Report: Kings’ De’Aaron Fox fractures finger on shooting hand, doubtful for Game 5 vs. Warriors

The Kings All-Star guard reportedly fractured the tip of his finger on his shooting hand in Game 4 and is doubtful for Game 5 on Wednesday.

With the series tied at 2-2, the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings will head back to Golden 1 Center on Wednesday for Game 5. Before Game 5 tips off on Wednesday in Sacramento, the Kings were reportedly dealt a major blow to a key piece in the starting lineup.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Kings All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox suffered a fractured index finger on his left shooting hand. Fox is expected to be listed as doubtful for Game 5 against the Warriors on Wednesday, per Charania.

Via @ShamsCharania on Twitter:

In a tweet shared by Anthony Slater of the Athletic, Fox appeared to injure his finger during the closing run of the fourth quarter in the Kings’ Game 4 loss to the Warriors on Sunday. Fox’s hand comes into contact with Kevon Looney on a layup attempt in the final frame of Sunday’s contest.

Via @anthonyVslater on Twitter:

Fox is coming off another sizzling performance in his first appearance in the playoffs. In Game 4, Fox tallied a game-high 38 points on 14-of-31 shooting from the floor with nine rebounds and five assists.

In four playoff games, Fox is averaging 31.5 points on 44.7% shooting from the field with seven assists, six rebounds and 2.5 steals in 38.5 minutes per game.

If Fox can’t go in Game 5, the Kings will lean on Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk in the backcourt alongside Kevin Huerter.

The Kings will host the Warriors for Game 5 on Wednesday at 7 p.m. PT at Golden 1 Center.

The Kings All-Star big man is listed as questionable for Game 3 on Thursday.

With the Golden State Warriors missing Draymond Green due to a suspension for Game 3, the Sacramento Kings could also potentially be without an All-Star in the frontcourt on Thursday evening in San Francisco.

On Tuesday, Domantas Sabonis was listed on the injury report with a sternum contusion. The Kings center is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Game 3 at Chase Center.

Via @ShamsCharania on Twitter:

After the pair of battling bigs were tangled up while in transition during Game 2 in Sacramento, Sabonis appeared to grab Green’s leg, causing the former Defensive Player of the Year to step on his chest. Following a review, Green was ejected and Sabonis was assessed a technical foul.

With Green ejected, the Kings secured a 2-0 lead in the series with the win in Game 2.

After the incident on Monday night, Sabonis underwent X-rays in his ribs/lungs area. The X-rays came back negative, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
