Questionable Monday Fox (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Fox sat out Saturday against the Jazz due to a sore right hamstring, but he'll be in the mix to return for Monday's matchup. If he remains out, Davion Mitchell and Matthew Dellavedova should continue to see increased minutes for the Kings.

Won't play Saturday Fox (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Jazz, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Head coach Mike Brown described Fox's absence as a "simply a precaution."
Impact Going up against the struggling and injured Jazz, the Kings will give Fox an opportunity to rest his injured hamstring -- an injury he picked up during Friday's win over the Suns. In Fox's stead, look for Davion Mitchell to get the start, while Matthew Dellavedova should see some reserve minutes.

Questionable vs. Jazz Fox (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz.
Impact Fox exited Friday's win over the Suns after 21 minutes due to a hamstring injury, but he's avoided something severe and could play again as soon as Saturday. However, if he takes the game off, more minutes should be in store for Davion Mitchell, Matthew Dellavedova and Malik Monk.

Success-starved Kings close in on long-awaited playoff berth
The Sacramento Kings might just be riding the beam all the way to the NBA playoffsMARCH 23, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Modest production in loss Fox closed with 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and three assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Fox was stymied by Boston's defense and couldn't find any offensive rhythm. Coming into the contest, the lefty point guard had averaged 25.0 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals over his past seven appearances, so Fox should be a bounce-back candidate for Sacramento's next contest, which arrives Friday against the Suns.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Explodes for 37 points in loss Fox ended Monday's 128-120 loss to Utah with 37 points (14-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes.
Impact Fox reached the 30-point plateau for the third time over his last five outings, but with the Jazz limiting co-star Domantas Sabonis to 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting from the field, the Kings didn't have enough firepower to come away with a win on the road. The 37 points marked Fox's best total since Feb. 24, while the six triples were a new season high for the star point guard. Even though he remains a below-average perimeter shooter, Fox has made some strides in that regard in 2022-23, raising his percentage from beyond the arc to 34.1 percent after he converted on just 29.7 percent of those attempts a season ago.
