Kings star guard De’Aaron Fox is expected to miss 10-to-14 days after being placed under the league’s health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets in conjunction with colleague Sam Amick.
Fox, who tweaked an ankle earlier this week, has been extremely durable this season. He’s appeared in 58 of 59 games, averaging 25.2 PPG and 7.2 APG. He’s been on a scoring tear lately with 30 or more points in six of the last nine games.
The loss of its top player could extinguish any hope of Sacramento making the play-in round. Even if Fox is only out 10 days, he’d miss five games. The Kings trail the 10th-place Warriors by five games in the standings.
this season sucks
Going to be some wild spreads the next 5 games.
You make it sound like they had a chance at the Playoffs all year. They haven’t had a chance since the 2nd week. They beat 2 or 3 good playoff teams and get their A**es handed to them w/ all the sub-500 teams that they should be dominating.
The Kings haven’t even made the playoffs since Adelman left 15 years ago.
