Sacramento Kings star guard De'Aaron Fox (hand) is dealing with a ligament issue in his left pinky on his shooting hand, but he intends to play through it. The speedy guard dislocated the finger during training camp, though X-rays were negative. The injury hasn't impacted his scoring efficiency, as he's shooting a solid 47.7 percent from the field across six games this season. So far, he's averaging 23.5 points, 5.7 assists, and 2.5 steals per game and continues to make a strong impact on both ends of the floor.
De'Aaron Fox Not Interested In Signing Extension This Year
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox isn't expected to ink an extension with the team this year. According to The Athletic, the 2023 All-Star wants to see how the roster takes shape for the long haul before committing himself to the Kings. There is also the added incentive of earning a bigger deal if Fox makes an All-NBA team. His current $163 million contract has two more years left to run. Fox has taken big strides as a player in recent seasons, with the Kings' playing style suiting him like a glove. The 26-year-old averaged career-highs in points (26.6), rebounds (4.6), and steals (2.0) in 2023-24, leading the league in the latter category.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Fox appears to be fine after suffering a right ankle sprain during Thursday's game. Fox said afterwards that he was fine, so it appears that he was right. Fantasy managers should expect Fox to carry his normal workload ahead of Friday's game.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) will play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The star guard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a left knee contusion. Fox was able to practice on Sunday without issues, so he should be fully cleared for this game. His return means that Keon Ellis and Davion Mitchell will have decreased roles in the rotation. Both players will be difficult to trust, but Fox can be plugged back into fantasy lineups.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) was a full participant during Sunday's practice session. Fox has missed two straight games and is currently considered questionable for Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls. Davion Mitchell and Keon Ellis each started a game in the absence of Fox. Mitchell did little with his opportunity, but Ellis made the most of it with four steals and seven assists. That being said, Ellis appears to be the better streaming choice between the two if Fox is forced to miss this game.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is unavailable Friday against Minnesota. On Monday night, he suffered a knee contusion in a loss to Miami, and he didn't play in Wednesday's contest against Denver. Chris Duarte scored 18 points in 26 minutes, meaning he will see plenty of playing time and attention from fantasy managers with Fox out. The 26-year-old point guard Fox will be missed against the Timberwolves as he has averaged 26.9 points per game in 51 regular season contests.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is questionable heading into Friday's matchup with Minnesota. He suffered a knee contusion on Monday night in the loss to Miami and was ruled out before Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Davion Mitchell got the start in that one. However, he had just five points, three assists, and a steal in 16 minutes. On the other hand, Chris Duarte scored 18 points in 26 minutes, meaning he'll see plenty of attention from fantasy managers if Fox can't suit up.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is now out for Wednesday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. He injured his left knee on Tuesday in the loss to the Miami Heat. However, the 26-year-old finished with 27 points in 39 minutes. Fox did go through shootaround on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup on Friday in Minnesota. Davion Mitchell is expected to slide into the starting lineup. But the 2021 No. 9 overall pick has averaged just 8.3 points in three starts this season, meaning he's hard to trust for fantasy purposes. On the other hand, Malik Monk should spend more time at the one, brightening his fantasy outlook on Wednesday evening.
According to Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown, guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) will go through pre-game warmups ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. If all goes well, he'll suit up. The 26-year-old suffered a left knee contusion in Tuesday's loss to the Miami Heat. Yet, he still finished with 27 points while logging 39 minutes. Without question, Denver needs him out there against the defending champs. However, if Fox can't play, Malik Monk could see more action at the one, regardless of whether it's starting or off the bench, making him a must-start in all fantasy setups.
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee), who is still questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets, was a full participant in the morning shootaround. Fox is nursing a left knee contusion, but his presence at Wednesday's session bodes well for his game status. Consider the speedy point guard to be on the right side of the questionable tag. Fox has made at least 12 field goals in each of his last five showings, piling up 31.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.2 dimes, and 2.6 steals per game covering this interval ahead of a tough matchup against a Nuggets group that's allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing point guards, according to DraftKings scoring.
