De'Aaron Fox injury not serious
The Sacramento Kings aren’t expecting to be without All-Star point guard De’Aaron Fox for long. The team said Tuesday that Fox underwent an MRI on his sore left wrist that revealed no significant damage. He could be back as soon as Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Golden 1 Center or Saturday when the Kings host the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Streaking. The Kings made it four straight wins Tuesday night in OKC when they handed the Thunder a 123-117 loss. Playing without De’Aaron Fox, it wasn’t pretty, but the team persevered to move 11 games over .500 at 36-25. Here are 6 quick thoughts: – 10:29 PM

Updated story: De’Aaron Fox has only missed five games this season. The Kings are 1-4 without him. Can they get one tonight to wrap up a perfect road trip?

A little late to the part on this due to radio duties, but De’Aaron Fox is questionable for tomorrow with a sore left wrist.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will miss another matchup against the Kings with right ankle soreness and an abdominal strain. – 7:11 PM

Not only is De’Aaron Fox on a ridiculous scoring stretch, his shooting percentage is beyond efficient.
In the 9 of the last 10 games he’s scored 30 or more points, he’s shooting 56% (110/195) from the field.
His WORST shooting night was 47.8%
Unstoppable. – 9:53 PM

1. The stars starred. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis are the cornerstones of the franchise and they dominated on Sunday. Fox carved up the Thunder for 33 points and 8 assists. This was his seventh straight game scoring 30 points or more. – 9:27 PM

James Ham: According to a league source, De’Aaron had a precautionary MRI on his left wrist on Tuesday. There were no significant findings, which is good news. He is day-to-day and there is optimism for a quick return. @ChrisBiderman first -via Twitter @James_HamNBA / March 1, 2023
Sean Cunningham: The wrist soreness will keep De’Aaron fox out tonight in OKC. -via Twitter @SeanCunningham / February 28, 2023
Brown mentioned the increased need to score out of the midrange as the defensive pressure inevitably cranks up. This task will mostly be assigned to Fox. He leads the NBA with 148 clutch points this season and only 15 of them have come from 3. He’s 52 of 83 from inside the arc in close late-game situations, killing opponents on quick attacks to the rim, but also short jumpers and midrange floaters. “Those are the shots that good defensive teams are giving,” Brown said. -via The Athletic / February 23, 2023
