Fox is off to a fantastic start to the new season and is one of the best point guards in the NBA. 

Therefore, his status going forward will be very important for the Kings.

Frankie Cartoscelli of Sactown Sports 1140 provided more details following Mike Brown's press conference. 

Via Cartoscelli: "Mike Brown says that he planned on subbing De'Aaron Fox out, but he stayed on the floor anyway. 

As the game went on and Fox's limping increased, Brown and the coaching staff pulled him from the game. 

No update on Fox right now, but it's fair to assume he will undergo testing."
