Fox, who's officially listed as doubtful with a broken index finger on his left hand, said Tuesday that he'll "most likely" play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Warriors, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox went through a non-contact practice Tuesday while wearing a splint to protect his broken finger, and he appears to have felt fine during the session. The point guard added that if he suffered a similar injury during the regular season, he likely would've sat out for a week or two, but given the playoff implications, he's going to give it a go, per Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento.

Fox went through a non-contact practice Tuesday while wearing a splint to protect the broken index finger on his left hand, Brenden Nunes of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox is officially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Warriors after injuring his shooting hand late in Game 4. The fact he's able to get shots up is an encouraging sign, but barring an upgrade to questionable or probable, it remains unlikely the point guard will be able to suit up. If Fox is ruled out, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk would be candidates for increased roles.

Fox (finger) has been added to the injury report as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was announced earlier in the day that Fox had sustained a fractured index finger on his left hand, so this news was expected. The team will provide additional updates on his status as they become available, per James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento.

Fox has suffered a fractured index finger on his left shooting hand and is expected to be doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox has been a force for the Kings to begin their playoff series against Golden State, averaging 31.5 points, 7.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 38.5 minutes per game over the first four postseason matchups. It appears unlikely that he'll be able to suit up as the Kings return to Sacramento on Wednesday, but if he's cleared to play, he'll need to wear a protective covering on his finger, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. If Fox is sidelined for Game 5, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk would likely see increased run.

Fox posted 38 points (14-31 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 126-125 loss to the Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Fox almost pulled out a miracle win Sunday, pouring in a game-high 38 points. He has been simply tremendous thus far during the playoffs but will need to keep his foot on the gas should the Kings hope to wrestle back the advantage during Wednesday's Game 5, which will be played in front of a vocal Sacramento crowd.

Fox won the Kia NBA 2022-23 Clutch Player of the Year award on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox was named the inaugural winner of the award after leading the Kings to the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, breaking Sacramento's 17-year playoff drought. He led the NBA in "clutch" scoring at 5.0 points per game. He shot 52.9 percent from the field when the scoring margin was within five points with five or fewer minutes remaining.

Fox had 24 points (10-23 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 114-106 victory over the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Fox struggled from deep all game long, but he sank a clutch three late in the fourth that ultimately sealed the Kings' Game 2 victory. The point guard also dished out a game-high nine assists and recorded at least three steals in back-to-back contests to start postseason play. If Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is forced to miss any time, Fox may have to elevate his game to another level when the series shifts to Golden State for Game 3 on Thursday.

Fox recorded 38 points (13-27 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-12 FT), one rebound, five assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 victory over the Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Fox shined as the Kings went up 1-0 against the 2022 champs. He showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that hampered him a week ago, shooting 48.1 percent from the floor and drilling four out of eight three-point attempts. Fox and the Kings are now firing on all cylinders with a pristine injury report.

Fox (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Fox did not play in Friday's matchup with a sore left ankle but is in line to return for Sunday's regular-season finale. However, with both Denver and Sacramento locked into their respective playoff seeds, Fox could play reduced minutes Sunday.

Fox (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings are opting to err on the side of caution with several starters with nagging injuries in order to get ready for the post-season. Davion Mitchell (knee) would be in line for a healthy workload if he ultimately gets the green light, while Keon Ellis also figures to see some extra run.
