Dylan Harper addressed the rumors about his relationship with De’Aaron Fox. There were rumors that the starting point guard position caused a rift between Harper and Fox. The allegations appeared after the San Antonio Spurs lost in the NBA Finals to the New York Knicks.
However, Harper denied the rumors about it during his interview with NBA reporter Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson on Tuesday. The former Rutgers star explained his dynamic with the two-time All-Star.
“I mean, I feel like what’s understood doesn’t need to be explained… I don’t have anything bad to ever say about him because, at the end of the day, he’s taught me so much… Me and him have a great relationship where it’s like… he’s kind of my uncle,” Harper told Scoop B.

After fans saw the report, they put most of their attention on what Dylan Harper calls his older teammate. The fact that Fox, 28, was called “uncle” despite being older than Harper, 20, surprised fans.
“Dylan hitting Fox with unc is gonna burn him more than losing his starting position ever could,” a fan said.
“Cmon dawg, say big bro. That n***a 8 years older than you lol,” a comment read.
