Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Playing through left pinky injury
De'Aaron Fox said after Saturday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Raptors that he is playing through a ligament injury in his left pinky finger, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.Fox dislocated the finger during training camp, but he was able to play through the issue after X-rays came back negative. Despite the injury occurring on his dominant hand, it hasn't caused a major drop-off in Fox's efficiency from the field, as he's shooting 47.7 percent from the field through the first six games of the regular season. However, he went 0-for-11 from three-point range during Saturday's overtime loss and finished with 24 points, six rebounds, one assist and five steals over 43 minutes. Fox should continue to play through the issue when the Sacramento Kings return to action Monday in Miami.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Scores season-high 31 points
De'Aaron Fox closed Friday's 123-115 win over the Hawks with 31 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four steals in 37 minutes.Fox delivered a season-high scoring mark in this contest and also posted his best shooting line of the campaign, missing just five of his 16 attempts from the field. The star floor general is having an excellent season while sharing the court with two other high-usage players in Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan. His scoring numbers have experienced a slight decrease, which isn't surprising following the offseason addition of DeRozan, but his assists are up. Through five games, Fox is putting up 23.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Struggles beyond arc in loss
De'Aaron Fox compiled 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 117-114 loss to the Jazz.Fox logged a full complement of minutes Tuesday evening, and it appears that the arrival of DeMar DeRozan will have little effect on the point guard's bottom line. DeRozan is a great addition, but Coach Mike Brown still intends to keep Fox and Domantas Sabonis as the cornerstones of the offense. Although Fox declined a $165 million contract extension in the offseason, the move is intended to give him a better bargaining position next year.
