Eight days after the start of the playoffs, the injuries are linked, and this time, it is the turn of the Kings to be hit hard since the franchise announces that De’Aaron Fox fractured the index finger of his left hand. According ESPNthe All-Star point guard would be hit in the last knuckle, and he will try to play Game 5 with protection.
For now, the Kings write that it is uncertain for the meeting, and no doubt that Fox will do tests by tomorrow to assess the pain, and gauge if there is a risk of aggravating his injury. As it is his hand to shoot, it will be disabling, even with protection.
Winner of the first Clutch Player Of The Year trophy, Fox is one of the best players at the start of the playoffs with 31.5 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists on average!
Since the start of the playoffs, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Tyler Herro, Kawhi Leonard, Victor Oladipo and even Ja Morant have been injured…
