’clock.” He then explained the routine in plain terms: “When we have games end close to midnight. he comes to the locker room with blue-light glasses on.”.
Fox put up 12 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists of his own as the Spurs corrected course at the right time. With San Antonio now two wins away from entering the NBA Finals, the series reset didn’t just change the math—it changed the mood around the team.
Wembanyama’s blue-light avoidance is more than a quirky detail. Blue light is known to be harmful because it can cause eye strain and suppresses melatonin. Fox’s description matches the star’s approach to protecting his sleep cycle. adding another layer to a routine fans have watched evolve into something almost ritualistic.
That standout process has been part of Wembanyama’s reputation for a while. He has lived for several days in a monastery in China to help strengthen his mind and spirit. and he has also made reading a book part of his pregame habit. For Fox, it’s all evidence that the work goes far beyond the highlight reel.
“He truly loves the game. He truly takes care of his body. Out of all the things he does with the basketball, he’s even better as a person,” Fox added.
Fox’s path to these playoffs has carried its own weight. He was traded to the San Antonio Spurs via a three-team deal in the middle of the season in 2025. a move that came after a string of disappointments with the Sacramento Kings. Joining Wembanyama in his second year. Fox quickly recognized both the brilliance and the intellect of the 22-year-old superstar. a realization that strengthened his belief the Spurs were building something special.
Now that belief has a postseason finish within reach. After beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-82 in Game 4 at Frost Bank Center on Sunday. the Spurs have tied the best-of-seven series 2-2—and Wembanyama is right at the center of it all. from the box score to the blue-light glasses that signal his approach to the next day.

Blue light glasses after 9?? That sounds like bedtime rules not basketball.
Wait so Wembanyama is avoiding blue light and that’s supposed to help him sleep?? I mean good for him but 33 points is what really matters lol.
I think this article is saying he got like… frostbite from the Frost Bank Center?? Blue light glasses, close to midnight, locker room… idk sounds like a marketing thing, but congrats to Spurs.
As if basketball players can just “turn off” blue light. Melatonin this melatonin that. Also the score was 103-82 so obviously whatever routine they did worked, right? I’m just confused why Fox is talking about glasses instead of defense, like cmon.
