Fox tallied 25 points (9-21 FG, 0-5 3PT, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 116-115 preseason loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Fox mildly struggled with his shot during Wednesday's loss, but he's in the top echelon of point guards in the league and should be an early-round guard target in all fantasy draft formats. Coach Mike Brown is tinkering with the lineup in the preseason, but Kevin Huerter is still the odds-on favorite to line up alongside Fox in the backcourt.

Fox finished with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block across 26 minutes in Sunday's 121-115 preseason overtime loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Fox is getting the necessary reps to be ready for the postseason, and the electric point guard continues to show why he's one of the best point guards in the Western Conference, even if he plays on a limited basis as he has in the preseason. Fox will undoubtedly be one of the Kings' go-to players on offense by the time the regular season starts in late October alongside Domantas Sabonis.

Fox recorded two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one turnover in 16 minutes of Sunday's 112-99 preseason loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
No one in Sacramento's starting lineup played more than 16 minutes, as the Kings are presumably ramping everyone up slowly for the regular season. One disappointing showing for Fox in the preseason is nothing to worry about as he looks to shake off the rust following a quiet offseason.

Fox said in his exit interview Monday that he won't need surgery on his finger and should be fully healed in 2-to-3 weeks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fox fractured his left index finger in Game 4 of the opening-round series versus Golden State, but he was able to play through the issue and performed admirably despite losing two of the final three matchups. After suffering the injury, he posted 22.0 points and 8.7 assists over the final three games, but his efficiency waned as he shot just 38.7 percent from the field. The All-Star point guard should have a healthy offseason and will look to build off the Kings' encouraging 2022-23 campaign.

Fox recorded 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 118-99 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
EDGE Analysis
The star floor general was impressive and delivered another stellar outing to lead Sacramento to victory in a pivotal matchup, setting up a decisive Game 7 at home. Fox has been the best player for the Kings in the series by a wide margin, and even though this was his first double-double of the series, he has scored at least 24 points in every game so far.

Fox finished Wednesday's 123-116 loss to Golden State in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 24 points (9-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 42 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Fox thrived despite playing with a broken finger, and he made a significant impact in the contest after ending with 20-plus points for the fifth time in five games in the series thus far. Fox ended one assist away from a double-double, and he's averaging 30.0 points, 7.4 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game in the series so far. Game 6 will be played Friday at Chase Center.

Fox (finger) will play in Wednesday's Game 5 against Golden State, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fox was officially upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 after saying he would "most likely" play Tuesday. Considering he's dealing with a fractured left index finger and was initially listed as doubtful, Fox could very well not be at 100 percent for the contest while the injury could impact his ability to handle or shoot the ball. Regardless, he should still be considered a strong fantasy option as he has averaged 31.5 points, 7.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game in the series.

EDGE Analysis
Fox is dealing with a broken index finger on his left hand but said Tuesday that he'll "most likely" play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Warriors. He's officially questionable, but all signs point toward him suiting up Wednesday as Sacramento attempts to gain an advantage in the series.

Fox (finger) is questionable for Game 5 versus the Warriors on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fox has said that he'll be playing Wednesday, but the Kings are listing him as questionable with a left index finger fracture for the pivotal Game 5. While he is expected to be upgraded to available, it is unclear if he will play under any limitations.
