De’Aaron Fox fractures finger, doubtful for Game 5
The Sacramento Kings may have to adjust on the fly as their superstar guard De’Aaron Fox is unlikely to be available for Game 5.
In a game that was decided by a single point and a last-second Harrison Barnes miss, the Kings not only lost a pivotal road match but may also face the reigning champs for several more games without their All-Star guard.
Fox, who ranked tied for fourth in the NBA in playoff scoring, was averaging 31.5 points per game throughout the first four games of the series. However, in that fourth game, he suffered a fractured index finger, per The Athletic and Stadium reporter Shams Charania.
Fox is doubtful for Game 5.
