De’Aaron Fox plans to play in Game 5

"No ifs, ands or buts. I'm playing" - De'Aaron Fox said to Sacramento media today after practice.
By | 46 Comments | Apr 25, 2023

Apr 20, 2023; San Francisco, California, USA; Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (5) dribbles the ball next to Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) in the second quarter during game three of the 2023 NBA playoffs at the Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

Despite being listed as doubtful to play after news broke that he had suffered an avulsion fracture in the index finger of his shooting hand, Sacramento Kings star De’Aaron Fox says he’s planning to play tomorrow in a pivotal Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors.

The Kings star guard was sporting a protective covering on his finger and was seen getting shots up with assistant coach Luke Loucks.

If Fox can play and sustain anywhere near the level of play that he’s been exhibiting so far this postseason, that’s huge news for the Kings.  Through the first four games of the series, Fox is averaging 31.5 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 2.5 steals a game.

I find it a bit silly to try to stick it to people who thought Simmons might be the way to go. At the time it wasn’t unreasonable. Putting Simmons with Hali etc.

Raises hand.

Yup, I did, but that was also when the Kings had Hali, the Kings had missed 14 straight playoffs, Fox had not taken the Kings beyond 39 wins in 5 years, and had just regressed from year 4 to year 5.

The additions of Sabonis, Huerter, Murray, and Monk changes things a bit.

Anyone think the Kings would be where they are right now if Holmes was still the starting center and Buddy was jacking threes? We’d be talking Tankathon and still looking at getting out of Fox’s deal.

Context is important.

Context, shmontext. The notion of such a trade was extremely short-sighted, and McNair had a plan beyond the last thirty games of a lost season.

And, even taking context into account, a lot of people thought it was a terrible idea then, and going forward. I don’t believe that context permits you to later include things you didn’t know then as an explanation. We all had the same information at that time, and that’s really the only context that matters.

Says the guy who would have kept Jimmer, Bagley, the Greek shit bag, the guy from Duke without any knees left, etc……

All because they were cool at the time. Win? Why?

I really didn’t see him missing this game. If there was ligament or tendon damage, he wouldn’t have been able to finish game 4 (or at least would have noticed that something was terribly wrong). With just a finger bone injury it’s usually a matter of how much pain you can deal with

It’s really just a question to me of how effective he can be. Shooting, ballhandling–those could definitely be affected, and in a series in which the margins are so fine, I can’t help but worry any struggles due to the injury could be the difference.

Oops.

Maybe Fox will grow an extra finger. Who could possibly stop a six-fingered point guard?

Probably not. He has to use his fingers and toes to count that high. That type of high order thinking is beyond him.

and it is harder for draymoron to target a little finger tip than it is to target two eyes or an abdomen.

we are going to have our very own Willis Reed moment.

Saw this on Twitter:
Mike Brown trying to play chess. Listing as doubtful is a disgrace

coach steve does this all the time, bro. Dud fan idiot. Kerr-plunk does this all the time, trying to be cute and all.
Fox injury- avulsion fracture of distal IP joint. Depending on the “side” of the avulsion- wither a “mallet finger” or a “jersey finger”.

Compare the demeanor of Fox + Davion + HB + Keegan + Huerter to stephie, klank, poodle and draymoron.
Kings have a bit of attitude with Monk and DS but that’s it.
Sometimes the quiet ones are the strongest, not the show offs.
Kings did show some inexperience and nerves but stephie was the one who called the time out with one left. Experience did his lame brain a lot of good. Probably wanted to run out to half court and dance. “Time for me to bust out a move”,
he thought.

If it were a mallet/jersey finger he wouldn’t be playing – I’ve had both those injuries and, uh, no way. From the way De’Aaron was describing it, it sounds more like a bone chip at the very tip.

Well, in Sacramento they say – De’Aaron Fox’s balls grew three sizes that day.

If the Kings win game 5 with Fox playing well with a broken finger, I want a sculpture of a giant bronze middle finger placed outside G1C facing west, directly at the city of San Francisco. The statue of Fox can go right next to it, since Fox will be a living legend at that point.
