De’Aaron Fox has been on a tear this season. The former Kentucky guard, alongside another former Kentucky guard in Malik Monk, has led the Kings to a 3-seed in the Western Conference and a 2-2 tie with the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
But on Monday it was revealed that Fox fractured the tip of his index finger in the final minutes of Game 4’s loss to the Warriors in San Francisco. Because of this, Fox is doubtful for Wednesday’s Game 5 in Sacramento.
