Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fox will miss his fifth game in a row as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle. The Kings started Keon Ellis during Wednesday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. It's possible that the Kings continue with the strategy, which means Davion Mitchell would come off the bench. Neither player has great streaming value, but Mitchell has higher upside than Ellis right now.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The star guard continues to miss time as he recovers from a sprained right ankle. Davion Mitchell has started in each of the last three games with Fox on the sideline. During that span, Fox is averaging 8.3 points, 2.3 boards, 3.7 assists. He does enough to make himself a streaming option, but Mitchell is nowhere near as productive as Fox.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets with the right ankle sprain he suffered last Sunday. This is slightly disappointing after The Athletic's Shams Charania reported last Thursday that Fox may have been eyeing a return either this past Saturday or perhaps for Monday's matchup with Houston. Fox's initial timetable had him penciled out for about one week of action, however, so he could be closing in a return. The 25-year-old All-Star's next chance to suit up comes on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers, and he should continue to be deemed day-to-day ahead of that tilt. Davion Mitchell is looking at another game of low-end streaming value as a Kings starter, while more responsibility is put on the plate of sixth man Malik Monk against Houston.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) remains sidelined for Saturday's showdown with the Rockets in Houston. There was talk he may have been back for this meeting. However, it appears that wasn't the case. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 31.3 points in his three appearances this season, meaning fantasy managers would like him back on the floor as soon as possible. But for now, Davion Mitchell, averaging 13 points, four assists, and three steals as a starter, will likely continue to fill the void left by Fox. Fortunately, Sacramento plays again on Monday in Houston, so Fox should benefit by not having to travel over the next few days.

The Athletic's Shams Charania hears that Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is considered day-to-day and could play either in Saturday or Monday's game versus the Houston Rockets. This is an encouraging development after the Kings previously announced that Fox was out indefinitely due to a right ankle sprain he suffered during last Sunday's overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Davion Mitchell provided 13 points, four assists, and three steals over 29 minutes in Wednesday's spot start against the Golden State Warriors, but it appears the expiration date on his streaming appeal is already drawing near. Fox, nearly supplying first-round 9-category fantasy value on the strength of 31.3 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 threes, and 1.3 steals per night, needs to be immediately reinserted into season-long lineups upon his return, regardless of any type of potential minutes restrictions.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has dodged a serious right ankle injury but will miss some time. After rolling his ankle, Fox returned to try and close out Sunday's 132-127 overtime win versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Postgame X-rays showed a moderate ankle sprain, which is a better prognosis than one of the higher-grade variety. With that said, the 25-year-old is still likely to be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fox is instrumental to head coach Mike Brown's up-tempo philosophy, averaging 31.3 points, 6.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds over three games this year. Microwave scorer Malik Monk figures to be the primary beneficiary of Fox's potentially week-long absence, but he averaged only 19.4 minutes during eight games without Fox last season. Davion Mitchell may also need to step up, while Domantas Sabonis garners heavier usage.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox hurt his right ankle in Sunday's 132-127 overtime win against the Lakers. The Kings star was injured late in the fourth quarter. He left for the locker room after rolling his ankle, but Fox was back on the court when overtime started, logging 1:31 of further action before being subbed and sitting out the rest of the contest. According to Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee, Fox ignored team instructions by returning. He ended up needing help to get to the locker room after the game. Fox, who scored 13 of his game-high 37 points in the fourth quarter, would be a huge miss for the Kings if he now has to sit out action. Davion Mitchell will be expected to carry a much heavier load if Fox is out.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) won't need surgery this offseason. The 25-year-old suffered a fractured left index finger during the postseason. Despite that, Fox continued to play and was excellent for the Kings in the playoffs. Sadly, it wasn't enough for them to get out of the first round. The good news is, Fox won't need surgery and should be fully healed in two or three weeks. It'll be interesting to see what the Kings do this offseason to add more talent around Fox and Domantas Sabonis.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox did it all in Friday's Game 6 victory over Golden State, providing 26 points on 10-for-18 shooting and picking up four rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and one block. Despite breaking his finger earlier in the series, Fox continues to post good numbers, and having netted at least 20-point in each game so far, Fox now shares the franchise record with Oscar Robertson for the longest 20-point streak to begin a playoff career. For the entire series, Fox has averaged 29.3 points with 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.1 steals.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) will play on Wednesday night versus the Golden State Warriors. The 25-year-old has averaged 31.5 points, 7.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals in this series, so it's undoubtedly fantastic news. But considering he's dealing with a left finger fracture, he may be limited in what he can do physically. However, Fox isn't expected to see much attention from fantasy managers because of the injury, making him an ideal DFS option for those willing to go against the grain, especially if he goes off.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) is now listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fox fractured his index finger on his left hand during Game 4's loss, but stated he intends to play through the injury. The Kings initially stated Fox would be considered doubtful moving forward so this is a step in the right direction. If Fox is unable to play through the injury, Davion Mitchell will be next in line for the start.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) stated he intends to play through his fractured finger on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Fox fractured his left index finger and was originally expected to be doubtful to play Wednesday. However, Fox stated after Tuesday's practice he fully intends to play through the injury. The Kings have not released their injury report ahead of Game 5 yet. If Fox were to see any limitations, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk would likely see increased minutes.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The 25-year-old has suffered a fracture in his left index finger. This is a huge blow to the Kings who are currently tied at 2-2 in their playoff series with Golden State. Davion Mitchell is expected to move into the starting five with Fox unlikely to play. However, it's going to be basically impossible to fill the void of Fox. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Fox, but it seems like he'll miss at least one game because of this injury.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox poured in a game-high 38 points in Sunday's narrow Game 4 loss to Golden State. He finished 14-for-31 from the field and nailed four of his 11 attempts from deep, posting a new franchise record for most points through the first four games of a playoff campaign. Fox is averaging 31.5 points in the matchup and has totaled 126 points, surpassing Oscar Robertson (122) for the record. On Sunday, he also notched nine rebounds and five assists with one steal in 40 minutes. Fox has looked fantastic in the playoffs so far and should continue to play a major role as the series shifts back to Sacramento.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox may have struggled in the shooting department on Thursday night, but he came just shy of his first-ever triple-double in the playoffs. In the 114-97 loss, Fox put up 26 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, and two steals while shooting 9-for-22 and just 3-for-9 from deep. The 25-year-old was the only player on the team with more than 17 points despite his struggles shooting the ball. His true shooting percentages take a dip while playing on the road, but after getting acclimated to San Francisco, the Kings seem primed to bounce back.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox has officially won the first-ever Clutch Player of the Year award for the 2022-23 regular season. Among all the players in the league that played at least 10 games in clutch time, Fox averaged the most points with 5.0 per game and had one of the best records at 22-17. According to NBA.com, clutch time is the last five minutes of a game where the score difference is five points or less. During that time, Fox also shot 52.9% from the floor, 31.8% from three, and 86.0% from the line. He beat out the other popular candidates, DeMar DeRozan and Jimmy Butler, by 0.3 and 1.5 points per game respectively.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox went off for a game-high 38 points in his playoff debut against Golden State on Saturday. Domantas Sabonis might have scored the first playoff points in 17 years for the Kings, but it was Fox and Malik Monk who led the offense, combining for 70 points in a 126-123 victory. They are the second duo ever to score 30 points with both making their playoff debut, following Alonzo Mourning and Kendall Gill in 1993 with Charlotte. Fox delivered his line with 13-for-27 shooting, hitting half of his eight attempts from deep. His night also included one rebound, five assists and three steals. The Kings looked great, even with Sabonis shooting only 5-for-17 from the field, and the Warriors definitely have their work cut out to avoid a first-round exit.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Kings have most of their regular players listed as questionable for this game. They might already know their seed before tip-off, so they'd likely rest their starters if that happens. That being said, fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time for more information. Davion Mitchell would likely slide into the starting five if Fox gets ruled out. He'd be a decent streaming option, assuming the Kings rest a majority of their starters.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is good news after Fox missed Saturday's contest due to right hamstring soreness. The expectation is that Fox won't be limited after a one-game absence and slide right back into the starting five. That also means, Davion Mitchell will head back to the bench where he won't have as great of streaming appeal anymore. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Fox back in their lineups for Monday.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's showdown with Minnesota. The 25-year-old has a sore right hamstring, which kept him out of Saturday's win over the Utah Jazz. Davion Mitchell got the start and ended the night with 11 points, six assists, and four steals. At the same time, Keegan Murray and Kevin Huerter flourished, combining for 49 points. That said, if Fox misses another one, Mitchell, Murray, and Huerter could all continue to see an increase in production. Of course, Domantas Sabonis should remain the primary contributor for fantasy managers.
