On a penetration in the last quarter against the Lakers, De’Aaron Fox stepped on Gabe Vincent’s foot and twisted his right ankle. He stayed on the ground for a while, before coming out.
Then he quickly returned to the game, scored important baskets and free throws in money time. But in overtime, after 90 seconds, Mike Brown made the decision to take him out for good.
“He felt he could play, so he stayed on the floor, but as soon as he saw that he could no longer do it, we took him out,” sums up the coach for the Sacramento Bee. “We saw him fight despite his injury, he didn’t want to go out,” continues Kevin Huerter. “He wasn’t supposed to play this overtime. He’s a warrior. »
Following this match won by Sacramento, the player took exams. The results came as a relief to the Kings: De’Aaron Fox (37 points against Los Angeles) does not suffer from a very serious sprain, tells us The Athletic. He will nevertheless go to the infirmary for a few days and will therefore miss several matches.
Kings All-Star De’Aaron Fox has avoided significant injury, but has sustained a moderate sprain of his right ankle and he is likely to miss some time, sources tell me and @sam_amick. Fox played through the sprain down stretch of 37 points and victory over Lakers on Sunday.
