This resurgence in Sacramento has been led by Fox. He guided the Kings to their best third-place finish in almost 20 years and their first Playoff berth. The All-Star guard provided a significant update regarding his availability for the pivotal matchup just one night before Game 5.
Sacramento supporters' hearts skipped a beat before Game 5. The injury report gave the worst possible picture. De'Aaron Fox's left index finger was broken. There was a concern he would miss the pivotal Game 5 matchup against the Warriors because it is his shooting hand. But all it was was a minor concern for the fans. Fox believed there was no other option. The Kings star told the media that he is now playing and that there are no ifs, ands, or buts.
NBA Fans show Kawhi Leonard no mercy
De'Aaron Fox might have chosen to sit out and take care of his injuries, and that wouldn't have been improper. Additionally, a damaged finger can disrupt his rhythm the entire game. No injury, though, will be able to dampen Fox's spirit of competition. And the NBA fans were overjoyed to witness Fox's spirit of a warrior.
Fans said: “Kawhi would’ve sat out for 6 months until there’s zero pain”
