De’Aaron Fox fractures a finger in his prime

New injury in the battered 2023 NBA Playoffs. De’Aaron Fox It will be a serious doubt for the fifth meeting between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors after he hurt himself in the fourth period of the fourth game, the last played to date. Shams Charania, journalist from The Athletic, advanced the news this Monday. The player from the purple team has fractured the tip of the index finger of his left hand, with which he usually shoots to the basket, but he will try to continue in the tie even with that problem. He is going to play with protection in that part of the body to be available, although until the last minute -before the fifth game- it will not be known if he will be able to participate or not.

Fox joins Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Clippers Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, Grizzlies Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, Jaden McDaniels, Heat Victor Oladipo and Tyler Herro, all kinds of injuries that these 2023 Playoffs have orphaned in their first steps.

Fox is the undisputed leader of the Kings in this first round with the Warriors, which is currently tied at two. He leads the Kings in points (31.5), assists (7), steals (2.5) and 3-pointers made (13). His loss is, therefore, a hard blow for Mike Brown’s men, who are fighting to play a good role in these series.
