Sacramento Kings' De'Aaron Fox Could Join Fellow Kentucky Alum Tyler Herro On Injured List
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox is among the impressive list of former Kentucky players in the NBA playoffs but he could miss the pivotal Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors.
Fox reportedly fractured the tip of a finger on his left shooting hand in Sunday's Game 4 loss, according to multiple reports. The series is tied at 2.
Kings guard De'Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there's still hope he will try and play Game 5 on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful.
