De'Aaron Fox News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Questionable for Friday Fox (knee) is questionable for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Fox sat out Wednesday's game due to the knee issue, which resulted in Davion Mitchell drawing the start, and he finished with five points, three assists, one rebound, one 3-pointer and one steal over 15 minutes. However, it was Chris Duarte who came through with the more impressive stat line in 26 minutes off the bench, as he ended his evening with 18 points, three rebounds, one assist, four triples, two steals and two swats. If Fox is forced to miss another game, Duarte would make sense as a deep-league streamer.

Won't play Wednesday Fox (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact With Fox watching from the sidelines Wednesday, there will be more opportunity for guys like Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte and Malik Monk. Expect Domantas Sabonis and Kevin Huerter to take on more playmaking responsibilities sans Fox, and Keegan Murray could see some more shots falling his way. For now, Fox should be considered questionable for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Fox landed on the injury report after bumping knees with a Heat player during Monday's loss. The point guard hasn't missed a game since Dec. 16 and is averaging 31.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.6 steals over his last five appearances.

Iffy against Denver Fox is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Fox bumped knees with a Heat player Monday and is in danger of missing Wednesday's contest. If the star guard is ruled out, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk are candidates to receive increased playing time.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Posts another solid line in loss Fox closed with 27 points (13-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Impact Fox continues to play at a high level and logged a full game despite a hard-fought win over the Clippers the previous evening. A victory against one of the league's best teams had to be taxing physically and emotionally, and the team ran out of gas late in the contest despite a valiant effort from the Kings' first unit.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Explodes for 33 points Fox totaled 33 points (12-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 win over the Clippers.

Impact The Kings are tough to beat when Fox and Domantas Sabonis turn in big totals, and Fox proved to be especially effective in all facets during the critical victory. The stellar point guard is on an incredible four-game tear, averaging 32.8 points, 7.5 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals over the span.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in 28 points Fox amassed 28 points (12-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 127-122 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Fox's shoulder injury showed no ill effects during Thursday's win as the Kings' floor general picked up where he left off after two excellent games before the break. Prior to his 40-point explosion against the Suns last week, Fox was toiling through a horrible slump where he averaged only 15.3 points and 5.8 assists over a four-game stretch, but he came back to life with big numbers against Denver and Phoenix. Fox will have the night off before meeting the Clippers on the road Sunday, giving his shoulder a chance to rest.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Fox (shoulder) isn't listed on the Kings injury report for Thursday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Fox said Tuesday that he had been battling a right shoulder injury recently, however, the injury will not have an impact on his availability for Thursday's game. With Domantas Sabonis (illness) doubtful to face the Spurs, Fox could see a spike in usage if Sabonis sits.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with minor shoulder issue Fox acknowledged Wednesday he's been dealing with a minor right shoulder injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Fox said he hasn't had an MRI yet because the pain hasn't been that serious yet, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried, but it's still something to monitor. The point guard has also dealt with lingering ankle soreness stemming from a sprain that caused him to miss five games at the beginning of the season, but he's missed only one game outside of that absence. After a minor shooting slump, Fox finished the first-half schedule strong, totaling 70 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists and five steals over Sacramento's final two games before the All-Star break.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Does it all in 40-point performance Fox ended Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns with 40 points (14-31 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in 40 minutes.

Impact Fox led all players in Tuesday's contest in scoring and threes made while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to go along with a half-dozen assists and a team-best trio of threes in an all-around showcase. Fox has surpassed the 40-point mark in six games this season, including in two of his last six contests. He hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total, a feat Fox has accomplished twice this year.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles from field Fox posted 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound and five assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Fox is a dynamic floor general who can takeover a game offensively in the blink of an eye, but that hasn't been the case of late, as he has gone four straight games without reaching the 20-point mark. The lack of scoring hasn't been enough to reduce his fantasy appeal, however, as Fox should bounce back sooner rather than later. During that aforementioned four-game stretch, Fox is averaging 15.3 points per game while shooting a mere 39.4 percent from the field.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Logs double-double with 10 assists Fox closed with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, 10 assists and five steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 135-106 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact It's hard to believe that Friday marked Fox's third double-double of the season, as one would expect the dynamic guard to hit the milestone with more frequency. Domantas Sabonis is the primary culprit, as he leads the team with 8.2 assists per game and caps Fox's distribution totals. Fox still leads the team with 26.6 points per game this season, and will continue to be a mist-start in all formats.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches 40 points to lead in win Fox totaled 41 points (13-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds, four assists and five steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Fox led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while added a game-best handful of steals and leading all scorers with a 40-point outing in a winning effort. Fox posted his fifth game of the year with 40 or more points, his first such performance since scoring 43 points on Dec. 26. He has now tallied five or more steals in three games.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Survives Dallas comeback Fox recorded 34 points (13-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Fox chipped in just five of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, as Dallas outscored Sacramento by 14 points in the frame. Nonetheless, Fox boomed for his 22nd game with at least 28 points -- a threshold he hit 31 times through 73 starts last year. Fox's scoring upside is at an all-time high.

Regresses in victory Fox ended Monday's 122-107 win over Atlanta with 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes.

Impact Fox was showing signs of fatigue after giving all he could during a four-game skid. The elite point guard couldn't find the bottom of the basket and went 0-for-5 beyond the arc, a rare occurrence for the proficient shooter. Fox is not immune to an occasional bad result, and Harrison Barnes was effective in picking up the slack this time around.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 33 points in epic loss Fox had 33 points (12-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Suns.

Impact Fox drained six threes and reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season, but his impressive outing was not enough, as the Kings had an epic meltdown in the final minutes and ended up losing a game they should've won by a sizable margin. Despite the team's struggles closing out games, Fox remains a top option at the point guard role in fantasy due to his all-around ability, and he's putting up 22.6 points, 4.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game since the start of January.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer in Friday's loss Fox totaled 21 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to the 76ers.

Impact It was a modest scoring total by Fox's standards, but it still led the Kings on a night when the Sixers' defense held the opposition to just 33.7 percent shooting from the floor. Fox is still delivering 27.7 points a game on the season, but he's failed to reach 25 in five of the last six contests, averaging 18.0 points, 4.3 assists, 2.8 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.2 steals during his downturn.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles mightily in blowout Fox chipped in three points (1-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 133-100 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The Kings lost by a whopping 33 points, and Domantas Sabonis was the only starter that had any real success. After a terrific showing in December, Fox has struggled in January and his performance Sunday was arguably his worst of the campaign. Over his last four games, Fox holds averages of 18.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 36.4 percent shooting from the field.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Big effort falls short Fox posted 30 points (11-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Fox led the Kings in scoring in the loss, putting up his third effort of at least 30 points over his past four games. Much of his production came in a 12-point fourth quarter, though his two turnovers and two missed shots over the final 45 seconds essentially sealed Sacramento's fate. Fox is in the midst of arguably his best NBA season, averaging 30.0 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 three-pointers and 1.7 steals through 26 contests.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 24 points Sunday Fox finished Sunday's 123-92 victory over the Grizzlies with 24 points (9-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 34 minutes.

Impact Fox needed 23 shots to score 24 points, and even though the star point guard wasn't at his best in terms of efficiency, he still delivered an impressive stat line. Fox has been one of the best point guards in the Western Conference over the last few weeks. He's averaging 29.3 points, 6.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game since the start of December.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Continues hot shooting in win Fox registered 31 points (10-20 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and four steals over 41 minutes in Friday's 117-110 win over the Hawks.

Impact Fox led the Kings in scoring for the third straight game and the fifth time in his last six games. He has shot 50.0 percent or better from the field in six of his last seven games and has gone 15-for-31 from beyond the arc over his last two contests. Fox is fifth in the NBA averaging a career-high 30.2 points along with 6.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds over 35.1 minutes per game this season.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 43 points Fox posted 43 points (16-26 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact One would expect a decisive win after a total like this from Fox, but the Kings fell to 17-12 despite a career game from the elite point guard. Fox produced his third-highest shot volume of the year and connected on 61.5 percent of his shots.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 23 points against PHX Fox notched 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over the Suns.

Impact Fox didn't have his best shooting performance Friday, but he didn't need to since Domantas Sabonis took over and led Sacramento to victory. Fox has been excellent for Sacramento recently, averaging 29.6 points and 6.4 assists per game over his last 10 contests.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team with 29 points in loss Fox produced 29 points (9-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 loss to Boston.

Impact Fox had a great outing but was unable to get the team to victory on his 26th birthday. Fox was the only bright spot for the Kings, as the rest of the starting five couldn't score, and the bench scored just 35 points in the blowout. That total would have been much lower had the Kings not emptied the bench in the final quarter. Fox will hope for more help from his supporting cast Friday against the Suns.
