Kings’ star Fox can miss Game 5

De’Aaron Fox can be unavailable for his team in Game 5 from the 1^st round series in the Western Conference versus the Golden State Warriors.

Kings guard De’Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there’s still hope he will try and play Game 5 on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful.
