Fox has commenced the new season on a fantastic note and is recognized as one of the NBA’s premier point guards. Consequently, his future condition holds great importance for the Kings.
Additional insights were shared following Mike Brown’s press conference, as reported by Frankie Cartoscelli of Sactown Sports 1140. According to Cartoscelli, “Mike Brown originally intended to substitute De’Aaron Fox, but Fox remained on the court. However, as the game progressed and Fox’s limp became more noticeable, Brown and the coaching staff decided to take him out. While there is no current update on Fox, it’s reasonable to assume that he will undergo medical evaluation.”
Furthermore, Sean Cunningham of FOX40 News informed that Fox would not be available for media interactions after the victory. Cunningham reported, “De’Aaron Fox will not be available to speak to the media tonight.”
