Fox (ankle), who is officially doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, could return as early as Monday or Wednesday against the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Fox carries a doubtful tag on the Kings' initial injury report for Monday's matchup, he's had several encouraging updates recently that suggest he could suit up against Cleveland. After he was a full participant at Sunday's practice, Fox remained a full participant during Sacramento's morning shootaround Monday, so the team appears to be actively monitoring his health ahead of the 10 p.m. ET opening tip versus the Cavaliers. Fox has missed the last five games due to his sprained ankle, so he may face some sort of minutes restriction once he's ultimately cleared to return, be it Monday, Wednesday or later this week.
