De'Aaron Fox Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Spurs vs L.A. Lakers game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 3, 2025
Nets 31 points with five dimes
Fox notched 31 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 114-112 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Unfortunately, Fox committed a season-high seven turnovers while he was out there and he failed to contribute any defensive stats, so it wasn't necessarily his best game. Still, Fox played a pivotal role in the win, and the Spurs have now won two straight and four of their past five.
Dec 3, 2025
Strikes for 29 in win over Grizz
Fox closed with 29 points (8-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
It's the seventh time in the last eight games that Fox has scored at least 25 points, as the Spurs' offense leans more heavily on the point guard while Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) remain sidelined. Over that stretch, Fox is averaging 26.5 points, 6.8 assists, 3.3 boards, 2.6 threes and 1,8 steals while shooting 40.4 percent from beyond the arc -- pushing his three-point accuracy on the season to a career-high 38.2 percent.
Dec 1, 2025
Hits for team-high 25 in loss
Fox supplied 25 points (10-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 125-112 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old point guard continues to carry the scoring load for the shorthanded Spurs. In the seven games Victor Wembanyama (calf) has been sidelined for -- the last six of which Stephon Castle (hip) has also missed -- Fox has scored at least 25 points six times, averaging 26.1 points, 7.1 assists, 3.1 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.6 steals while leading San Antonio to a 5-2 record.
Nov 29, 2025
Double-double against Nuggets
Fox closed Friday's 139-136 victory over Denver with 15 points (6-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was the third of the season for Fox in 10 games since making a belated 2025-26 debut due to a hamstring strain. The 27-year-old point guard has kept the Spurs' offense humming with both Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) sidelined, and during the five games both young stars have been out, Fox is averaging 26.0 points, 7.0 assists, 3.6 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.8 steals.
Nov 27, 2025
Scores team-high 37 points in win
Fox totaled 37 points (11-25 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 12-12 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-102 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Fox will be the Spurs' primary offensive weapon while Victor Wembanyama (calf) is out, and more usage also came his way due to Stephon Castle's (hip) absence. One should expect exemplary numbers while this injury scenario is in effect
Nov 24, 2025
Hits for game-high 26 in loss
Fox logged 26 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 14-16 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old point guard led all scorers on the night, but it wasn't enough to steal a road win in Phoenix. Fox has scored at least 24 points in five straight games as he anchors the offense in the absence of Victor Wembanyama (calf), and over that stretch he's averaged 26.0 points, 7.2 assists, 3.4 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor and 44.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Nov 20, 2025
Leads Spurs to win Thursday
Fox recorded 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 31 minutes in Thursday's 135-126 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Fox was one of three Spurs players to score at least 20 points, but he also dazzled as a playmaker. He's been doing a good job of shouldering most of the offensive load due to the absences of Victor Wembanyama (calf), Stephon Castle (hip) and Dylan Harper (calf). This was Fox's third straight game with 25-plus points, and the third time over the last four in which he's dished out nine or more assists.
Nov 18, 2025
Leads San Antonio in scoring
Fox ended Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Grizzlies with 26 points (10-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox was efficient from the field in this one, leading the way with 26 points by draining half of his attempts from the field. He wasn't as productive as he typically is distributing the basketball, considering he totaled 21 dimes over his last two matchups, but he made up for it with a solid defensive effort. The strong start to the 2025-26 campaign continues for Fox, who has now registered 20-plus points in five of his first six games.
Nov 16, 2025
Big double-double in Sunday's win
Fox totaled 28 points (11-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old point guard came up big with Victor Wembanyama (calf) sidelined, as Fox led the Spurs in scoring while setting a new season high in points and recording his second straight double-double. Fox has been productive in five games since making a belated season debut due to a strained hamstring, averaging 22.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.6 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.0 steals a contest.
Nov 15, 2025
Misses go-ahead jumper
Fox closed with 24 points (10-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 109-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Although Fox missed the most important shot of the game as time expired, his double-double was encouraging after a mediocre showing in the first game of the two-game set against the Warriors. Better numbers should be on the horizon for Fox as he gets up to speed, but he's averaged a respectable 20.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals over four games since his season debut.
Nov 13, 2025
Struggles with shot in loss
Fox finished Wednesday's 125-120 loss to the Warriors with 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Victor Wembanyama led the way for the Spurs with a 30-point triple-double, but Fox was unable to follow suit and struggled with his shot throughout the game, including going 1-for-5 from three-point range. The veteran floor general is going to have a few off nights here and there since he's just coming back from a hamstring injury, but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to one bad game. Fox will remain as the Spurs' starting floor general and arguably the team's second- or third-best option behind Wembanyama and maybe Stephon Castle.
Nov 9, 2025
Team-high 24 points in return
Fox produced 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Fox played his first game of the season after missing the first eight contests due to a hamstring injury. San Antonio was very cautious not to rush him back, allowing him ample time to heal. Consequently, he played without a minutes restriction and despite some early struggles, finished as the team's leading scorer. Barring any setbacks, expect to see him eclipse 30 minutes in the next game or two.
Nov 8, 2025
Starting Saturday
Fox (hamstring) will be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is set to make his regular-season debut, and while he won't have any official minutes restrictions, the Spurs are expected to be cautious with him in his first game back from a hamstring injury. Joining him in the first unit will be Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembenyama.
Nov 7, 2025
Set to make season debut Saturday
Fox (hamstring), who won't play in Friday's game against Houston, is expected to make his season debut in Saturday's contest against the Pelicans, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Although the star guard won't suit up Friday, he's in line to play on the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back Saturday. Fox has been recovering from a strained hamstring since training camp, so it's possible he'll have a minutes restriction against New Orleans. His return is likely to push Julian Champagnie from the starting lineup.
Nov 6, 2025
Ruled out for Friday
Fox (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game against Houston, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox's season debut will have to wait at least one more contest. The star guard's next possible return date comes Saturday against the Pelicans, though it's unclear how close he is to returning. Stephon Castle should continue to play a more pronounced role in the backcourt, with Keldon Johnson being an option for more playing time.
Nov 4, 2025
Another absence coming
Fox (hamstring) will not play Wednesday against the Lakers, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox continues to be ruled out of games a day in advance, which indicates he still has some hurdles to clear in his recovery. Consider him doubtful at best for Nov. 7 against the Rockets.
Nov 1, 2025
Remains out against Phoenix
Fox (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has yet to debut this season as he continues to rehab from his hamstring injury. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Lakers.
Oct 23, 2025
Won't play Friday
Fox (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will remain sidelined due to a hamstring injury. The next chance for the veteran guard to get back on the floor will be Sunday against the Nets. Stephon Castle, Jordan McLaughlin and Dylan Harper will continue to shoulder the load in the backcourt.
Oct 22, 2025
Officially ruled out for Wednesday
Fox (hamstring) is officially listed as out for Wednesday's season opener against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Fox is still rehabbing from his strained right hamstring. The star guard can be considered doubtful for future game action until the Spurs update his return timeline. It remains to be seen who'll replace Fox in the starting lineup, but rookie first-rounder Dylan Harper appears to be a prime candidate.
Oct 17, 2025
Remains doubtful for Opening Night
Fox (hamstring) remains doubtful for Opening Night on Oct. 2, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was able to do some scrimmaging at Friday's shootaround, but it sounds like the Spurs are bringing him along slowly. Fox has been battling this hamstring strain since the end of September and he's likely looking at an early-November return. In Fox's absence, the Spurs could lean on Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper in the early going.
Sep 29, 2025
Not expected for season opener
Fox (hamstring) told the media Monday that he does not expect to be ready for the start of the regular season, Spurs' broadcaster Jacob Tobey reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox, who also had surgery on his left pinkie finger March 13, is participating in basketball activity and feeling good, though the team remains cautious with a right hamstring issue. It isn't expected to be a long-term concern, but signs point to him missing some time early in the season, potentially giving rookie Dylan Harper or veteran Jordan McLaughlin added opportunities in the backcourt.
Aug 4, 2025
Agrees to sign four-year extension
Fox (finger) has agreed to sign a four-year, $229 million maximum contract extension with the Spurs, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal is set to keep Fox with San Antonio through the 2029-30 campaign. The Spurs acquired the star floor general ahead of this past February's trade deadline, and he's in line to be a key two-way presence in the team's backcourt for the foreseeable future. It's unclear how far along Fox is during his recovery from his finger surgery back in March, but it's possible he'll be ready in time for training camp this fall.
Mar 13, 2025
Undergoing season-ending surgery
Fox will undergo season-ending surgery to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie finger Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox had told reporters in early November (while playing for the Kings) that he was playing through a ligament injury in his left pinky finger. It didn't appear to bother him too much as he only missed four games due to a right thumb sprain and after being traded by Sacramento to San Antonio in early February, but the injury appears to have become severe enough for him to warrant surgery. Fox will end the 2024-25 regular season averaging 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 36.1 minutes per game while shooting 46.3 percent from the field (including 31.0 percent from three on 6.1 3PA/G). Stephon Castle -- who was moved to the bench following the acquisition of Fox -- is the likely candidate to enter the Spurs' starting five in the backcourt alongside Chris Paul, and Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson stand to see more playing time for the rest of the season.
Mar 13, 2025
Leads all scorers with 32 points
Fox ended with 32 points (12-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored a game-high 32 points, the most he has scored since arriving in San Antonio prior to the trade deadline. Although a season-ending health score for Victor Wembanyama has set the Spurs back a little when it comes to their timeline, Fox has been able to deliver serviceable production on most nights. Over the past 14 games, he is averaging 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.
Mar 10, 2025
Pops for team-high 22 in loss
Fox had a team-high 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 141-124 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
The four made threes represented his best performance from beyond the arc as a member of the Spurs. Fox's numbers have drooped a bit since the trade, and being the focal point of the offense in the absence of Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) hasn't improved matters. Over 10 games since Wemby was lost for the season, Fox has averaged 18.1 points, 5.8 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.7 threes and 1.5 steals, but he's shooting just 41.4 percent from the floor and 27.0 percent from long distance.
Mar 8, 2025
Struggles against former team
Fox accumulated 16 points (6-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 127-109 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Fox was certainly motivated to post a big number against his former team, but things did not go as planned. He failed to connect beyond the arc and posted subpar numbers in the loss. The Spurs won't make the playoffs and are a bit lost without Victor Wembanyama (shoulder). They are 3-7 over the past 10 games with no signs of improving, making Fox a less desirable fantasy target compared to his value with the Kings.
Mar 2, 2025
Sinks game-winning shot
Fox totaled 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 130-128 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox iced the game for the Spurs in the final seconds of the fourth quarter after icing the winning shot with a mid-range jumper. The former Kings floor general has adjusted well to life in San Antonio and is thriving alongside Chris Paul in the backcourt. Fox is averaging 19.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game since joining the Spurs.
Feb 27, 2025
Rough night against Houston defense
Fox ended with seven points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 118-106 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
It was a brutal game for the Spurs, as they were down by 26 heading into the fourth quarter and no one in the team's starting five managed to score in double digits. For his part, the seven points represented Fox's worst performance since being acquired by San Antonio, and just the second time in 10 games for his new club that he's failed to score in double digits. The 27-year-old guard has been struggling to get his shot off as defenses adjust to not having Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) to worry about -- over the last three contests, Fox has averaged just 11.7 points, 5.7 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.3 steals, 1.0 threes and 0.7 blocks while shooting a woeful 24.5 percent from the floor and 14.3 percent (3-for-21) from long distance.
Feb 25, 2025
Ties season-high mark in defeat
Fox closed Tuesday's 109-103 loss to the Pelicans with 15 points (6-21 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine assists, six steals and three rebounds in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled from the field once again, and over his last five outings, he has shot 42.2 percent from the field and only 27.3 percent from three-point range. However, the 27-year-old tied his season-high mark in steals, and he has racked up 22 outings with multiple steals through 54 regular-season appearances. Additionally, the star guard recorded nine or more assists for the 11th time this season.
Feb 22, 2025
Drops 27 against Detroit
Fox contributed 27 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and four steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 125-110 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
It was another big performance from Fox in the wake of a season-ending shoulder issue for Victor Wembanyama, but unlike Thursday's win over the Suns, the 27-year-old guard got almost no help -- the rest of the Spurs' starting lineup managed a combined 11 points. Fox has scored 20-plus points in seven of eight February appearances, averaging 22.6 points, 6.9 assists, 4.4 boards, 2.0 steals and 1.9 threes on the month while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.
Feb 21, 2025
Takes charge without Wemby
Fox accumulated 26 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs got a gut-punch earlier Thursday when Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) was ruled out for the rest of the season, but Fox stepped up and kept the team on course, scoring 11 straight points late in the fourth quarter to put the game away. The 27-year-old guard has scored more than 20 points in five of his first six appearances for San Antonio, averaging 22.3 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.8 steals and 1.5 threes for his new club, but Fox's usage figures to rise significantly without Wembanyama on the court alongside him.
Feb 12, 2025
Team-high 23 points vs. Celtics
Fox finished Wednesday's 116-103 loss to Boston with 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists and three rebounds over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox did most of his scoring within the arc Wednesday as he led the Spurs in scoring. The eighth-year floor general has scored at least 22 points in four of his five outings since being traded to the Spurs, and over that span he has averaged 21.6 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 7.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 35.8 minutes per game. The All-Star break presents Fox the chance to get more acclimated to San Antonio and get more comfortable with the Spurs' game plan.
Feb 10, 2025
Drops 30 points in victory
Fox totaled 30 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 15-18 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 131-121 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox did exactly half of his scoring from the charity stripe Monday, marking season highs in both free-throw attempts and makes. This was an impressive bounce-back performance from the Kentucky product, who had been held to nine points in 34 minutes Saturday against the Magic. It was also a great sign that both Fox and Victor Wembanyama scored 30-plus points, which only demonstrates further that both stars can produce at a high level since joining forces.
Feb 6, 2025
Hands out 13 dimes in SA debut
Fox registered 24 points (11-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, 13 assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 126-125 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have his best shooting performance from beyond the arc, but other than that, he played a prominent role for the Spurs in this tight win and excelled as a playmaker. The partnership Fox can form with Victor Wembanyama could be massive for the Spurs, and while one game isn't enough to draw any significant conclusions, all signs point to Fox remaining the same offensive force he was during his Sacramento days.
Feb 4, 2025
Available to play Wednesday
Fox (recently traded) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The star point guard was acquired by the Spurs in the three-team trade that sent Zach LaVine to the Kings on Saturday, and he'll be available to make his Spurs debut Wednesday. The addition of Fox means that Chris Paul (finger) will likely slide to the bench, with rookie Stephon Castle expected to start alongside Fox in the backcourt. The 27-year-old averaged 19.1 points, 6.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 35.8 minutes per contest in his last 10 outings with the Kings.
Feb 4, 2025
Iffy to make Spurs debut Wednesday
Fox (recently traded) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs acquired the star point guard in a three-team trade Sunday, and he could make his debut Wednesday after missing Monday's game against Memphis. Over his last 10 outings with the Kings, Fox had averaged 19.1 points, 6.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 35.8 minutes per contest.
Feb 3, 2025
Won't debut Monday
Fox (not injury related) won't make his Spurs debut Monday against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox was dealt from the Kings to the Spurs less than 24 hours ago, so he's still making his way to his new team. His next opportunity to debut will arrive Wednesday in Atlanta.
Feb 2, 2025
Traded to San Antonio
Per Shams Charania of ESPN on Sunday, the Kings are finalizing a trade that will send Fox to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The full trade details are yet to be released, but Charania relays that it's a three team trade involving the Kings, Spurs and Bulls that will revolve around Fox going to San Antonio and Zach LaVine moving to Sacramento. Charania reported this past Tuesday that the Kings had opened up talks to trade Fox, and the All-Star guard will now be heading to San Antonio to pair up with superstar center Victor Wembanyama.
Feb 1, 2025
Team-high 20 points Saturday
Fox produced 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 144-110 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Fox led the team with 20 points, but it wasn't nearly enough for a win in Saturday's rout. Over his last 10 contests, the star guard has averaged 19.1 points, 6.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers per game. Fox's future with Sacramento remains up in the air while his name circulates around trade rumors, but he continues to put up steady numbers for the Kings.
Jan 28, 2025
Kings could move him
The Kings are expected to "open up talks to potentially deal" Fox ahead of Feb. 6 trade deadline, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
There hasn't been much noise on the trade front for Fox since the Kings replaced coach Mike Brown with Doug Christie, but things could heat up quickly following this report. Charania notes that it's believed that Fox has a "destination in mind" ahead of his free agency in 2026, so while he will have plenty of suitors, Fox could gain some leverage if it becomes known which team he's desiring to join. Depending on what the Kings could get in return for Fox, a trade could open things up for guys such as Malik Monk, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter from a fantasy perspective.
Jan 25, 2025
Will play against New York
Fox (thumb) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Fox had a shaky status ahead of Saturday's game in New York, but he will play through against the Knicks. The star point guard is having another stellar season for the Kings, averaging 25.4 points, 6.2 assists and a career-high 5.1 rebounds per game, shooting 47 percent from the floor and 31.7 percent from deep.
Jan 25, 2025
Goes through shootaround
Fox (thumb) participated in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is officially listed as questionable Saturday due to a sprained right thumb. However, the star guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against New York.
Jan 24, 2025
Deemed questionable for Saturday
Fox is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks due to a right thumb sprain.
ANALYSIS
The thumb injury is a new development for Fox, who posted 17 points (7-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Nuggets. Over his last five outings, the star guard has averaged 16.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting only 32.2 percent from the field in 37.8 minutes per contest. If Fox is sidelined, Keon Ellis and Devin Carter should both see an uptick in playing time.
Jan 24, 2025
Shooting woes continue in loss
Fox had 17 points (7-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled from the field once again, and he has went through a rough stretch scoring the rock of late. The star guard has shot only 32.2 percent from the floor over his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 16.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks in 37.8 minutes per contest. Fox has reached 20-plus points only one time in that inefficient five-game span, though he has still stuffed the stat sheet, which is encouraging for fantasy managers.
Jan 15, 2025
Logs double-double with 11 boards
Fox provided 20 points (9-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Fox usually hits the double-double milestone via a high assist total, but Fox achieved the point-rebound double-double for the second time this season during Tuesday's defeat. Although Fox is enjoying some of the best numbers of his eight-year career, he's only recorded six double-doubles, which is surprising considering his voluminous production.
Jan 12, 2025
Scores efficiently in return
Fox (glute) recorded 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 33 minutes in Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
In his return from a three-game absence due to a bruised right glute, Fox ceded more of the distribution responsibilities to backcourt mate Malik Monk (team-high nine assists), but Fox made up for the atypically low assist count by displaying some rare hot shooting from three-point land. Considering Fox came into the contest converting only 32.1 percent of his three-point attempts on the season, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him providing more than one or two triples in most contests, but more importantly, the 27-year-old guard looked healthy and composed in his return to the court. Managers can feel safe in rolling out Fox for the Kings' upcoming three-game week.
Jan 12, 2025
Will return Sunday
Fox (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a three-game absence due to a right glute contusion. Fox's return will send Keon Ellis back to the bench, while Malik Monk's usage will take a hit. Before the injury, Fox scored at least 23 points in nine straight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.6 minutes a night during that stretch.
Jan 11, 2025
Questionable to play Sunday
Fox (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed the Kings' last three games due to a right glute contusion. He was able to participate in the Kings' shootaround before Friday's game against the Celtics, but he wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery to play. Keon Ellis would remain in the starting lineup and Malik Monk would continue to see a larger role on offense if Fox is unable to play Sunday.
Jan 10, 2025
Slated to miss another contest
Fox (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Despite participating during Friday's morning shootaround, Fox has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a third straight game. Keon Ellis should draw another start in Fox's absence, while Kevin Huerter and Devin Carter will also see additional minutes. However, Malik Monk has been the primary beneficiary thus far, averaging 26.7 points, 8.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 37.0 minutes over his last three appearances. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Sunday in Chicago.
Jan 10, 2025
Active during shootaround Friday
Fox, who is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics with a right glute contusion, participated in the team's morning shootaround, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox's ability to participate in shootaround bodes well for his status after a two-game absence due to the glute injury. If the star point guard remains sidelined for a third consecutive outing, Keon Ellis should remain in the starting five, though Devin Carter and Kevin Huerter are candidates for a bump in minutes off the bench. Over his last five outings, Fox has averaged 29.2 points, 6.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 38.0 minutes per game.
Jan 9, 2025
Questionable against Boston
Fox (glute) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed two straight games for the Kings and could be on track to miss a third. Even though Sacramento has struggled this season, Fox has been playing at a high level, averaging a career-high 26.7 points with 4.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game. If he's unable to play against Boston, Malik Monk could shoulder the load in the backcourt.
Jan 8, 2025
Goes through practice
Fox (hip) was spotted going through Wednesday's practice, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings haven't released an update on Fox after he missed the past two games, but his availability at Wednesday's practice is a good sign. The Kings are off until Friday against the Celtics, so Fox's fantasy managers can be optimistic about his chances of playing.
Jan 6, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Fox (hip) will not play Monday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Sunday's game against the Warriors was Fox's first absence of the season, but now he'll end up missing both games of this back-to-back set. The Kings are off until Jan. 10 after Monday's game, and fantasy managers should consider him questionable for that contest. As for Monday, Malik Monk will soak up more usage, while Keon Ellis and Devin Carter are likely to see extended minutes in the backcourt.
Jan 5, 2025
Officially ruled out
Fox (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Fox has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first game of the season. In his absence, Keon Ellis should move into the starting lineup, while Malik Monk handles increased usage. Rookie Devin Carter, who recently made his NBA debut, could also be a larger factor in the rotation against Golden State. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Monday against Miami.
Jan 4, 2025
Unlikely to play Sunday
Fox is unlikely to play Sunday against the Warriors due to a right glute contusion, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been feeling some glute soreness after taking a fall in the win over the Grizzlies on Friday and is expected to be listed as doubtful. That said, his chances of playing are unlikely, especially since the Kings aren't expected to take risks with their star floor general. If that's the case, look for Malik Monk, Devin Carter and Keon Ellis to handle expanded roles in the backcourt.
Jan 2, 2025
Extremely efficient Wednesday
Fox ended with 35 points (13-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Fox had one of the most efficient shooting performances of his career after missing just three of his 16 shots en route to surpassing the 30-point plateau for the third time over his last six appearances. He's been turning things around following a rough patch in early December. The star floor general is averaging 29.5 points, 6.7 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor across his last six outings.
Dec 31, 2024
Hits for 33 points in win
Fox closed with 33 points (13-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-100 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox logged his third-highest scoring total of the year, completing a diverse line during interim coach Doug Christie's first win. It was important for the Kings to snap the five-game skid, and there are too many fantasy -worthy pieces on this roster to keep them down for long. Fox is on pace for a career year in his eighth season. Despite the recent losing streak, Fox was excellent during the five-game stretch, averaging 28.4 points, 7.2 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals.
Dec 29, 2024
Complete performance in loss
Fox contributed 29 points (12-25 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and four steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 132-122 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox established a new season-high mark in assists Saturday and recorded his fourth double-double of the season. The Kings often employ Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and DeMar DeRozan in the playmaking duties, but Fox remains the de facto floor general. This was the team's first game under interim head coach Doug Christie, but if Fox has a bigger responsibility in the playmaking department, that could translate to an uptick in his assists per game.
Dec 27, 2024
Hits for 26 points in loss
Fox had 26 points (11-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Even though Fox only converted 44 percent of his shots in the loss, it's hard to complain about the elite guard's recent production. He's enjoyed a superb five-game run, averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds over the span. His recent three-point results have been a bit disappointing, but he's still delivering as a multi-category contributor with significant upside.
Dec 23, 2024
Drops game-high 23 in loss
Fox provided 23 points (7-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old guard led all scorers on the night, but it wasn't enough to overcome a balanced Indiana attack that saw seven different Pacers score in double digits. Fox has dished at least five assists in seven straight games, averaging 24.3 points, 7.3 dimes, 4.7 boards, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch, but he hasn't posted those kind of distribution numbers over a full season since 2020-21.
Dec 22, 2024
Leads offensively in defeat
Fox totaled 31 points (12-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox led the way for Sacramento on the offensive end of the floor Saturday, leading all players in scoring and threes made while ending second on the team in assists in a well-rounded showing. Fox has surpassed the 30-point mark in six outings this season, adding at least five assists in four of those outings.
Dec 20, 2024
Posts team-high 26 points in loss
Fox had 26 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds, five assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
There's little reason to blame Fox for the defeat, as he was vey effective on both sides of the ball while turning in another excellent line. Fox is on pace to produce the best season of his career, as he's currently besting previous season averages in rebounds, assists and field goal percentage. His only drop-off is his proficiency from downtown, where he's only converting at a 32.6 percent clip.
Dec 17, 2024
Puts up 29 points Monday
Fox closed with 29 points (11-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block in 39 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Fox snapped a seven-game stretch in which he didn't reach the 25-point mark, and this was the first time he accomplished that feat since Nov. 27 in a 115-104 win over the Timberwolves. The star floor general continues to find ways to impact the game even when he's not carrying the offense, though the Kings also have DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and even Malik Monk to pick up the slack at times offensively. Fox is averaging 21.9 points, 7.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game since the beginning of December, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly worried even if he goes through a down stretch.
Dec 13, 2024
Full line despite poor shooting
Fox accumulated 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have his best shooting performance and finished with more field goal attempts than points scored. However, that could very well end up being overlooked when analyzing his full line, as he finished just two dimes and three boards away from a triple-double. Fox can take over offensively on any given game for the Kings, but he remains valuable in fantasy even in games where he takes a step back to the likes of Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan. Fox is averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of December.
Dec 9, 2024
Sniffs double-double
Fox posted 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
While it'd be unfair to say Fox is going through a cold stretch, he's certainly not putting up the same numbers he delivered in the early stages of the season. He's gone six straight games without scoring more than 23 points, but he's still averaging 21.3 points, 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor in that span.
Nov 30, 2024
Hits for 22 in loss
Fox produced 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 115-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old point guard put the finishing touches on a strong November that saw him score more than 20 points in 15 of 16 games, averaging 29.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.6 steals on the month while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor. Fox has averaged more than 20 points a game in each of the five previous seasons, but the addition of DeMar DeRozan (back) to the Kings' lineup has created some extra space for him -- Fox's 27.7 PPG so far in 2024-25 would be a career high.
Nov 28, 2024
Bounces back in near triple-double
Fox accumulated 26 points (10-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
After scoring a season-low 14 points in Monday's loss to the Thunder, Fox wasted little time getting right back on track by flirting with a triple-double in Wednesday's win over Minnesota. Since the calendar flipped to November, Fox is averaging an outstanding 29.7 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 38.3 minutes per game across 10 outings. The 26-year-old star guard is taking on more responsibility on offense in the void of star wing DeMar DeRozan (back), and he should continue returning enhanced fantasy value if that absence extends into Friday's matchup in Portland.
Nov 26, 2024
Crashes down to earth Monday
Fox logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 130-109 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Fox finally saw his impressive scoring streak end Monday, posting a season-low scoring mark and needing 14 field-goal attempts to score 14 points. Despite this subpar outing, which was bound to happen given his recent numbers, Fox remains one of the most productive point guards in the Western Conference from a fantasy perspective. He's averaging 31.6 points per game over his last 10 games, a span in which he's also putting up 6.1 dimes per contest while shooting 53.5 percent from the floor.
Nov 25, 2024
Scores 31 points Sunday
Fox provided 31 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Fox was efficient as a scorer and eclipsed the 31-point mark for the third time over his last five outings. Furthermore, the star floor general has scored at least 28 points in six straight contests. He's been one of the most productive guards in The Association regardless of the format over the last two weeks, and fantasy managers are certainly reaping the benefits of his production. Fox is averaging a career-high 28.9 points per game through 17 appearances this season.
Nov 23, 2024
Drops game-high 29 in loss
Fox accumulated 29 points (10-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Friday's 104-88 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old point guard continues his torrid November pace. Fox has scored better than 20 points in every game this month, averaging 31.3 points, 5.3 boards, 5.2 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.8 steals through 12 contests while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor.
Nov 19, 2024
Extends impressive streak
Fox amassed 28 points (11-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Fox has surpassed the 20-point mark in all but two of his appearances this season, and the star floor general has been one of the hottest players in the league in recent days thanks to four consecutive appearances with 28 or more points. During that stretch, Fox is averaging 41.5 points per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the field on 26.3 attempts per game. That's not sustainable in the long run, but the Kings should continue to ride Fox's hot hand with DeMar DeRozan (back) and Domantas Sabonis (back) sidelined.
Nov 17, 2024
Keeps rolling in victory
Fox had 49 points (16-30 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 14-19 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Fox kept humming on all cylinders following his stellar 60-point showing against the Timberwolves. He's taken a whopping 65 shot attempts over the past two games and has been given license to turn it loose in the offense, which has been slightly short-handed amid DeMar DeRozan's (back) absence. DeRozan's offensive output has taken the pressure off of Fox and Domantas Sabonis to ball out every night, and the significant increase from Fox is partly due to the missing production at the wing. Fox's numbers will flatten out once DeRozan returns, but he's currently on an amazing run.
Nov 16, 2024
Explodes for 60 points Friday
Fox recorded 60 points (22-35 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block over 44 minutes in Friday's 130-126 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Fox broke the Kings' franchise record for most points in a single game Friday that was previously held by Jack Twyman (59) from the 1959-60 regular season. Fox made clutch basket after clutch basket, and he scored 33 of his 60 points in the second half, which helped the Kings force overtime after being down by as many as 20 points. He's now averaging 27.3 points on 50.6 percent shooting, 5.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 37.5 minutes per game to star the 2024-25 regular season. Fox and the Kings will look to get back in the win column Saturday against the Jazz.
Nov 14, 2024
Dominant double-double in win
Fox registered 29 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox started out hot with four converted field goals before finally missing his first shot in the second quarter, helping Sacramento seal the deal against the short-handed Suns. The Kings also beat the Suns last Sunday, where Fox also recorded a double-double. with 11 rebounds.
Nov 12, 2024
Leads team with 24 points
Fox had 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 116-96 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Fox has scored 20 or more points in nine of 11 games this season, and while he's converting 47.3 percent of his shots, his three-point conversion rate of 28.2 percent leaves a bit to be desired. He's also underperforming with an average of 4.7 assists.
Nov 9, 2024
Strikes for 31 in loss
Fox closed with 31 points (12-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 107-98 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old guard tied his season high in scoring while draining multiple threes for the sixth time in nine contests to begin the campaign. Fox has seen his shot volume decline slightly as the Kings work DeMar DeRozan into the offense, but he's still averaging 24.6 points, 4.6 boards, 4.6 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.9 steals a game.
Nov 5, 2024
Dazzles in win over Miami
Fox closed Monday's 111-110 win over the Heat with 28 points (11-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox is believed to be playing under a minor pinky injury, but the ailment hasn't bothered the star floor general thus far. Even though Fox opened the 2024-25 season with a subpar (for his standards) showing, he's been his usual dominant self overall, surpassing the 20-point mark in all but one of his last seven contests while averaging 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game in that span.
Nov 2, 2024
Playing through left pinky injury
Fox told reporters after Saturday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Raptors that he is playing through a ligament injury in his left pinky finger, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox dislocated his left pinky finger during training camp, but he was able to play through the issue after X-rays came back negative. Despite the injury occurring on his dominant hand, it hasn't caused a major drop off in Fox's efficiency from the field, as he's shooting 47.7 percent from the field through the first six games of the regular season. However, he did go 0-for-11 from three-point range during Saturday's overtime loss and finished with 24 points, six rebounds, one assist and five steals over 43 minutes.
Nov 2, 2024
Scores season-high 31 points
Fox closed Friday's 123-115 win over the Hawks with 31 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four steals in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox delivered a season-high scoring mark in this contest and also posted his best shooting line of the campaign, missing just five of his 16 attempts from the field. The star floor general is having an excellent season while sharing the court with two other high-usage players in Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan. His scoring numbers have experienced a slight decrease, which is completely normal following the offseason addition of DeRozan, but his assists are up. Through five games, Fox is putting up 23.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.
Oct 30, 2024
Improved shooting display
Fox had 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off surpassing the 10,000-point mark for his career in the 111-98 win over the Trail Blazers on Monday, Fox delivered another solid showing in the second half of a back-to-back set. Even though he couldn't reach the 20-point plateau for a third straight game, at least he showed more efficiency with his shooting, and this was the first time he made more than 50 percent of his field goals. Through four outings in 2024-25, Fox is averaging 21.5 points, 7.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 46.4 percent from the field and a meager 29.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Oct 29, 2024
Game-high 24 points in victory
Fox accumulated 24 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 111-98 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Fox tallied a game-high 24 points while racking up two steals for the second consecutive matchup. However, the All-Star struggled from three-point range, and he is currently shooting 6-for-22 from beyond the arc on the season. Over three regular-season outings, the 26-year-old has averaged 22.3 points, 8.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 37.7 minutes per game.
Oct 27, 2024
Records double-double in loss
Fox registered 28 points (9-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox notched another excellent assist total, but his shot volume kicked in during the narrow loss. He nearly doubled the point total from his first game, delivering a result we'll see countless times during the season. The addition of DeMar DeRozan gives Fox another excellent assist source to pad his totals.
Oct 23, 2024
Good to go for opener
Fox (rest) is absent from the injury report for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Sacramento rested Fox in its preseason finale and, as expected, the point guard will be active to start the regular season. Fox averaged 26.6 points, 5.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game last season but it's unclear how the acquisition of DeMar DeRozan will impact Fox's usage rate.
Oct 17, 2024
Inactive Thursday
Fox won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Clippers for rest purposes, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings will sit Fox down for the preseason finale in an effort to ensure he begins the regular season fully rested. Malik Monk (hand) is also out Thursday, so it'll be up to Jordan McLaughlin, Keon Ellis and Colby Jones to eat up minutes in the backcourt.
Oct 16, 2024
Struggles beyond the arc in loss
Fox compiled 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 117-114 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fox logged a full evening of work Tuesday evening, and it appears that the arrival of DeMar DeRozan will have little effect on the point guard's bottom line. DeRozan is a great addition, but Coach Mike Brown still intends to keep Fox and Domantas Sabonis as the cornerstones of the offense. Although Fox declined a $165 million contract extension in the offseason, the move is intended to give him a better bargaining position next year.
Oct 14, 2024
Logs 28 minutes Sunday
Fox recorded 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals across 28 minutes in Sunday's 108-85 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Kings played their projected starters between 28 and 30 minutes, and even though Sacramento looked overmatched at times, there shouldn't be any notable changes in the rotation, let alone the starting unit, before the regular-season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 24. Fox had one of the best years of his career in 2023-24 after averaging career-high marks in several categories such as points (26.6), rebounds (4.6) and steals (2.0) per game.
Oct 12, 2024
Drops team-high 19 on Friday
Fox scored 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 Ft) while adding six rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Friday's 109-106 preseason loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old guard led the Kings in scoring and three-pointers on the night as every member of the starting five dropped at least 12 points. Fox appears to be adjusting quickly to working alongside DeMar DeRozan, and after setting career highs in 2023-24 in points (26.6), boards (4.6), threes (2.9) and steals (2.0) per game, he needs only stay healthy to put together another impressive campaign.
Oct 10, 2024
Goes for 11 points in loss
Fox compiled 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 122-112 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Fox will be able to focus more on ball distribution with DeMar DeRozan at the wing. Fox's output has been necessary to keep the Kings competitive, but DeRozan's addition will ease the pressure on Fox to force low-percentage shots and instead focus on moving the ball around more frequently.
Apr 20, 2024
Carries Sacramento to playoff berth
Fox notched 35 points (12-29 FG, 4-16 3Pt, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Fox came through when the Kings needed him the most, and the star floor general sparked the team's second half comeback to secure a playoff berth -- and a matchup against the Thunder in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Even though Domantas Sabonis will make an impact on offense and Keegan Murray can be a valuable contributor in the scoring column, the Kings will live and die by Fox's performances, and they will go as far as the star guard can carry them. To note, Fox surpassed the 30-point plateau in two of his three appearances against the Thunder in the regular season.
Apr 15, 2024
Turns in 24 points
Fox notched 24 points (10-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-82 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Kings beat the Trail Blazers without much difficulty, and Fox took a seat for good at the end of the third quarter. He started off the game on a tear with four consecutive shots, and he would have probably ended with a much higher number if the team had kept the starters on the floor. Fox will need to produce at his best to get out of the play-in bracket, and he'll face the Warriors first. Fox logged 29 points and five assists in his most recent game against Golden State.
Apr 12, 2024
Stellar with 33 points in loss
Fox ended with 33 points (11-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Thursday's loss forced the Kings into a play-in spot, but Fox has scored 33 points in two consecutive performances and is getting hot just in time for the playoffs. Fox and Domantas Sabonis need more help from the supporting cast to increase the Kings' chances for success, but the Kentucky product has the potential to outplay any point guard in the Western Conference
Apr 8, 2024
Hits for 20 in Sunday's win
Fox provided 20 points (8-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-77 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old guard is having a strong finish to the regular season as the Kings try to secure a playoff spot and avoid the Play-In Tournament. Fox has scored 20 or more points in six straight games and 14 of the last 15, and he's averaged 24.4 points, 5.9 assists, 5.7 boards, 3.2 threes and 2.3 steals over the latter stretch.
Apr 6, 2024
Pours in game-high 40 points
Fox provided 40 points (16-29 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 44 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Fox almost single-handedly carried the Kings to victory, scoring almost half the teams' total points. Despite a few ups and downs, it's been a fantastic season for Fox, putting up second-round value in standard formats. He has turned himself into a viable two-way threat and should be viewed as a top-30 asset heading into the 2024-25 season.
Apr 5, 2024
Shines despite loss to New York
Fox posted 29 points (11-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Fox might have needed 26 shots to score 29 points, but it's not like he wasn't efficient, and he also chipped in admirably in other categories, such as rebounds, assists and steals. A true all-around floor general who's embracing an even more significant role on offense with the loss of Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder), Fox will continue playing a prominent role for a Kings team that's looking to end the regular season with a highest-possible seeding in the Western Conference. On that note, Fox has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his last 13 appearances.
Apr 1, 2024
Logs double-double with 12 assists
Fox ended with 24 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fox got back into double-double territory in a much-needed win. Fox endured some ups and downs in March, but he still managed an average of 24.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals over 15 games during the month.
Mar 30, 2024
Will see minutes increase
Fox is expected to play increased minutes down the stretch of the regular season as the Kings fight for their playoff seeding, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings enter Saturday's action in eighth place in the Western Conference, two games behind the sixth-placed Mavericks but only four games ahead of a red-hot Rockets team that sit in 11th place but have won 11 contests in a row. The Kings will push to secure a direct playoff berth and avoid the Play-In Tournament, and for that to happen, Fox needs to spend as much as possible on the court. Fox has been averaging 35.9 minutes per game since the beginning of March, and don't be surprised if that figure rises to around the 40 minutes-per-game mark.
Mar 27, 2024
Tepid in blowout loss
Fox amassed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled with his shot against the Mavericks, who had the right defensive formula to contain the Kings' offensive attack. During the first half, Luke Doncic floated to where he was most needed and pestered Fox during the first two quarters. Fox was also ineffective in the fourth quarter without Doncic's involvement as he failed to score over six minutes in the final stanza.
Mar 22, 2024
Drops team-high 25 in loss
Fox racked up a team-high 25 points (10-30 FG, 5-15 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and six steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 109-102 loss to Washington.
ANALYSIS
Despite his shooting woes, the 26-year-old guard produced at least 20 points for the sixth straight game while tying his season high in steals. Fox is averaging 25.3 points, 6.3 assists, 5.2 boards, 2.6 threes and 2.3 steals through 10 games in March as the Kings try to escape the Play-In Tournament and lock up a playoff spot.
Mar 21, 2024
Reaches 20-point mark again
Fox recorded 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-89 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Fox has scored at least 20 points in five consecutive appearances, and while Domantas Sabonis has been the Kings' top performer this season, there's no doubt Fox is having a solid season of his own. The star floor general is averaging 26.3 points, 6.7 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game since the All-Star break.
Mar 19, 2024
Hands out 10 assists
Fox closed Monday's 121-111 overtime victory over the Grizzlies with 23 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 43 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox finished just three rebounds away from recording a triple-double, and with Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk posting impressive stat lines as well, Fox was able to showcase his elite playmaking ability. The star floor general is averaging 26.0 points, 6.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game since the beginning of March while recording double-digit assists twice in that span.
Mar 13, 2024
puts up team-high 29 points
Fox chipped in 29 points (11-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 129-94 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The Kings snapped an eight-year streak of losing to the Bucks, and Fox was a critical piece of the winning effort. It was a great bounce-back for Fox, who only managed 18 points agains the Rockets Monday evening. Although Fox has failed to reach 20 points in 19 games this season, most of them haven't occurred recently. Fox made things look easy in a decisive blowout.
Mar 11, 2024
Comes close to double-double
Fox contributed 18 points (7-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled badly from the field and needed 21 shots to score 18 points, but the nine rebounds were a nice sighting for the speedy point guard, as he tied his season-high mark in that category. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Fox, however, and there's a strong chance this was nothing more than a bad game. He's averaging 30.3 points per game while shooting 50 percent from the field over his last nine appearances.
Mar 8, 2024
Pours in 33 against Spurs
Fox registered a game-high 33 points (14-32 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 131-129 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old guard led all scorers on the night as he continues to see massive volume. Fox has attempted a whopping 32 shots in back-to-back contests, and his 21.1 FG attempts per game is second in the league, behind only Luka Doncic's 23.8 per game. He's been efficient of late, too -- over his last eight games, Fox is averaging 31.9 points, 6.9 assists, 5.8 boards, 2.4 steals and 1.9 threes while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor.
Mar 7, 2024
Ties career high with 44 points
Fox provided 44 points (19-32 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox made a whopping 32 shot attempts on the way to his massive total. No one came close to Fox's total on either team as the Lakers gave him too many mid-range looks. D'Angelo Russell had difficulty covering Fox, forcing LeBron James to come out and attempt to contain him. Aside from Domantas Sabonis, the rest of the starting lineup had a slow evening, so the Kings were fortunate that their star point guard was able to come alive.
Mar 5, 2024
Returns to action with 20 points
Fox chipped in 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, 10 assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
After missing two games, Fox's knee felt good enough to give it a go, but the Kings fell short despite an admirable effort from their star point guard. Fox shot 50 percent on the evening but turned the ball over five times and probably needs another game to test his knee. He'll face the Lakers on Wednesday in what should be a very watchable battle opposite D'Angelo Russell.
Mar 4, 2024
Good to go
Fox (knee) has been cleared to play Monday night against Chicago, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox entered the day tagged as questionable due to a bruised left knee, but he's been given the green light after successfully making it through shootaround. He'll be a full go for Monday after missing Sacramento's last two contests.
Mar 4, 2024
Participates in shootaround again
Fox (knee) is officially listed as questionable but participated in the Kings' morning shootaround ahead of Monday's game against the Bulls, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed back-to-back games and was downgraded from questionable to out despite participating in the team's morning shootaround ahead of each of those absences. However, the point guard appears to be trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Sunday, and the Kings have expressed optimism about his availability for Monday. Regardless, fantasy managers likely won't get official confirmation until closer to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff.
Mar 3, 2024
Questionable, but ramping up
Fox (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice and is considered questionable for Monday's game against Chicago, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff, though an official decision on his availability may not be determined until after morning shootaround and/or pregame warmups. The 26-year-old has missed two consecutive contests due to a left knee bruise, but his ability to log a full practice Sunday is an excellent sign that a return is near, even if he isn't ultimately cleared for Monday's game.
Mar 1, 2024
Will not play Friday
Fox (knee) will not play in Friday's game against Minnesota, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update and was able to go through the morning shootaround, but the Kings are hoping that a couple days off will help his knee recover. The point guard should be considered questionable for Monday against the Bulls. Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte will likely have more opportunities Friday night.
Mar 1, 2024
Participates in shootaround
Fox (knee) participated in Friday's shootaround, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves due to a left knee contusion. While the star guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability, he also went through shootaround before being ruled out against Denver.
Feb 29, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Fox (knee) is questionable for Friday's game in Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Fox sat out Wednesday's game due to the knee issue, which resulted in Davion Mitchell drawing the start, and he finished with five points, three assists, one rebound, one three-pointer and one steal over 15 minutes. However, it was Chris Duarte who came through with the more impressive stat line in 26 minutes off the bench, as he ended his evening with 18 points, three rebounds, one assist, four triples, two steals and two swats. If Fox is forced to miss another game, Duarte would make sense as a deep-league streamer.
Feb 28, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Fox (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
With Fox watching from the sidelines Wednesday, there will be more opportunity for guys like Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte and Malik Monk. Expect Domantas Sabonis and Kevin Huerter to take on more playmaking responsibilities sans Fox, and Keegan Murray could see some more shots falling his way. For now, Fox should be considered questionable for Friday's game in Minnesota.
Feb 28, 2024
Fully participates in shootaround
Fox, who's listed as questionable due to a left knee contusion, was a full participant during Sacramento's morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox landed on the injury report after bumping knees with a Heat player during Monday's loss. The point guard hasn't missed a game since Dec. 16 and is averaging 31.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.6 steals over his last five appearances.
Feb 27, 2024
Iffy against Denver
Fox is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Fox bumped knees with a Heat player Monday and is in danger of missing Wednesday's contest. If the star guard is ruled out, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Feb 27, 2024
Posts another solid line in loss
Fox closed with 27 points (13-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Fox continues to play at a high level and logged a full game despite a hard-fought win over the Clippers the previous evening. A victory against one of the league's best teams had to be taxing physically and emotionally, and the team ran out of gas late in the contest despite a valiant effort from the Kings' first unit.
Feb 26, 2024
Explodes for 33 points
Fox totaled 33 points (12-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The Kings are tough to beat when Fox and Domantas Sabonis turn in big totals, and Fox proved to be especially effective in all facets during the critical victory. The stellar point guard is on an incredible four-game tear, averaging 32.8 points, 7.5 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals over the span.
Feb 23, 2024
Pours in 28 points
Fox amassed 28 points (12-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 127-122 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Fox's shoulder injury showed no ill effects during Thursday's win as the Kings' floor general picked up where he left off after two excellent games before the break. Prior to his 40-point explosion against the Suns last week, Fox was toiling through a horrible slump where he averaged only 15.3 points and 5.8 assists over a four-game stretch, but he came back to life with big numbers against Denver and Phoenix. Fox will have the night off before meeting the Clippers on the road Sunday, giving his shoulder a chance to rest.
Feb 21, 2024
Not on injury report
Fox (shoulder) isn't listed on the Kings injury report for Thursday's game against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Fox said Tuesday that he had been battling a right shoulder injury recently, however, the injury will not have an impact on his availability for Thursday's game. With Domantas Sabonis (illness) doubtful to face the Spurs, Fox could see a spike in usage if Sabonis sits.
Feb 21, 2024
Dealing with minor shoulder issue
Fox acknowledged Tuesday he's been dealing with a minor right shoulder injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox said he hasn't had an MRI yet because the pain hasn't been that serious yet, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried, but it's still something to monitor. The point guard has also dealt with lingering ankle soreness stemming from a sprain that caused him to miss five games at the beginning of the season, but he's missed only one game outside of that absence. After a minor shooting slump, Fox finished the first-half schedule strong, totaling 70 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists and five steals over Sacramento's final two games before the All-Star break.
Feb 14, 2024
Does it all in 40-point performance
Fox ended Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns with 40 points (14-31 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox led all players in Tuesday's contest in scoring and threes made while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to go along with a half-dozen assists and a team-best trio of threes in an all-around showcase. Fox has surpassed the 40-point mark in six games this season, including in two of his last six contests. He hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total, a feat Fox has accomplished twice this year.
Feb 12, 2024
Struggles from field
Fox posted 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound and five assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 127-113 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Fox is a dynamic floor general who can takeover a game offensively in the blink of an eye, but that hasn't been the case of late, as he has gone four straight games without reaching the 20-point mark. The lack of scoring hasn't been enough to reduce his fantasy appeal, however, as Fox should bounce back sooner rather than later. During that aforementioned four-game stretch, Fox is averaging 15.3 points per game while shooting a mere 39.4 percent from the field.
Feb 10, 2024
Logs double-double with 10 assists
Fox closed with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, 10 assists and five steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 135-106 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
It's hard to believe that Friday marked Fox's third double-double of the season, as one would expect the dynamic guard to hit the milestone with more frequency. Domantas Sabonis is the primary culprit, as he leads the team with 8.2 assists per game and caps Fox's distribution totals. Fox still leads the team with 26.6 points per game this season, and will continue to be a mist-start in all formats.
Feb 3, 2024
Reaches 40 points to lead in win
Fox totaled 41 points (13-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds, four assists and five steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Fox led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while added a game-best handful of steals and leading all scorers with a 40-point outing in a winning effort. Fox posted his fifth game of the year with 40 or more points, his first such performance since scoring 43 points on Dec. 26. He has now tallied five or more steals in three games.
Jan 28, 2024
Survives Dallas comeback
Fox recorded 34 points (13-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox chipped in just five of his 34 points in the fourth quarter, as Dallas outscored Sacramento by 14 points in the frame. Nonetheless, Fox boomed for his 22nd game with at least 28 points -- a threshold he hit 31 times through 73 starts last year. Fox's scoring upside is at an all-time high.
Jan 23, 2024
Regresses in victory
Fox ended Monday's 122-107 win over Atlanta with 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox was showing signs of fatigue after giving all he could during a four-game skid. The elite point guard couldn't find the bottom of the basket and went 0-for-5 beyond the arc, a rare occurrence for the proficient shooter. Fox is not immune to an occasional bad result, and Harrison Barnes was effective in picking up the slack this time around.
Jan 17, 2024
Goes for 33 points in epic loss
Fox had 33 points (12-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox drained six threes and reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season, but his impressive outing was not enough, as the Kings had an epic meltdown in the final minutes and ended up losing a game they should've won by a sizable margin. Despite the team's struggles closing out games, Fox remains a top option at the point guard role in fantasy due to his all-around ability, and he's putting up 22.6 points, 4.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game since the start of January.
Jan 13, 2024
Leading scorer in Friday's loss
Fox totaled 21 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
It was a modest scoring total by Fox's standards, but it still led the Kings on a night when the Sixers' defense held the opposition to just 33.7 percent shooting from the floor. Fox is still delivering 27.7 points a game on the season, but he's failed to reach 25 in five of the last six contests, averaging 18.0 points, 4.3 assists, 2.8 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.2 steals during his downturn.
Jan 8, 2024
Struggles mightily in blowout
Fox chipped in three points (1-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 133-100 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Kings lost by a whopping 33 points, and Domantas Sabonis was the only starter that had any real success. After a terrific showing in December, Fox has struggled in January and his performance Sunday was arguably his worst of the campaign. Over his last four games, Fox holds averages of 18.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 36.4 percent shooting from the field.
Jan 3, 2024
Big effort falls short
Fox posted 30 points (11-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Fox led the Kings in scoring in the loss, putting up his third effort of at least 30 points over his past four games. Much of his production came in a 12-point fourth quarter, though his two turnovers and two missed shots over the final 45 seconds essentially sealed Sacramento's fate. Fox is in the midst of arguably his best NBA season, averaging 30.0 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 three-pointers and 1.7 steals through 26 contests.
Jan 1, 2024
Scores 24 points Sunday
Fox finished Sunday's 123-92 victory over the Grizzlies with 24 points (9-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox needed 23 shots to score 24 points, and even though the star point guard wasn't at his best in terms of efficiency, he still delivered an impressive stat line. Fox has been one of the best point guards in the Western Conference over the last few weeks. He's averaging 29.3 points, 6.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game since the start of December.
Dec 29, 2023
Continues hot shooting in win
Fox registered 31 points (10-20 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and four steals over 41 minutes in Friday's 117-110 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Fox led the Kings in scoring for the third straight game and the fifth time in his last six games. He has shot 50.0 percent or better from the field in six of his last seven games and has gone 15-for-31 from beyond the arc over his last two contests. Fox is fifth in the NBA averaging a career-high 30.2 points along with 6.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds over 35.1 minutes per game this season.
Dec 27, 2023
Scores season-high 43 points
Fox posted 43 points (16-26 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
One would expect a decisive win after a total like this from Fox, but the Kings fell to 17-12 despite a career game from the elite point guard. Fox produced his third-highest shot volume of the year and connected on 61.5 percent of his shots.
Dec 23, 2023
Scores 23 points against PHX
Fox notched 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have his best shooting performance Friday, but he didn't need to since Domantas Sabonis took over and led Sacramento to victory. Fox has been excellent for Sacramento recently, averaging 29.6 points and 6.4 assists per game over his last 10 contests.
Dec 21, 2023
Leads team with 29 points in loss
Fox produced 29 points (9-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Fox had a great outing but was unable to get the team to victory on his 26th birthday. Fox was the only bright spot for the Kings, as the rest of the starting five couldn't score, and the bench scored just 35 points in the blowout. That total would have been much lower had the Kings not emptied the bench in the final quarter. Fox will hope for more help from his supporting cast Friday against the Suns.
Dec 19, 2023
Dominates against Washington
Fox contributed 30 points (10-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 143-131 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Even though Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis stood out due to his individual performances, Fox has been outstanding as well, and the star guard continues to settle himself as one of the best floor generals in the Western Conference. Fox showed no ill effects of the shoulder injury that sidelined him against the Jazz on Saturday, and he should handle his regular workload going forward. Fox is in line for a tough matchup Wednesday against the Celtics.
Dec 18, 2023
Will play vs. Wizards
Fox (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been trending in the right direction after being added to the injury report with a shoulder injury, and he's now been cleared to take the court Monday night. He continues to play at a high level in December, averaging 29.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.2 steals in six contests.
Dec 18, 2023
Participates in shootaround
Fox (shoulder), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards, participated in the Kings' morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox sat out Saturday against the Jazz due to a shoulder issue, but his participation in Monday's shootaround is encouraging for his status against Washington. The Kings will presumably monitor how he feels in the hours leading up to Monday's tipoff, but he'd provide a significant boost if he's available, as he's averaged 29.0 points, 7.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 34.2 minutes per game over six appearances in December.
Dec 17, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Fox (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against Washington, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was unavailable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to a shoulder injury, but he'll be in the mix to return against Washington. If he's sidelined again, Malik Monk, Kevin Huerter and Davion Mitchell are candidates to see increased run.
Dec 16, 2023
Won't play Saturday
Fox (shoulder) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Matt George of ABC 10 reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Mike Brown didn't provide many details regarding Fox, but presumably, he'll be day-to-day going forward since he was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update. Malik Monk is likely to soak up a ton of usage for the Kings, and Kevin Huerter and Davion Mitchell are likely to be more involved as well.
Dec 15, 2023
Iffy Saturday
Fox is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to right shoulder irritation, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
This is Fox's first game showing up on the injury report with a shoulder issue, so it presumably occurred in Thursday's 128-123 victory over the Thunder. The star guard recorded 41 points (14-25 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes in the contest. If he ultimately cannot play, look for Malik Monk and Davion Mitchell to be the prime beneficiaries. More information on his status figures to come following Saturday's shootaround.
Dec 15, 2023
Carries Sacramento to victory
Fox recorded 41 points (14-25 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 128-123 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The Kings needed a lift from their star point guard and Fox answered the call, stepping his game up down the stretch and carrying Sacramento to a hard-fought win against a difficult Western Conference rival. Fox has been outstanding when healthy this season, and this was his third game with at least 40 points -- and his ninth with 30 or more. The electric point guard is averaging 29.0 points, 7.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game since the start of December.
Dec 13, 2023
Struggles with shot in loss
Fox recorded 14 points (5-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 119-99 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Although Fox nailed three shots from downtown, he only went 2-of-13 elsewhere and couldn't get anything else going in the loss. Tuesday's game marked Fox's worst number since Nov. 20, when the Kings were trounced by New Orleans. When fox and the rest of the lineup are dialed in, they can beat anyone, but the team's fortunes decrease when Fox has a tepid performance.
Dec 12, 2023
Comes close to double-double
Fox ended Monday's 131-118 victory over the Nets with 29 points (10-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox was impressive as a scorer and playmaker in this easy win Monday, ending just two assists away from posting his third double-double of the campaign. He's also thriving as the Kings' primary scoring threat, and while he's always had a leg up over Domantas Sabonis in that role, his numbers in recent weeks have simply been off the charts. Through his last eight contests, Fox is averaging 31.3 points, 7.8 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game.
Dec 9, 2023
Drops 34 points in win
Fox chipped in 34 points (11-24 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 114-106 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been on an absolute tear for the Kings. In his last 10 games, Fox has averaged 30.8 points, 6.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.1 three-pointers. His perimeter shooting has improved a ton this season, as he's on pace to easily set a new career-best mark with 3.0 three-pointers per game.
Dec 5, 2023
Leading scorer in 30-point game
Fox posted 30 points (10-25 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 9-13 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 127-117 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Fox led all Kings in scoring while connecting on a team-leading mark from the field in all 40 minutes. Fox has tallied 30 or more points in seven games this season, reaching that mark in three of his last five outings. Over his last 10 games, Fox has taken his game to the next level while averaging 30.2 points, 6.6 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.
Dec 3, 2023
Collects career-high 16 assists
Fox chipped in 26 points (10-22 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, 16 assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Fox was brilliant in the win, logging the best assist total of his career. He made universal contribution in the win with output in every major category, and he also continued to enjoy a solid shooting streak. Over the past five games, Fox sank 49.1 percent of his shots. He's also enjoying a career year beyond the arc, dropping three-pointers at a 37 percent clip.
Nov 30, 2023
Goes off for 40 points Wednesday
Fox finished Wednesday's 131-117 loss to the Clippers with 40 points (14-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Kings suffered a 14-point loss to the Clippers, but Fox can't be blamed for the outcome of the game since he posted one of his best individual efforts of the campaign. His 40-point output was his second-best outing of the season, and he's now averaging a robust 30.4 points, 5.8 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game since returning from an ankle injury that made him miss five straight games in early November.
Nov 29, 2023
Excels with 29 points
Fox posted 29 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-17 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 124-123 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Fox has enjoyed better shooting nights than Wednesday's effort, but his massive volume allowed enough shots to fall. He came one assist shy of a double-double, a milestone that's occurred only once this season. Fox's accuracy beyond the arc has suffered over the past four games, and he'll need it to heat up in time for the Kings' meeting against the Pelicans in the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament.
Nov 25, 2023
Big double-double in win
Fox produced 36 points (14-32 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 124-111 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old led all scorers in the game as he produced his first double-double of the season. Fox has scored 26 or more points in six of seven games since returning from an ankle injury, averaging a sizzling 29.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 boards, 3.3 threes and 1.7 steals over that stretch, and the Kings' lack of depth behind him at point guard had led to a career-high 32.6 percent usage rate in the early part of the season.
Nov 23, 2023
Bounces back with 26 points
Fox closed Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Pelicans with 26 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled during the second night of a back-to-back set Monday, scoring just 14 points (5-18 FG) during a blowout loss to the Pelicans. He bounced back Wednesday and delivered a quality stat line, but the Kings suffered a second straight loss to New Orleans. Since returning from a five-game absence due to an ankle injury, Fox has averaged 28.2 points, 5.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 35.5 minutes across his past six appearances.
Nov 21, 2023
Struggles from field Monday
Fox ended with 14 points (5-18 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 129-93 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Kings' offense struggled badly in this defeat, and the star floor general could not escape those woes after posting a poor shooting line, particularly from three-point range. This 14-point output was a season-low mark for Fox, but given he has scored at least 28 points in six of his eight appearances, this was likely nothing more than a bump on the road in what has been a strong season for one of the most electric point guards in The Association.
Nov 20, 2023
Goes for 30 points in win
Fox racked up 30 points (10-20 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 129-113 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been sensational since returning to the hardwood following a five-game absence due to an ankle sprain, putting up at least 28 points in each of his four outings and clearing the 30-point mark in the last two. Firmly entrenched as Sacramento's go-to player on offense, Fox should continue to put dominant numbers while having a high usage rate.
Nov 18, 2023
Dominant showing in victory
Fox supplied 43 points (14-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Fox hasn't appeared to have any limitations over his three appearances since returning from an ankle injury, and he topped 40 points for the first time this season during Friday's high-scoring victory. The 25-year-old has played at least 36 minutes in each of his three outings since his return and has averaged 33.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 38.3 minutes per game during that time.
Nov 16, 2023
Another solid game in victory
Fox ended with 28 points (10-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and four steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox looked poised and more at ease in his second game back from injury. He was able to mix it up more on defense, and collected a season-high four steals in the winning effort. His secondary numbers padded a slightly off-night of shooting, and fantasy managers can depend on Fox for solid nightly totals due to his all-around impact.
Nov 14, 2023
28 points in return to action
Fox closed Monday's 132-120 win over Cleveland with 28 points (11-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox logged 26 minutes and showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that forced him to miss five games. The guard's production was sorely missed, as the team went 2-3 while he was absent. The Kings have a brutal road schedule coming up as well as a back-to-back next week, so giving Fox a rest during that stint is a possibility.
Nov 13, 2023
Ready for action
Fox (ankle) will play Monday night against the Cavaliers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox hasn't seen any game action since Oct. 29 after going down with an ankle sprain, but he'll be back in action Monday evening after proving his health during Sunday's practice. Keon Ellis will likely head back to a bench role with the return of Sacramento's star point guard.
Nov 13, 2023
Now listed as questionable
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Despite participating in Sunday's practice, which included a 5-on-5 scrimmage, Fox was still initially listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup. However, the All-Star guard kept trending in the right direction after participating fully in the team's morning shootaround Monday and will now test the ankle during pregame warmups. Fox has missed five straight games due to the sprained ankle, so he may face some limitations if he's ultimately cleared to suit up versus Cleveland.
Nov 13, 2023
Could return as soon as Monday
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.
ANALYSIS
It was discouraging to see Fox carry a doubtful tag on the Kings' initial injury report for Monday's matchup, but he's had several encouraging updates recently that suggest he could suit up against Cleveland. He fully participated in Sunday's practice and was a full participant during Sacramento's morning shootaround Monday, so the team appears to be actively monitoring his health ahead of tipoff against 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.
Nov 13, 2023
Full participant at shootaround
Fox (ankle) was a full participant during the Kings' morning shootaround ahead of Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was also a full participant during Sunday's practice, but he was still given a doubtful designation for Monday's game. It's possible the All-Star point guard will be upgraded prior to the 10:00 p.m. ET tipoff, but for now, Fox can still be considered unlikely to play versus Cleveland. However, his availability for the rest of the week is trending up. If Fox remains sidelined Monday, his next chance to suit up would come Wednesday versus the Lakers.
Nov 12, 2023
Unlikely to play Monday
Fox (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Although Fox took a step in his recovery process by fully participating in practice Sunday, he'll likely be forced to miss at least one additional game due to his sprained right ankle. If he's unavailable Monday, his next opportunity to suit up would be Wednesday against the Lakers.
Nov 12, 2023
Fully participates in practice
Fox (ankle) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed five straight games due to a right ankle sprain, but his participation during the Kings' 5-on-5 scrimmage Sunday is a good sign he'll return to game action soon. The star point guard's availability for Monday's game against the Cavaliers should become clearer when Sacramento releases its official injury report Sunday night.
Nov 9, 2023
Won't play Friday
Fox (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
This will be the fifth game in a row on the sidelines for Fox. His next chance to play will be Monday against the Cavaliers. Davion Mitchell will likely see extended minutes as the starting point guard Friday, while Malik Monk and Colby Jones could see more opportunities off the bench.
Nov 7, 2023
Remains out against Portland
Fox (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Fox's absence streak will extend to four games Wednesday while dealing with a right ankle sprain. Davion Mitchell and Colby Jones should continue to see extended minutes in his absence. Fox's next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with the Thunder.
Nov 5, 2023
Out again Monday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss a third consecutive game due to an ankle sprain, but there has been optimism surrounding a swift return so he doesn't figure to miss many more games. Davion Mitchell will likely draw a third consecutive start in Fox's absence.
Nov 3, 2023
Ruled out for Saturday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss a second straight game due to an ankle sprain, but there's optimism he's not facing a long-term absence. Davion Mitchell figures to draw another start Saturday, while Fox's next chance to return will come Monday in a rematch against Houston.
Nov 2, 2023
Deemed day-to-day
Fox (ankle) is considered day-to-day and could play in Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox missed Wednesday's contest due to a moderate ankle sprain, but isn't expected be headed toward a long-term absence. If Fox is unable to suit up Saturday, Davion Mitchell will likely draw another start.
Oct 30, 2023
Will miss Wednesday at mimimum
Fox (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox being sidelined Wednesday is no surprise given his diagnosis of a moderate ankle sprain. Fox's eventual return to action is unclear, but the fact that he hasn't been ruled out for an extended period bodes well.
Oct 30, 2023
Likely to miss some time
Fox has been diagnosed with a moderate right ankle sprain and will likely miss some time, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox had to be helped off the court following Sunday's overtime win over the Lakers following a dominant performance in which he tallied 37 points, eight assists, four rebounds, a steal and a block in 34 minutes. While he's avoided a significant injury, he's expected to miss some time. A timetable for his return isn't yet clear, but Davion Mitchell and Jaylen Nowell should see increased work in his absence.
Oct 30, 2023
Suffers ankle injury
Fox suffered an apparent ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's matchup against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox headed to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after suffering an apparent ankle injury on a layup attempt. Fox did return to the game shortly thereafter and put together a 13-point quarter to help force overtime. Although he was able to return to the game, he was unable to play most of the overtime period due to injury and was helped to the locker room following the game. There has been no official update from the team to this point, but it wouldn't be surprising if he misses some time.
Oct 28, 2023
Posts big fourth quarter in loss
Fox closed Friday's 122-114 loss to the Warriors with 39 points (14-28 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox went wild with 22 fourth-quarter points as Sacramento tried to rally down the stretch, though the effort ultimately fell short. The point guard's final line was a vast improvement over his performance in the season-opener versus Utah, when he shot just 6-for-18 from the field and missed six of his seven attempts from beyond the arc. Fox shot a career-high 51.2 percent from the field over 73 games last season, so Friday's performance was a good reminder of his ability to contribute as a high-volume scorer without being a field-goal percentage drain.
Oct 25, 2023
Struggles from the floor in win
Fox had 18 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal in 33 minutes in Wednesday's 130-114 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have a strong showing from the field and missed all four of his field goals in the fourth quarter, however the game was already out of reach by that point. He earned his first All-Star appearance in the 2022-23 season when he averaged 25.0 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 steals over 33.4 minutes in 73 games while shooting a career-high 51.2 percent from the floor. Fox hasn't been particularly efficient from beyond the arc over his career outside of his career-best 37.1 percent three-point shooting in the 2018-19 season and the Kings will need him to be improve in his efficiency and consistency if they want to make it back to the playoffs.
Oct 25, 2023
Starting as expected
Fox will start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox sat out the Kings' final preseason contest for rest purposes and, as expected, he'll be a full go Wednesday. In 2022-23, Fox averaged 25.0 points, 6.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
Oct 19, 2023
Sitting out Thursday
Fox (rest) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings are giving several key players the night off for the final preseason contest. Fox made four appearances in the preseason, averaging 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
Oct 19, 2023
Leads team with 25 points in loss
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 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Fox mildly struggled with his shot during Wednesday's loss, but Fox is in the top echelon of point guards in the league and should be an early-round guard target in all draft formats. Head 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.
Oct 16, 2023
Puts up 17 points in loss
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.
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.
Oct 9, 2023
Plays 16 minutes
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.
ANALYSIS
No one in Sacramento's starting lineup played more than 16 minutes as the Kings begin to ramp up everyone slowly. One disappointing showing for Fox in the preseason is nothing to worry about as he looks to shake off the rust.
May 1, 2023
Won't need offseason surgery
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.
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.
Apr 29, 2023
Shines in Game 6 win
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.
ANALYSIS
The star floor general was impressive and delivered another stellar outing to lead Sacramento to victory in a pivotal matchup, leading the Kings to success in a potential elimination game and 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.
Apr 27, 2023
Comes close to double-double
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.
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.
Apr 26, 2023
Clears injury report
Fox (finger) will play in Wednesday's Game 5 against Golden State, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
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.
Apr 26, 2023
Participates in shootaround
Fox (finger) participated in Wednesday's shootaround, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
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.
Apr 25, 2023
Officially listed questionable
Fox (finger) is questionable for Game 5 versus the Warriors on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fox has said that he'll be playing Wednesday, but the Kings are listing him as questionable 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.
Apr 25, 2023
Says he'll likely play Wedneday
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.
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.
Apr 25, 2023
Goes through non-contact practice
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.
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 upgraded 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.
Apr 24, 2023
Officially doubtful
Fox (finger) has been added to the injury report as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
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.
Apr 24, 2023
Sustains fractured finger
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.
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.
Apr 24, 2023
Drops game-high 38 points
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.
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.
Apr 18, 2023
Named Clutch Player of the Year
Fox won the NBA's 2022-23 Clutch Player of the Year Award on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
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.
Apr 18, 2023
Leads Sacramento to Game 2 win
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.
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.
Apr 15, 2023
Spectacular in playoff debut
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.
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.
Apr 8, 2023
Absent from injury report
Fox (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
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.
Apr 7, 2023
Out Friday
Fox (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
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.
Apr 6, 2023
Uncertain for Friday
Fox is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors with left ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Fox is one of seven Sacramento players holding a questionable designation for the contest after seemingly picking up an ankle injury. If he's unable to go, Davion Mitchell (knee), Malik Monk (lower leg) and Terence Davis could each see expanded workloads.

Leads way with 28 points
Fox posted 28 points (10-26 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 123-119 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox could've shot better from the field in this one, bu the still managed to lead Sacramento with 28 points. He also finished second in assists behind Domantas Sobonis, who dished out 11 dimes. Fox continues to post solid production across the board as the regular season winds down, and he's averaging 23.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists over his last 10 contests.
Apr 3, 2023
Scores 28 in OT loss
Fox contributed 28 points (10-23 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 overtime loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Fox reached the 15-point mark for the seventh straight game, but that's perhaps the lone positive outcome in a game where he struggled badly from the field while also failing to make an impact as a playmaker. Fox is averaging 24.3 points and 5.5 assists per game since the beginning of March, and he continues to operate as one of Sacramento's main offensive weapons.
Apr 1, 2023
Flirts with triple-double
Fox amassed 20 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 138-114 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Fox was ultra efficient from inside the arc, connecting on seven of eight attempts, en route to 20 points, which tied Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis for a team high. The lefty point guard also dished out a game-high 11 assists and notched his first double-double since Feb. 24. Fox's eight boards tied his second-highest rebounding total of the campaign, falling two short of his first triple-double this season, and to top things off, Fox added multiple steals for a second straight game. Fox had a couple forgettable outings in March, but his performance Friday was certainly one of his better all-around games this season.
Mar 28, 2023
Returns with 29 points
Fox ended with 29 points (10-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Fox took a seat for the Kings' previous game, which was the second half of a back-to-back set, but he was back in action Monday and submitted his usual all-around production. Across 12 March appearances, the lefty point guard has averaged 24.9 points, 5.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 32.3 minutes per game.
Mar 27, 2023
Available to play Monday
Fox (hamstring) is available to play Monday against Minnesota according toJames Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Fox was originally questionable, but he was a full participant at the morning shootaround and will give it a go Monday night. If the Kings win, they will advance to the postseason for the first time in 16 years. Davion Mitchell will likely head to the bench with this news.
Mar 27, 2023
Participates in shootaround
Fox (hamstring), who's officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota, participated in the Kings' morning shootaround, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was sidelined for Saturday's win over Utah due to a sore right hamstring, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's matchup. Before his absence, the left point guard appeared in nine straight games and averaged 23.6 points, 4.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 31.3 minutes during that stretch.
Mar 26, 2023
Questionable Monday
Fox (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Fox sat out Saturday against the Jazz due to a sore right hamstring, but he'll be in the mix to return for Monday's matchup. If he remains out, Davion Mitchell and Matthew Dellavedova should continue to see increased minutes for the Kings.
Mar 25, 2023
Won't play Saturday
Fox (hamstring) will not play Saturday against the Jazz, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Head coach Mike Brown described Fox's absence as a "simply a precaution."
ANALYSIS
Going up against the struggling and injured Jazz, the Kings will give Fox an opportunity to rest his injured hamstring -- an injury he picked up during Friday's win over the Suns. In Fox's stead, look for Davion Mitchell to get the start, while Matthew Dellavedova should see some reserve minutes.
Mar 25, 2023
Questionable vs. Jazz
Fox (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fox exited Friday's win over the Suns after 21 minutes due to a hamstring injury, but he's avoided something severe and could play again as soon as Saturday. However, if he takes the game off, more minutes should be in store for Davion Mitchell, Matthew Dellavedova and Malik Monk.
Mar 25, 2023
Won't return due to hamstring
Fox is dealing with right hamstring soreness and will not return Friday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
This is a tough blow for the Kings, especially since Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back. If Fox is unable to play Saturday, the Kings could turn to defensive specialist Davion Mitchell. Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk would need to step up as well.
Mar 22, 2023
Modest production in loss
Fox closed with 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and three assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Fox was stymied by Boston's defense and couldn't find any offensive rhythm. Coming into the contest, the lefty point guard had averaged 25.0 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals over his past seven appearances, so Fox should be a bounce-back candidate for Sacramento's next contest, which arrives Friday against the Suns.
Mar 21, 2023
Explodes for 37 points in loss
Fox ended Monday's 128-120 loss to Utah with 37 points (14-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox stepped up in a contest where Domantas Sabonis struggled with his shot, and the star point guard reached the 30-point plateau for the third time over his last five outings. Fox is averaging 25.9 points, 5.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.
Mar 19, 2023
Scores 12 points with 12 shots
Fox recorded 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-3 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 132-118 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have his best game Saturday and struggled badly from the field, but he still posted a decent stat line across the board and ended just three assists away from recording a double-double. He's averaging 24.5 points, 5.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game in March.
Mar 16, 2023
Nears 20 points in all-around game
Fox produced 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 101-96 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Fox finished second on the team in scoring, rebounds and assists while posting a team-high-tying mark from the free throw line in Thursday's victory. Fox has tallied 15 or more points with at least five rebounds and five assists on 17 occasions this season and for the first time since March 3.
Mar 16, 2023
Scores team-high 32 points
Fox finished Wednesday's 117-114 win over Chicago with 32 points (12-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored at least 30 points for a second straight game and extended his streak of contests with multiple steals to four in a row. The lefty point guard has appeared in 12 of the Kings' past 14 contests, averaging 31.3 points, 5.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 36.0 minutes.
Mar 14, 2023
Paces team in scoring in loss
Fox finished Monday's 133-124 loss to the Bucks with 35 points (13-23 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Following a three-game stretch in which he averaged 22.0 points on 45 percent shooting from the field and 25 percent shooting from downtown, Fox heated back up Monday and propped his season-long mark from the field back up to a career-high 51.3 percent. Because he's not typically a high-volume three-point shooter -- his 12 attempts Monday were a new season high by three -- Fox can be expected to remain a plus source of field-goal percentage from the point guard spot, making him a unique fantasy commodity in that regard. And unlike several teams as the season winds down, the 40-27 Kings have plenty to play for with regard to playoff positioning, making Fox less likely than many of the NBA's top stars to take games off for rest purposes over the final few weeks.
Mar 10, 2023
Comes up big down stretch
Fox closed Thursday's 122-117 victory over the Knicks with 23 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and four steals over 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox returned from a one-game absence due to a sore hamstring and looked to be in for a quiet performance through three quarters, as he posted just eight points on 4-for-9 shooting. However, the blossoming point guard took over when it mattered most, tallying 15 points on a 5-for-7 line from the field in the final period. He's been one of the most clutch players in the league this season, posting 10-plus points in the fourth quarter 23 times, tied for most in the NBA with Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand).
Mar 8, 2023
Set to play Thursday
Fox (hamstring) isn't on the injury list for Thursday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Fox should be good to go Thursday after missing the previous game with left hamstring soreness. The star guard will likely replace Davion Mitchell in the starting lineup. Fox is on a tear recently, averaging 32.8 points, 7.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 35.8 minutes across his last five appearances.
Mar 8, 2023
Full go at practice Wednesday
Fox (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox missed Monday's win over the Pelicans due to left hamstring soreness, but it appears his absence was merely precautionary, as the dynamic point guard is already back at practice and trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's home matchup against the Knicks. However, his official status for that game likely won't be known until Sacramento releases its next injury report.
Mar 6, 2023
Won't go Monday
Fox (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to a left hamstring issue, and the Kings have since decided to hold him out. Look for Davion Mitchell and Matthew Dellavedova to take on larger roles at point guard in Fox's absence.
Mar 6, 2023
Considered a game-time call
Fox (hamstring) is a game-time call Monday against the Pelicans according to James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Fox participated in shootaround and remains questionable to play. However, Ham reports that the Kings will be cautious considering it is a hamstring injury. If Fox is unable to play, we could see Davion Mitchell get extended run Monday. In six starts this season, Mitchell has averaged 8.7 points and 3.2 assists.
Mar 5, 2023
Questionable Monday
Fox is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to left hamstring soreness.
ANALYSIS
Fox dealt with a wrist injury last week but has been back in action over the last two games. He averaged 29.0 points, 7.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game during those matchups but is now dealing with a hamstring issue that jeopardizes his availability against the Pelicans. If Fox sits, Davion Mitchell and Matthew Dellavedova could see increased roles.
Mar 5, 2023
Comes back to earth in loss
Fox logged 25 points (10-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 138-134 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Few players have been playing as well as Fox over the past month, but he finally dipped below the 30-point mark after an impressive eight-game run of exceeding that benchmark. A slightly errant shot and lack of opportunity beyond the arc was the culprit for Fox in the loss, but this blip on the radar shouldn't be much of a concern.
Mar 4, 2023
Goes for 33 points in win
Fox posted 33 points (12-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 128-127 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Fox was one of Sacramento's standout performers in this upset win over another playoff contender in the Clippers, and the star point guard has now reached the 30-point plateau in eight games in a row. He's averaging a robust 34.3 points per game while shooting 57.5 percent from the field in that span.
Mar 3, 2023
Participates in shootaround
Fox (wrist), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, participated in the Kings' morning shootaround, Frankie Cartoscelli of Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox also fully participated in Thursday's practice and said afterward that he intends to play Friday against the Clippers. His presence at shootaround makes it increasingly likely that he'll be cleared to return from his one-game absence as long as he feels good following his recent activity.
Mar 2, 2023
Anticipates playing Friday
Fox (wrist) indicated Thursday that he intends to play in Friday's game versus the Clippers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox practiced in full Thursday and seems to believe he'll be back in action after missing just Tuesday's rematch with OKC. The team's injury report, slated to surface later in the day, should provide a clearer picture of his status for the contest, but the signs seem to point toward at least a probable designation.
Mar 2, 2023
Practices Thursday
Fox (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, and the team is optimistic the guard will return soon, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
We'll learn more once the Kings release an official injury report, but Fox's absence should be short-lived. If he's out again Friday versus the Clippers, Davion Mitchell would presumably draw another start.
Feb 28, 2023
Out Tuesday
Fox (wrist) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday will mark just the sixth game Fox has missed all season. It's an unfortunate time for him to suffer an injury, as he's been on a heater lately, averaging 34.4 points, 6.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 steals in his past seven games. In his absence, bigger roles should be in store for Davion Mitchell, Malik Monk and Matthew Dellavedova.
Feb 28, 2023
Limited at shootaround
Fox (wrist) participated in the non-contact portion of the Kings' morning shootaround and will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is dealing with left wrist soreness, so the fact that the injury is to his dominant hand may warrant the Kings to proceed with extra caution. If the dynamic point guard is sidelined, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk would be candidates for increased run, but Sacramento would likely turn to Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray to lead the offense.
Feb 27, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Fox (left wrist soreness) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Oklahoma City, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox tends to play if he's capable, but the medical staff might want to err on the side of caution with this being his shooting wrist. He'll likely want to go through his pregame routine before an official decision is made, so he may be a game-time call, but if he is forced to the sidelines that would open up opportunity for Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk while Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray would be asked to step it up on offense.
Feb 26, 2023
Scores game-high 33
Fox amassed 33 points (11-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored 19 of his game-high 33 points in the second half to help the Kings maintain their lead and ultimately get the win Sunday night. He's having arguably his best stretch of games right now, knocking down shots at an impressively efficient rate (59.8 percent over his past six contests), and certainly helping fantasy managers who may be trying to solidify a playoff spot. One could argue that this kind of shooting percentage might be unsustainable for a guard, but the first-time All-Star is sitting at a solid 51.5 percent for the season, and is averaging 25.4 points per game, both career-bests.
Feb 25, 2023
Scores season-high 42 points
Fox accumulated 42 points (17-27 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-11 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and five steals over 45 minutes during Friday's 176-175 double-overtime victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Fox's 42 points is a season high and it's the sixth game of his career with at least 40 points. Fox and Malik Monk were all over the place Friday and combined for 87 of Sacramento's 176 points. Fox has been a top-20 player in 9-category leagues over the past 10 games and will look to keep the momentum going against the Thunder on Sunday.
Feb 15, 2023
Sizzles from long range Tuesday
Fox finished with 35 points (12-22 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox cleared the 30-point mark for the fourth game in a row, doing so while offering some rare production from three-point range. The point guard went 1-for-13 from distance over his previous four contests, but he found his touch Tuesday. Though Fox hasn't shown any dramatic change in his perimeter shooting thus far in 2022-23 compared to previous seasons, his improved rates from the field (50.7 percent) and the free-throw line (79.7 percent) have enabled him to maintain a career-best 59.5 true shooting percentage.
Feb 12, 2023
Third straight 30-point game
Fox produced 36 points (12-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 12-14 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Saturday's 133-128 overtime win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox had a modest first half with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field to go along with three assists and two rebounds. He then went scoreless in the third period before taking the game over with 26 points between the fourth quarter and overtime on a combined 8-of-14 shooting. Fox finished with a game-high 36 points and has now broken the 30-point mark in five of his last six. He's also shot at least 10 free throws in three straight, though he's shooting just 17.6 percent from three in the month February.
Feb 11, 2023
Scores game-high 33 points
Fox registered 33 points (10-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 12-14 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block in 39 minutes during Friday's 122-114 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox paced the Kings' scoring attack by shooting efficiently from the field while also turning in solid numbers on the boards and as a passer. He also picked up a block and has now swatted away a shot in four of his last five contests. The Kentucky product is averaging 27.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.8 steals through four February appearances.
Feb 9, 2023
Leads team in points, assists
Fox ended Wednesday's 130-128 win over the Rockets with 31 points (11-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox really found his stroke in the second half, going 7-of-12 from the field for 19 points while adding eight assists and two steals. He finished the night with 31 points and 11 dimes, both of which led the team, while also knocking down nine of 10 free-throw attempts. The point guard has now scored 30 or more points in three of his last four contests and is averaging 8.2 assists per game over that stretch.
Feb 7, 2023
Dishes out eight dimes
Fox ended with 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 140-120 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox returned from a two-game absence and finished two dimes shy of recording a double-double, something he had already accomplished in his previous outing. The star point guard is having an excellent season as one of Sacramento's main offensive weapons and is averaging 25.0 points, 6.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game since the start of January.
Feb 6, 2023
Removed from injury report
Fox (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
He should be back in the starting lineup after two missed games for Sacramento. Fox's return will likely push Davion Mitchell back to the second unit where his fantasy value should take a massive hit. Fox was on fire in January and most recently scored 31 points with 10 assists against the Spurs on Feb. 1.
Feb 4, 2023
Out again Sunday
Fox (personal) is out Sunday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss a second straight game due to personal reasons. During his first absence, Davion Mitchell drew the start but played just 22 minutes. Malik Monk saw 28 minutes, and Matthew Dellavedova played nine.
Feb 2, 2023
Ruled out Friday
Fox has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers due to personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been a well-rounded contributor recently, averaging 25.6 points, 6.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 35.8 minutes per game over 16 appearances since the start of the calendar year. However, he'll be unavailable for the first time since Dec. 11 due to personal reasons. Whether he'll be available Sunday against the Pelicans remains to be seen, but Davion Mitchell will likely see increased playing time against Indiana.
Feb 2, 2023
31 points, 10 dimes in win
Fox had 31 points (13-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Fox had it going from start to finish Wednesday, going 7-of-10 from the field for 15 points in the first half before pouring in another 16 over the final two quarters on 6-of-13 shooting. The point guard also dished out a game-high 10 assists in the contest while trailing only Domantas Sabonis for the game high in scoring with 31 points. It was Fox's seventh double-double of the season and he's now broken the 30-point mark in back-to-back contests.
Jan 30, 2023
Paces Kings in overtime victory
Fox finished with 32 points (13-27 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 41 minutes during Monday's 118-111 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Fox led the charge for the Kings, scoring a team-high 32 points, and adding a pair of steals. He has now recorded a total of 10 steals across the past five games, bringing some defensive upside to what is typically an offensive-heavy skillset. He is sitting just outside the top 50 for the season, a range he should be able to occupy without too much trouble ROS.
Jan 26, 2023
Produces solid numbers in loss
Fox produced 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Fox tied for second on Sacramento with 16 points in the contest, and he got there with an efficient 7-for-12 shooting night from the field. The point guard also led the Kings with eight dimes and chipped in four rebounds, though he turned the ball over four times. While Fox has taken a slight step back by averaging 16.5 points over his past two games, he hasn't shot the ball poorly, making 53.8 percent of his field-goal attempts over the pair of contests.
Jan 24, 2023
Posts robust line in win
Fox registered 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and four steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 133-100 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox fell well below his season scoring average Monday, but he compensated by shooting an efficient 7-for-14 from the field while making an impact in other areas. Most notably, the point guard tied his season high with four thefts and added 10 assists to notch his seventh double-double of the campaign. Fox snapped a six-game streak of scoring at least 24 points, but the double-double was his first since Dec. 30.
Jan 22, 2023
Flirts with double-double
Fox logged 31 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 129-127 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Fox came up one assist shy of a double-double but was still impressive, especially considering the tour-de-force performance by Tyrese Maxey on the other side of the ball. Fox has hit a valley or two this month, but he's holding steady with averages of 25.8 points and 6.3 assists over 11 games in January.
Jan 21, 2023
Hits for 25 against OKC
Fox totaled 25 points (10-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 118-113 win over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
The Kings' frontcourt stole the show as Domantas Sabonis produced another triple-double and rookie Keegan Murray had the best game of his brief NBA career, but Fox was more than just part of the supporting cast. The 25-year-old guard has scored 24 or more points seven times in 10 games so far in January, averaging 25.3 points, 6.0 assists, 3.1 boards and 1.4 threes on the month while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.
Jan 19, 2023
Leads Kings to another victory
Fox amassed 31 points (13-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Sacramento was without big man Domantas Sabonis (illness) on Wednesday, but the team was nonetheless able to notch its fifth straight win. That was largely due to Fox's performance, as he led the Kings in scoring while shooting an efficient 13-for-23 from the field, though he surprisingly struggled from the charity stripe. The point guard is shooting 78.8 percent from the line on the season, so his 3-for-7 mark there against the Lakers is likely just an aberration. With averages of 25.3 points, 6.4 assists and 3.0 rebounds through nine games in January, Fox continues to put up productive fantasy numbers.
Jan 16, 2023
Scores 17 second-half points
Fox had 23 points (11-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 37 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half, including 11 points in the fourth quarter on 5-of-8 shooting from the field as the Kings extended their winning streak to four games. The point guard has now broken the 20-point mark in six of eight games this month, though his three assists Sunday were the fewest he's recorded in a game since Dec. 23 against the Wizards.
Jan 12, 2023
Falls one dime shy of double-double
Fox contributed 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 135-115 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox and Domantas Sabonis keyed the Kings' victory Wednesday, as both players dished nine assists while combining to score 49 points. Fox's scoring output marked the fourth time in his past five games that he has scored at least 24 points, and he has tallied nine dimes in each of his past three contests. The point guard is averaging a robust 26.2 points, 7.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers over 14 games since Dec. 14.
Jan 8, 2023
Pours in 34 points
Fox racked up 34 points (11-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-14 FT), two rebounds and nine assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 136-134 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox did all he could to notch a victory, and he even had a shot to be the hero with a half-court shot at the buzzer that almost went in to win the game. The guard continues to be one of the most productive guards in the league, and despite single-digit assist totals for four straight games, he's posted 30-plus points in three of his last six contests.

Massive fourth quarter locks win
Fox finished Tuesday's 117-115 win over the Jazz with 37 points (15-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored 22 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter, and his layup with less than a second to go sealed the win for the Kings. Fox found success inside more often than usual, as the standout guard found numerous opportunities to drive to the basket. He'll look to keep the production going against the Hawks Wednesday night.
Dec 31, 2022
Dishes game-high 10 assists
Fox closed with 24 points (10-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and 10 assists across 39 minutes during Friday's 126-125 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Fox had a poor first half shooting the ball, going 4-of-11 from the field for nine points to go along with three assists. He was slightly better in the second half, knocking down six of 13 shot attempts for another 15 points while dishing out seven dimes to give him a game-high 10 assists on the night. The Kings' point guard now has back-to-back games with at least 10 assists and has scored 20 or more points in eight straight.
Dec 29, 2022
Hands out season-high 13 dimes
Fox accumulated 31 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 victory over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Fox's 13 assists marked a season high in what was also the point guard's second 30-and-10 double-double of the year. After a cold stretch in late November and early December, he's picked things back up. Over the past seven games, Fox has averaged 27.6 points on 53/31/74 shooting, 6.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and just 2.9 turnovers in 35.1 minutes.
Dec 24, 2022
Nets 26 points in losing effort
Fox produced 26 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-13 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 125-111 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox had a strong game offensively for Sacramento, leading the team with 26 points while turning the ball over only once. He chipped in seven boards -- the sixth time he has hit that mark this season -- but fell short of his usual production with just three assists. Fox has been increasing his scoring output of late, averaging 27.2 points on 50 percent shooting over his past five contests.
Dec 20, 2022
Racks up 37 points in loss
Fox ended Monday's 125-119 loss to the Hornets with 37 points (14-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox couldn't lead Sacramento to victory Monday, but he nonetheless continued to emerge from his recent slump, leading the Kings with 37 points on an efficient 14-of-25 performance from the field. The point guard added five boards, though his two assists were well below his season average of 5.6 dimes. Prior to missing two games with a foot injury, Fox had hit a cold spell, averaging just 15.0 points on 40.0 percent shooting over five games. However, he's turned things around in four contests since his return, posting 25.3 points on a 45.1 percent shooting mark.
Dec 16, 2022
Leading scorer in win
Fox closed with 24 points (9-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 122-113 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
After scoring 20-plus points on a fairly consistent basis during the first month of the season, Fox's scoring production recently started seeing a decline. However, the former Kentucky guard has put up at least 24 points in two straight games this week, including a game-high 24 on Friday. He's still struggling with efficiency, but he's also produced 19 assists and 11 rebounds over the past two games as well.
Dec 15, 2022
Double-doubles in tight win
Fox supplied 27 points (9-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered a strong performance while securing only his third double-double of the season. This was clearly a step in the right direction, as he struggled massively Tuesday in his return to action following a two-game absence when he recorded 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-73Pt, 2-4 FT) against the Sixers. Despite that, Fox remains a key piece for the Kings and is averaging 22.5 points, 5.6 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game this season.
Dec 14, 2022
Struggles in return
Fox logged 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Fox returned to the starting lineup Tuesday following a two-game absence due to a sore right foot, but he struggled with his shot and submitted just one assist during the blowout loss to Philadelphia. Coming into the contest, the sixth-year guard was averaging 22.8 points, 5.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals, so Tuesday's poor performance can likely be chalked up to rust. The good news is that Fox isn't listed on the injury report for the second half of the Kings' back-to-back set Wednesday, so he should be full go and will look to get back on track against Toronto.
Dec 13, 2022
In starting five
Fox will start Tuesday's game versus the 76ers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will not face any restrictions in his return to the floor following a sore right foot, so look for him to play his usual role. Davion Mitchell will slide back to the bench in a corresponding move.
Dec 13, 2022
Will play Tuesday, no restrictions
Fox (foot) will return to action Tuesday versus the 76ers without a minutes restriction, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will rejoin the action after missing a pair of games due to right foot soreness. He should resume his duties as the starting point guard and will aim to get back on track after seeing a downturn in his scoring production prior to the absence. Fox averaged just 15.0 points over the five games before the injury compared to 22.8 per game on the season.
Dec 12, 2022
Deemed questionable for Tuesday
Fox (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed back-to-back games due to a foot injury, but he returned to practice Monday and appears close to returning to game action. However, if he's sidelined Tuesday, expect Davion Mitchell to draw a third straight start.
Dec 12, 2022
Practices Monday
Fox (foot) participated in Monday's practice session, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed the last two games due to a foot injury, but it was encouraging to see him participate in practice Monday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers.
Dec 11, 2022
Out again Sunday
Fox (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Knicks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss a second straight game due to a foot injury. In his absence, Davion Mitchell will presumably draw another start. Fox's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against Philadelphia.
Dec 10, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Fox (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Fox's absence from the mix Friday led to Davion Mitchell getting the start and seeing a large chunk of action during Friday's game. That would likely be the case Sunday if Fox can't go, but the team should update his status ahead of the opening tip.
Dec 9, 2022
Sitting Friday
Fox (foot) will not play in Friday's game against the Cavaliers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss just his second game of the year due to right foot soreness, and with Terence Davis (back) also sitting out the Sacramento backcourt will not be at full strength. Davion Mitchell should be favored to draw the start in place of Fox, while Malik Monk and Matthew Dellavedova could see expanded roles off the bench. Fox's next chance to see the hardwood will come Sunday against the Knicks.
Dec 8, 2022
Questionable Friday
Fox is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Fox has played in all but one game this season but has seen his production tail off in a major way of late, failing to top 20 points in any of the last five games. A bothersome foot could help explain his shooting woes, and it will be worth monitoring if the star point guard gets the green light Friday. If not, Davion Mitchell could line up for the start at point guard.
Dec 8, 2022
Muted production in loss
Fox recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Fox was inefficient from the floor during Wednesday's defeat, as he converted just 31.3 percent of his field-goal attempts against Milwaukee. He was also unable to generate much production in secondary categories, as he matched his second-lowest totals of the season in rebounds and assists. He's been held under 20 points in each of the last five matchups and has averaged 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 29.6 minutes per game during that time.
Dec 1, 2022
Tallies 19/5/6 line in victory
Fox ended Wednesday's 137-114 win over Indiana with 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox took only 11 shots in the contest, but he was very efficient with seven buckets en route to 19 points. It was a nice bounce-back performance after he shot just 34.7 percent from the field and averaged 16.3 points over his previous three games. Despite the recent slump, Fox is on pace for a career-best 52.6 percent mark from the field overall this season, and he's contributing 24.0 points, 6.0 assists, 4.9 boards and 1.1 steals per game.
Nov 24, 2022
Poor shooting in loss
Fox registered 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Fox only scored three points in the first half on 1-of-6 shooting from the field as the Kings got themselves in a hole early. He was able to add 15 second-half points on just 6-of-14 shooting while also knocking down only three of his seven free-throw attempts in the contest. The Kings point guard shot 35 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from the foul line, easily marking his worst shooting performance of the season as Sacramento saw its seven-game winning streak come to an end. Fox did still lead the Kings in scoring despite having a down night.
Nov 22, 2022
Posts another strong outing
Fox ended with 32 points (11-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox was locked in from beyond the arc, tying his top mark in made threes this season with five. He also recorded a season-high four steals and registered his best rebounding night since Oct. 29 against Miami. The point guard is averaging 25.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.3 steals through 15 contests this year.
Nov 20, 2022
Leads Kings to victory Sunday
Fox ended with 33 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 137-129 victory over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Fox got off to a strong start and scored 15 of his 21 first-half points in the second half. It was his fifth 30-point performance of the season. The Kings have won six straight contests and Fox has been a big part of their success as he's averaging 24.0 points and 8.7 assists while making 57.7 percent of his shots during the streak.
Nov 18, 2022
Rarely misses in win
Fox posted 28 points (11-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 130-112 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Fox had another efficient shooting game, making over half his shots for the third time in his past four contests. The point guard led all players with 28 points and eight assists in the victory, posting a massive plus-36 during his time on the court. Fox is shooting a career-best 55.4 percent from the field on the campaign while averaging 24.8 points, 6.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.2 steals per game. He's posting top-20 value in nine-category fantasy leagues.
Nov 16, 2022
Sniffs double-double
Fox posted 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 153-121 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't have his best shooting performance, but the electric point guard still posted a decent stat line while ending just one assist away from delivering what would've been his fourth double-double of the campaign. Despite not having his best shooting effort here, it's worth noting that Fox has scored at least 20 points in four of his last six appearances, and he continues to play a pivotal role on offense for the Kings. He's averaging 24.7 points, 7.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per contest in November.
Nov 12, 2022
Returns to feasting
Fox boomed for 32 points (13-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 120-114 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox has notched 28-plus points of three of his last four contests. Friday marked his most efficient contest of the season, as well as his second double-double. Another good matchup awaits against a reeling Warriors' defense Sunday.
Nov 8, 2022
Puts up 28 points in loss to GS
Fox ended with 28 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), two rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been absolutely on fire this season, topping the 25-point plateau in his last two contests following a minor one-game absence but also doing it in all but two appearances to date. The electric point guard is being trusted with a bigger role on offense, and while his passing numbers have taken a hit as a result -- his 4.8 assists per game are the lowest since his rookie year -- he's also averaging career-best marks in several categories such as points (26.5), rebounds (5.4), field goal percentage (54.5) and three-point percentage (37.2) so far.
Nov 5, 2022
Hits game-winning three in overtime
Fox supplied 37 points (14-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 overtime win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Fox was phenomenal in the second half, knocking down six of 10 shots for 19 points from the third through the fourth quarter before adding another nine points in overtime, including a buzzer-beating three from just beyond half court to win the game. His 37 points were both a game and season-high for the point guard, who returned to the Kings lineup on Saturday after missing the team's previous game due to knee soreness. Fox also made all seven of his free-throws and is perfect from the free-throw line over his last five games, going 21-of-21 during that stretch.
Nov 5, 2022
Good to go Saturday
Fox (knee) will play Saturday against the Magic, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
After just a one-game absence, Fox is back in the fold Saturday. Before suffering the injury, he averaged 27.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.8 minutes.
Nov 4, 2022
Questionable for Saturday
Fox (knee) is considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Magic, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox fully participated in Friday's practice session, which is at least a checkmark on the positive side heading into the contest. If Fox gets the go-ahead to suit up for the contest, Davion Mitchell would presumably lose his starting spot and see his minutes scaled back.
Nov 4, 2022
Practices Friday
Fox (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox sustained a knee injury Monday against the Hornets and underwent an MRI that revealed a bone bruise. Although he isn't dealing with any structural damage, he was sidelined for Wednesday's game against Miami. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's matchup against the Magic, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.
Nov 1, 2022
Avoids major damage, out Wednesday
Fox has avoided structural damage in his knee and revealed a bone bruise, but he has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
When players go for an MRI, there are inherent thoughts of a long-term issue, so his results are at least encouraging. The star point guard will sit out at least a game Wednesday because of the issue, which positions Davion Mitchell -- who broke out in extended run Monday -- in position to join the starting lineup. Veteran Matthew Dellavedova could also line up for a few extra minutes off the bench.
Oct 31, 2022
Exits without return
Fox has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest after exiting the game in the first half due to knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
The exact extent of the injury is not known at this time. If Fox is forced to miss upcoming games, Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk emerge as candidates to receive more playing time. The Kings' next contest comes Wednesday against the Heat.
Oct 30, 2022
Dazzles in victory against Heat
Fox notched 17 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-113 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The fact that Fox needed 17 shots to score 17 points is not going to please many fantasy managers, but he was an absolute pest defensively, excelled as a playmaker and grabbed a career-high mark in rebounds. Fox had scored at least 26 points in each of his previous four appearances, so this is nothing more than a bump on the round for the star guard, who's enjoying an excellent start to the season on both ends of the court.
Oct 23, 2022
Leads team with all-around showing
Fox posted 26 points (11-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Fox posted a season-low scoring mark but still had a solid all-around outing Sunday with a double-double performance. Fox led the team in field goals made and assists, now averaging 31.7 points, 7.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds in three contests.
Oct 23, 2022
Explosive with 36 points
Fox recorded 36 points (15-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Fox's result usually correlates directly with the Kings' success, and thanks to Fox, they nearly pulled off an upset. Fox scored 69 points over his first two games, and when you consider the total loss margin of the first two games was only nine points, Fox may be directing the best 0-2 team in the league.
Oct 20, 2022
Falls short with 33 points
Fox ended with 33 points (12-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Fox did all he could to will his squad to victory, posting a spectacular line in the loss. The Kings were slightly favored at home but Sacramento's game plan didn't seem to account for Jerami Grant. and Fox had his hands full opposite Damian Lillard as well. He'll try to continue his run of production against the Clippers this Saturday.
Oct 4, 2022
Plays 16 minutes in exhibition win
Fox recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a blocked shot across 16 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox's season was cut short by a hand injury back in March, but he appears to be well past it and ran with the starters in the preseason opener. Fox remains a constant amidst a slew of new arrivals, and he is once again poised to direct the offense at the point.
Oct 4, 2022

Fox recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a blocked shot across 16 minutes in Monday's 105-75 exhibition win over the Lakers.

Mar 23, 2022
Unavailable Wednesday
Fox (hand) won't play Wednesday against the Pacers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest, so it's not a surprise he's sitting out a third consecutive contest due to the hand issue. The 24-year-old has shown some improvement over the past couple days, and his next chance to play will come Saturday in Orlando. Davion Mitchell is likely to receive another start in his absence.
Mar 22, 2022
Unlikely to play Wednesday
Fox (hand) has yet to return to basketball activities and is expected to remain out for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has already missed two games after suffering the hand injury during last week's loss to the Bucks.

Mar 18, 2022
Officially out Friday
Fox (hand) is out Friday against Boston, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was considered unlikely to suit up against the Celtics, and he'll officially be unavailable for at least one game due to his right hand injury. Davion Mitchell will draw the start.
Mar 18, 2022
Unlikely to play Friday
Fox (hand) is unlikely to play Friday against the Celtics, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox underwent an X-ray on his right hand Friday that revealed encouraging results, but he'll likely sit out at least one game. However, the issue isn't considered season-ending, so he should be considered day-to-day if he's ultimately ruled out against Boston.
Mar 17, 2022
Questionable for Friday
Fox is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a right hand injury.
ANALYSIS
It appears Fox picked up a hand injury some time during Wednesday's loss to the Bucks, so it's unclear if he'll be available when the Kings host the Celtics on Friday. Fox hasn't missed a game since Feb. 5 but if he ultimately can't go, Davion Mitchell would likely draw the start at point guard.
Mar 17, 2022
Cools down against Bucks
Fox posted 21 points (8-23 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Fox entered the contest having averaged 35.0 points on 52.7 percent shooting over his past five games, but he struggled to find the bottom of the net Wednesday. The star point guard finished with his lowest point total since Feb. 24 and converted just eight of 23 field-goal attempts. He did chip in a healthy number of assists, boards and steals, however, so he was far from useless for fantasy managers who roster him. Fox will face another tough matchup when the Kings host the Celtics on Friday.
Mar 15, 2022
Dazzles with 34 points in win
Fox closed with 34 points (13-25 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Fox took advantage of a struggling Bulls team with a signature home victory. Fox found open shots all over the court, converting 13 of a whopping 25 shot attempts. Fox is averaging a scorching 35.7 points and 9.0 assists per game over the past three games.
Mar 13, 2022
Explodes for 41 points in loss
Fox produced 41 points (15-32 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 41 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Fox has shown no signs of slowing down since returning in early February from an eight-game absence due to an ankle injury and then seeing Tyrese Haliburton get traded to the Pacers almost immediately after. In the 14 games that have followed, Fox has scored fewer than 25 points on just two occasions and is shooting 51.3 percent from the field during that stretch. He's also averaging 6.8 assists during that 14-game stretch, up from 5.2 per game before he sustained the ankle injury.
Mar 10, 2022
Posts double-double in loss
Fox produced 32 points (12-23 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 106-100 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Fox extended his scoring streak of games with at least 20 points to 14 contests, and the last time he didn't reach that mark was Jan. 16 against the Rockets. The star point guard has settled well alongside Tyrese Haliburton on the backcourt, and his scoring uptick certainly produces a boost to his already-high fantasy upside.
Mar 8, 2022
Continues strong scoring stretch
Fox totaled 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-8 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Monday's 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Fox led Sacramento in scoring in the contest, though he shot poorly from the charity stripe and knocked down only one three-pointer. The point guard also led the team in assists and has dished at least six dimes in five of his past six contests. Fox has been an elite scorer for the past month, averaging 27.8 points over his past 13 games. In terms of fantasy, that mark is somewhat dinged by the fact that he's shooting just 73.8 percent from the line and averaging just 1.5 triples over that stretch.
Mar 6, 2022
Huge effort not enough
Fox scored a game-high 44 points (18-31 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding six assists, two rebounds and a steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The 44 points tied his career high, but Fox didn't get enough help from the rest of the Sacramento roster to pull out a win against a Dallas squad missing its own biggest star in Luka Doncic (toe). Fox has scored at least 25 points in five straight games and 10 of 11 since returning to the lineup from an ankle injury in early February, averaging 28.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.1 boards and 1.7 threes over that stretch while shooting 51.5 percent from the floor.
Mar 4, 2022
Remains hot in victory
Fox finished Thursday's 115-112 win over San Antonio with 26 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox finished as Sacramento's second-leading scorer behind Harrison Barnes (27 points), and the point guard also paced the team with nine assists and three thefts. He knocked down multiple three-pointers for the first time in five games and finished one dime shy of a double-double. Fox has scored 25-plus points in 10 of his past 11 contests and has converted at least half of his field-goal attempts in all but one game during that span.
Mar 1, 2022
Pours in 29 points Monday
Fox recorded 29 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-14 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Monday's 131-110 victory over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Fox led Sacramento in scoring in the victory, though he struggled from the charity stripe and converted only one three-pointer. The point guard also tied his season high with 10 dimes, marking the second consecutive game in which he has reached that mark. Fox's assist numbers have been up since Tyrese Haliburton was traded to Indiana -- he is averaging 6.7 dimes in six contests over that stretch as opposed to 5.1 assists per game prior to the trade. He has also scored at least 20 points in each of his past eight contests, making Fox a strong fantasy contributor after a relatively slow start to the campaign.
Feb 27, 2022
Stars as scorer, distributor
Fox provided 26 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 40 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Fox led Sacramento in both scoring and assists in the contest to register his second double-double of the campaign. He had previously achieved the feat Oct. 27 against Phoenix in the Kings' fourth game of the season. Fantasy managers who roster Fox will be happy to see the big assist total, as the fifth-year point guard is averaging just 5.2 dimes per game on the season -- his lowest mark since his rookie campaign.
Feb 25, 2022
Hits 20-point mark in loss
Fox provided 20 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Fox trailed only Domantas Sabonis (33 points) for team high-scoring honors, though this was his lowest point total in his past seven contests. The point guard also tied for second on the team with four assists. Fox had averaged 28.0 points, 5.5 dimes and 5.2 boards during his last six games before the All-Star break, so this was a moderately disappointing effort. He'll look to raise his production in a rematch with the Nuggets on Saturday.
Feb 17, 2022
Nearly notches double-double
Fox accumulated 33 points (14-26 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Fox showed out on the offensive end Wednesday scoring 33 points which marked his highest scoring total since Dec. 8. His playmaking was also a huge factor as his nine assists were his best assist total since Nov. 15. The 24-year-old is now averaging 28.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists the five games since he returned from an ankle injury. Fox will now look to continue this level of production after the All-Star break.
Feb 15, 2022
Shows out in loss
Fox produced 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 109-85 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Fox still managed to log a minus-21 in the box score, but carried Sacramento offensively and was efficient in doing so. His teammates combined to shoot just 30.1 percent from the field and an equally subpar 23.3 percent from deep. On deck Wednesday, Fox will duel with DeMar DeRozan in a battle of red-hot scorers
Feb 13, 2022
Excellent once again
Fox registered 26 points (10-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-110 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox missed eight straight games due to an ankle injury but has been impressive since returning to the hardwood, scoring 20-plus points in each of his three games since he came back. Even when factoring his games prior to the injury, Fox has scored 20 or more points in six of his last seven contests.
Feb 9, 2022
Big minutes, big line in return
Fox (ankle) put up 29 points (11-22 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go with seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes Tuesday in the Kings' 134-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Despite the game being a blowout along with the fact that he had missed the previous eight contests with a left ankle injury, Fox seemingly faced no restrictions with his playing time in his return to action. After backcourt mates Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield were dealt to Indiana earlier Tuesday, Fox took on a 34.3 usage rate, which was well above his season-long mark (28.8 percent). Fox will lose out on some shot attempts and playmaking opportunities when newly acquired big man Domantas Sabonis debuts for Kings -- perhaps as early as Wednesday's rematch with Minnesota -- but the point guard could be in store for a big finish to the 2021-22 campaign after a disappointing start. Fox's name has been in trade rumors throughout the offseason, and while there's still a possibility that he could be moved ahead of Thursday's deadline if a team is willing to meet the Kings' asking price, the prior move of Haliburton to Indiana seemingly lowers the likelihood of Fox being dealt.
Feb 8, 2022
Starting Tuesday
Fox (ankle) will start Tuesday against the Timberwolves, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
After eight consecutive absences, Fox rejoins the starting five, now devoid of Tyrese Haliburton, who was traded to the Pacers for Domantas Sabonis on Tuesday. There's a good chance Fox will have his minutes monitored.
Feb 8, 2022
Likely to play Tuesday
Fox (ankle) will likely play in Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Alvin Gentry stated that he believes Fox will be able to play versus the Timberwolves after missing the past eight games with a lingering left ankle injury. If that's the case, Fox will presumably rejoin the starting five while Maurice Harkless will likely return to a bench role. Fox's last performance was against the Pistons on Jan. 19, posting 27 points, eight assists and six rebounds across 37 minutes.
Feb 7, 2022
Full participant at practice Monday
Fox (ankle) was a full participant during Monday's practice, and is expected to be a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Timberwolves, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox, who has missed eight straight games due to an ankle injury, is trending in the right direction after finally returning to practice Monday. If he does return Tuesday, it's possible that the fifth-year guard will be limited during his first action since Jan. 19.
Feb 5, 2022
Ruled out Saturday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Thunder, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss his eighth straight game due to an ankle injury. In his absence, Davion Mitchell will once again be in the starting lineup.
Feb 5, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed seven straight games due to an ankle injury and remains day-to-day. If he returns Saturday, he could be on a minutes limit.
Feb 3, 2022
Out Thursday
Fox (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Thursday's contest against the Warriors, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss his seventh straight game with soreness in his left ankle. Expect Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton to see an abundance of minutes against the Warriors. Fox's next chance to return to the lineup will be Saturday against the Thunder.
Feb 3, 2022
Questionable at Golden State
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed the past six games. If he returns Thursday, he could be on a minutes limit, even if he starts. His potential return would presumably reduce the workloads of Davion Mitchell and Buddy Hield.
Feb 2, 2022
Out Wednesday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss a sixth consecutive game due to left ankle soreness. Davion Mitchell is likely to see extended opportunities in his absence. Fox's next chance to return will come Thursday against the Warriors.
Feb 2, 2022
Will be game-time decision
Fox (ankle) remains a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed the last five games due to a sore left ankle, and interim head coach Alvin Gentry confirmed that he'll be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Brooklyn. If Fox can't go, Davion Mitchell would likely see a boost in minutes alongside Tyrese Haliburton in the Kings' backcourt.
Feb 2, 2022
MRI comes back clean
Fox remains questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nets, but he said after shootaround that he had an MRI on his sore left ankle during his absence that revealed no structural damage, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
The MRI results obviously bring optimism, but there still isn't an official timetable for Fox's return. The star point guard has been listed as questionable for each of the past four contests, so there hasn't been much progress since he was an initially a late scratch ahead of a Jan. 22 loss to the Bucks. The injury couldn't have popped up at a worse time for Fox, who had averaged 23.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds over his last 10 games before being sidelined. If he's out again Wednesday, his next chance to suit up will be the second half of the Kings' back-to-back Thursday in Golden State.
Feb 1, 2022
Questionable vs. Nets
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed the past five games with left ankle soreness and will presumably warm up before the game to determine his availability. If he does return, he could have a minutes limit.
Jan 31, 2022
Still out Monday
Fox (ankle) won't play Monday against the Knicks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will be sidelined for the fifth consecutive game as he continues to manage soreness in his left ankle. Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to split point duties in the meantime for Sacramento.
Jan 30, 2022
Questionable again Monday
Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed four straight games due to left ankle soreness and is in danger of missing a fifth. He's listed as questionable for the third straight contest after being a late scratch against the Bucks on Jan. 22. If he's unable to suit up again, Tyrese Haliburton should continue to be the primary beneficiary.
Jan 29, 2022
Unavailable Saturday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will sit out a fourth consecutive game due to left ankle soreness. Davion Mitchell should see increased playing time once again.
Jan 28, 2022
Could return vs. Sixers
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Ankle soreness has kept Fox out over the past three games. If he returns Saturday, he may be on a minutes limit. This month, he's averaged 23.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 34.5 minutes.
Jan 26, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with a sore left ankle. Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should handle the bulk of the duties in the Kings' backcourt. Fox's next chance to return will be Saturday against the 76ers.
Jan 26, 2022
Will be game-time call
Fox (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against the Hawks, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 in Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
The left ankle has already kept Fox out of the Kings' last two games, including Tuesday's 53-point loss in Boston. He'll go through a pregame workout before the team officially rules on his status for the second half of the back-to-back. With Terence Davis (wrist) out, rookie Davion Mitchell figures to benefit most if Fox is ultimately held out.
Jan 26, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Fox continues to deal with a sore left ankle that has forced him to miss each of the last two games. If the 24-year-old is unable to return for the second half of the back-to-back set, Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should see plenty of run since Terence Davis (wrist) is unavailable.
Jan 25, 2022
Won't play Tuesday
Fox (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's game at Boston, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was a late scratch for Saturday's matchup with the Bucks due to left ankle soreness and will miss his second straight game Tuesday. Tyrese Haliburton and Terence Davis will start again in the backcourt for Sacramento.
Jan 24, 2022
Questionable Tuesday
Fox (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Fox was a late scratch for Saturday's matchup against the Bucks due to left ankle soreness but has a chance to return to the court Tuesday. Terence Davis and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to see additional usage if Fox remains out.
Jan 22, 2022
Late scratch Saturday
Fox is a late scratch due to a left ankle injury for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox's play has been improving lately, and this is an unexpected hit for fantasy managers who were expecting more good production from the point guard this weekend. In his absence, Terence Davis will remain in the starting five, while Tyrese Haliburton shifts to point guard.
Jan 20, 2022
Compiles 27/8/6 line in loss
Fox closed with 27 points (10-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-131 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Fox trailed only Terence Davis (35 points) for high-scoring honors among Kings players, and he has now scored at least 27 points in three of his past four contests. The point guard also dished eight assists for the second time in his past three games after failing to do so during a 10-game stretch between late December and mid-January. Fox is a useful fantasy producer as a scorer and distributor, though he is making his fewest threes and collecting his fewest steals since his rookie 2017-18 campaign.
Jan 15, 2022
Strong all-around line in win
Fox closed with 27 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 126-114 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
While Fox's three-point percentage (25.0% 3Pt) continues to be a major thorn in the side of fantasy managers, he's in the midst of a hot streak of late, putting up 24.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 5.5 free throws per game over his last eight. Free-throw percentage has historically been an issue for Fox, as well, but he's up to a career-best 74.5 percent on the year -- still not ideal, but a notable uptick from last season's 71.9 percent figure.
Jan 13, 2022
Totals 29 points in win over Lakers
Fox ended with 29 points (11-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox came into the contest in a slump, as he averaged just 13.0 points on 39.3 percent shooting over his past two games. The point guard turned things around against Los Angeles, leading Sacramento with 29 points while making over half his field-goal attempts for the first time in a week. Fox's campaign has been a bit of a roller coaster, but he has pushed his scoring average to 20.9 points per contest and is dishing out 5.1 dimes per game. Both numbers are well below last season's production, however.
Jan 10, 2022
Struggles in loss
Fox produced 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes during Sunday's 103-88 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Fox was listed as questionable with right shoulder soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he ultimately was able to suit up after going through warmups. However, after three straight 30-point performances, the point guard posted a meager 14 points on 14 shot attempts. While Fox didn't appear to be limited and he isn't currently listed on the injury report, fantasy managers will likely be inclined to monitor his status ahead of the Kings' second half of a back-to-back Monday.
Jan 9, 2022
Available, starting
Fox (shoulder) is starting Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox dealt with right shoulder soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup but will be able to suit up after going through pregame warmups. Across his eight appearances since returning to the court in late December, he's averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game.
Jan 8, 2022
Questionable vs. Blazers
Fox is questionable Sunday against the Trail Blazers due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
This is bad timing for Fox, who is just starting to look more like himself after a slow start to the season. Over the past four games, he's averaged 28.5 points on 51/21/86 shooting, 5.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.0 minutes. If he sits out Sunday, more usage would go to Tyrese Haliburton.
Jan 8, 2022
Scores 30 points once again
Fox amassed 30 points (11-23 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 121-111 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
The star point guard has scored exactly 30 points in three straight appearances but that uptick in figures has been tied with an increased volume -- he has attempted 20-plus field goals in each of those contests, something he had done just five times prior to this streak. Volume-based or not, Fox remains Sacramento's best player and one of the team's most reliable fantasy assets due to his high usage rate and his influence on the offensive side of the court. He's averaging 22.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game since the start of December.
Jan 6, 2022
Leads Kings with 30 points in loss
Fox closed with 30 points (12-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Fox registered his second straight 30-point effort, but his scoring prowess wasn't enough to lead Sacramento to victory. The fifth year guard also dished exactly six assists for the third straight contest, and he seems to be settling in offensively after an up-and-down start to the campaign. After averaging 20.5 points and 4.3 assists in December, Fox is posting 28.0 points and 6.0 dimes through three January games.
Jan 5, 2022
Resurgent with 30-point effort
Fox provided 30 points (12-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 122-114 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
There's no question that Fox has the goods to be one of the league's best point guards, but this campaign has been loaded with variance. He's been unable to keep things steady since his four-game absence, although his last two contests were more consistent with his enormous potential. His team-leading performance in the narrow loss is a step in the right direction.
Jan 3, 2022
Improved performance in win
Fox totaled 24 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 14-15 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-113 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Fox managed to right the ship in the victory, especially from the free throw line, where he went 14-of-15. He also added a pair of defensive stats but failed to score from outside the perimeter. All in all, it's been a serviceable season thus far for Fox, with his poor percentages and lack of scoring versatility dragging down his overall fantasy value. For anyone rostering Fox, patience is needed here in the hope he can slowly start to get things back on track.
Dec 30, 2021
Leads Kings in scoring Wednesday
Fox supplied 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 95-94 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Fox's point total was relatively mild by his standards, but it was enough to pace Sacramento in the low-scoring affair. The star guard scored his 16 points efficiently, making seven of 12 attempts from the field. Fox didn't chip in many other stats, however, and he continues to be overshadowed as a distributor by Tyrese Haliburton, who once again hit double-digits with 10 assists in the victory.
Dec 26, 2021
Struggles with TOs, fouls Sunday
Fox (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) posted 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes Sunday in the Kings' 127-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Sacramento was likely just happy to get its starting point guard back in action following a four-game absence, but Fox struggled through one of his worst outings of the season. In addition to tying his season-low in scoring, Fox committed seven turnovers and committed four fouls. Fox may need a little time to get back in form, but fantasy managers should feel comfortable reinserting him into lineups as Sacramento prepares for a four-game week.
Dec 26, 2021
Will play Sunday
Fox (Covid-19) will be available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies,Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has missed the last four games while in the league's COVID-19 protocols but will return ahead of Sunday's clash against the Grizzlies. Head coach Alvin Gentry said conditioning will be an issue but that Fox will not have any minutes restrictions upon his return. Fox is averaging 21.3 points, five assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.1 minutes per game and should immediately slot back in to his usual role.
Dec 25, 2021
May return Sunday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been in protocols and last played Dec. 15. If he returns Sunday, he could be on a minutes limit.
Dec 17, 2021
Won't play Friday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) was ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was considered doubtful for Friday after landing in the COVID-19 protocols, so it's no surprise he won't be available. Rookie Davion Mitchell should have an expanded role in his absence for the Kings.
Dec 16, 2021
Officially doubtful Friday
Fox Covid-19) is officially listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Grizzlies,Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Fox is unlikely to play in Friday's contest after being placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols Thursday afternoon. The 23-year-old guard will likely miss several games, paving the way for Davion Mitchell to see a massive boost while he's out. A final word on his status should come shortly before tip-off.
Dec 16, 2021
Latest star to enter protocols
Fox has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is merely the latest big-name player to be placed in health and safety protocols as the virus continues to make its way through the league. Charania notes that the Kings are "expected to have a handful of total players entering protocols," so the team will likely be shorthanded over the next several games. Marvin Bagley and Terence Davis were already placed in protocols earlier in the week. As usual, an immediate timetable was not provided for Fox, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss at least the next four contests.
Dec 16, 2021
Continues strong scoring stretch
Fox closed with 28 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-13 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox was the Kings' leading scorer in the victory, marking the fourth time in his past five games that he has scored at least 28 points. The star point guard is averaging 26.8 points on 58.8 percent shooting from the field over that stretch, though he is posting just 2.8 assists. Fox's numbers -- including 21.3 points, 1.1 three-pointers and 5.0 assists -- are mostly down on the campaign, so he has been a relative disappointment for fantasy managers who drafted him with the hope that he would take a step forward this season.
Dec 14, 2021
Bounces back with 29 points
Fox ended Monday's 124-101 loss to the Raptors with 29 points (11-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a rough weekend capped by a 13-point effort in Saturday's blowout loss to the Cavs, Fox bounced back with a solid effort on a night when the Kings fell behind early and never clawed their way back into the game. Fox still has more off nights than you'd prefer from a borderline-All-Star, but he's started to play better of late, having averaged 22.5 points per game (49.4% FG; 81.7% FT) over his last 10 games prior to Monday. Even so, Fox's numbers are down across the board compared to last season, with free throw shooting standing out as his biggest weakness, from a fantasy perspective.
Dec 12, 2021
Struggles from field in loss
Fox contributed 13 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The fact that Fox needed 14 shots just to end with 13 points is a bit concerning, although the entire Kings lineup struggled in this game and the team had a woeful offensive showing. The speedy point guard snapped a streak of five games with 15 or more points.
Dec 11, 2021
Misses two late free throws
Fox finished Friday's 124-123 loss to Charlotte with 31 points (11-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, five assists and four steals over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox was dominant throughout most of Friday's matchup with a team-high 31 points while shooting 64.7 percent from the floor. He converted each of his first eight attempts from the charity stripe, but he missed a pair of free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining in the contest as the Kings lost by one point. In spite of his late-game woes, Fox has now topped 30 points in back-to-back contests.
Dec 9, 2021
Scores 33 efficient points in win
Fox produced 33 points (12-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 142-130 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Fox notched his third game of 30-plus points this season, and he did so efficiently, making 12 of 18 field-goal attempts. The point guard also bounced back from a 1-for-4 performance at the charity stripe in his previous contest to knocked down seven of eight attempts Wednesday. The scoring did come at a cost, however, as Fox established a season low with just one assist. The lack of dimes isn't ideal, but his fantasy managers will likely be mostly pleased with this performance given that Fox entered the contest shooting a career-low 41.2 percent from the field.

Leads Kings to road win
Fox notched 24 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 victory over Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
Fox led Sacramento scorers in the win and did so with efficiency, making half of his shot attempts for the first time in four games. The point guard also committed just one turnover after racking up seven miscues in his previous contest. Fox has mostly fallen below expectations this season, but he has picked things up a bit of late, posting per-game averages of 21.8 points, 4.7 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.2 steals over his past six games.
Dec 1, 2021
Turnovers spoil performance
Fox finished with 17 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-92 loss to the Lakers. However, he committed seven turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Fox followed up his zero-turnover performance in Sunday's blowout loss to the Grizzlies with a seven-turnover effort in yet another blowout loss. However, aside from the giveaways, Fox had a nice game. He shot efficiently through a surprising conversion rate from the free-throw line and got his teammates involved with five assists.
Nov 27, 2021
Drops 34 in 53 minutes
Fox racked up 34 points (15-32 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 53 minutes during Friday's 141-137 3OT win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Playing 53 minutes certainly helped, but this was a nice bounceback effort for Fox, who was ejected from his previous game Wednesday night against Portland. On the whole, it's been a disappointing start to the season for the Kentucky product, who's shooting just 43.3 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three-point range. However, he's still providing fantasy managers with 20.7 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 boards, 1.3 steals and 1.1 threes per contest.
Nov 25, 2021
Ejected versus Portland
Fox was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was tossed during the fourth quarter after picking up a pair of technical fouls. The 23-year-old had 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes before making an early exit.
Nov 23, 2021
Paces Kings in points Monday
Fox amassed 23 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 102-94 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Fox led Sacramento in scoring in the contest, surpassing 20 points for the first time in three games. However, he continued his recent drought in the assist department -- over his past three contests, Fox has totaled just eight dimes. That trend isn't likely to continue, as the point guard has averaged at least 6.8 assists per game in each of his past three seasons.
Nov 17, 2021
Scores 28 in loss to Timberwolves
Fox had 28 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), one rebound and five assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 107-97 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
While Fox had his second-highest scoring night of the season, it wasn't enough as the Kings shot just 36.6 percent from the field as a team, while Minnesota hit 50 percent of its looks. On the whole Fox, is off to a relatively disappointing start to the season, as he's struggling from the field and hitting less than 25 percent of his looks from three-point range. He's still a solid points, assists and steals producer, but Fox doesn't offer much three-point volume, and he continues to be a liability -- by guard standards -- at the free throw line (71.4% FT).
Nov 15, 2021
Nears double-double in win Sunday
Fox registered 19 points (8-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and three steals during Monday's win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Fox tied a team high offensively despite struggling from three again, as the guard is currently shooting just 23.0 percent from deep this season. However, Fox played well elsewhere especially in aiding other scorers and nearly finished with his second double-double this year. Across 14 games played, Fox has reached the 12-point mark offensively in every contest while dishing out at least five assists in 12 games.
Nov 13, 2021
Struggles from field in loss
Fox posted 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and five assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 105-103 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Fox couldn't match the 37 points he scored against the Spurs on Wednesday, but at least he managed to extend the streak of games with at least 15 points to six contests. The speedy point guard has complete control of the Kings offense and has been one of the team's most reliable players, though his efficiency numbers remain subpar, to say the least. Even though he's scoring 19.8 points per game, he's shooting just 41 percent from the field and 23 percent from deep. Both numbers would be career-low figures for him if he can't improve them as the season progresses.
Nov 11, 2021
Scores season-best 37 points
Fox finished Wednesday's 136-117 loss to the Spurs with 37 points (14-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four contests, but this was the first time he hit the 30-point plateau in a dominant performance. He's also dished out at least five assists in all but one of his last six contests, so the star point guard has been doing more than just scoring while cementing his place as Sacramento's best player by a wide margin.
Nov 9, 2021
Solid offensive/defensive line
Fox totaled 24 points (8-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five assists, four rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots over 35 minutes Monday in a loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox trailed only Harrison Barnes (26 points) for high-scoring honors among Kings players in the loss, and he also led the team with five dimes. Perhaps more impressively, the point guard swatted a club-high three shots and also notched three steals. Fox entered the contest with only two blocked shots across his first 10 games.
Nov 8, 2021
Scores 17 in loss
Fox recorded 17 points (7-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 35 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Fox has surpassed the 20-point mark just three times this season, but he's managed to score in double digits in every one of his 11 appearances to date. The electric point guard has taken a bit of a step back compared to last season, though, as he's averaging "only" 18.1 points with 6.3 assists per game -- those would be his worst numbers of his last three seasons in The Association.
Nov 6, 2021
Almost double-doubles vs. Hornets
Fox recorded 21 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during a 140-110 win Friday versus Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored 20 or more points across four of his last 10 games. He also recorded nine assists during two matchups this month. Though only one of those games was at Sacramento, Fox has been more reliable when playing there. He averaged 19.0 points (on a 51.1 field-goal percentage) and 6.9 assists across the Kings' last three home matchups.
Nov 4, 2021
Scores 19 in win
Fox registered 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in a 112-99 win over the Pelicans on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Though he finished under the 20-point mark for the third straight game, Fox showed a much better shooting stroke Wednesday, making over half of his shots for the first time this season. The increased efficiency was partly due to the point guard taking only three attempts from beyond the arc, his lowest mark this season. Fox is shooting only 19.0 percent from three-point range and 38.5 percent overall on the campaign, and his 17.9 points per game are well below the 25.2 mark he posted last season.
Oct 31, 2021
Held in check once again
Fox finished with14 points (5-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three turnovers in 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-99 defeat to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The speedy point guard has gotten off to a slow start to begin the season. After averaging 25.2 points per game last season, Fox has scored 20 or more points just twice this season. The Kentucky product is also shooting at a 16.1 percent clip from deep to begin the year as well. Fox is still a very talented young point guard, but the 23-year-old has not taken the leap that many expected him to make this season just yet.
Oct 30, 2021
Surpasses 20-point mark
Fox recorded 23 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes in Friday's win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Fox surpassed the 20-point mark just for the second time this season, and there's no question he's been struggling on the offensive end of the court. Aside from averaging 4.2 turnovers per game early on, he's also shooting a meager 38.8 percent from the field and a woeful 16.1 percent from three-point range.
Oct 28, 2021
Shooting woes continue in win
Fox compiled 18 points (7-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Fox walked away with another serviceable line Wednesday but his percentages continue to be a real issue. He is currently shooting just 38 percent from the floor and 55 percent from the charity stripe. While both of these are likely to increase over the course of the season, it's hard to see him rectifying them to the point where they aren't still a massive flaw in his fantasy game.
Oct 21, 2021
Tallies 27 points in season opener
Fox registered 27 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a blocked shot over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 124-121 victory against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't the most efficient shooting night for the point guard, particularly from deep, but his scoring output in the contest exemplifies why Fox has a very high floor as a point producer. As the top option in Sacramento's offense, Fox should be able to again produce healthy scoring and assist totals. Last season, he ranked 16th in the NBA with 25.2 points per game and 12th with 7.2 assists per contest.
Oct 7, 2021
Scores 23 points in 22 minutes
Fox finished Wednesday's preseason win over the Clippers with 23 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and four assists.
ANALYSIS
Starting at his usual point guard spot, Fox needed just 22 minutes to turn in a productive all-around line. Coming off of a strong fourth NBA season, expectations are high for Fox, who averaged 25.2 points, 7.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 1.5 steals in 2020-21. It was the best statistical season of Fox's career, though he needs to improve as a free throw shooter (71.9% last season) to raise his fantasy ceiling.
May 14, 2021
Shut down for rest of season
Fox (COVID-19) won't play in Sunday's game against Utah, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings are shutting down Fox for their final two games of the regular season, as he continues to battle COVID-19 related protocols. Thus, the guard's fourth season with Sacramento has officially concluded, and he averaged a career-best 25.2 points along with 7.2 assists in 58 contests.
May 14, 2021
Remains out Friday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) is out Friday against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox is running out of chances to return, as Sunday's game against the Jazz marks the Kings' final game of the season. While Fox remains out, Delon Wright should continue handling point guard duties.
May 12, 2021
Still out Thursday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) is out Thursday against the Grizzlies.

May 9, 2021
Sidelined again Sunday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Sunday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Fox will miss his ninth game in a row due to the league's health protocols. Sacramento has just four games remaining in the season and it's unclear how many of those games, if any, Fox will be available to play in.
May 7, 2021
Still out Friday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) is out Friday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Fox will sit out an eighth straight game due to protocols. Delon Wright should continue seeing plenty of action in his absence.
May 5, 2021
Remains out Wednesday
Fox (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Wednesday against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
It's been nearly two weeks since Fox entered the league's health and safety protocols, and it remains unclear when he might return to game action. His next chance to play will arrive Friday against the Spurs.
May 3, 2021
Still out
Fox (COVID-19) remains out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been sidelined since Apr. 23 due to health protocols, though he's nearing the 14-day mark and figures to return in the near future. The team has yet to pinpoint a date for when the point guard will be cleared to play.
Apr 23, 2021
Sidelined due to health protocols
Fox is expected to miss at least 10-14 days due to health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox had been dominant for the Kings recently and had averaged 28.8 points, 7.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 37.4 minutes per game across the last 10 contests. Delon Wright and Tyrese Haliburton should see increased run while Fox is sidelined.
Apr 22, 2021
Drops 30 points in win
Fox tallied 30 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 13-14 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 128-125 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Fox hit only eight field goals in the contest, but he was nonetheless able to reach the 30-point mark for the sixth time in his past nine games thanks to a 13-for-14 performance from the charity stripe. The fourth-year point guard is averaging 29.0 points, 7.7 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 steals over that stretch.
Apr 21, 2021
Not on injury report
Fox (ankle) is not listed on the Kings' injury report ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The star guard tweaked his ankle during Tuesday night's loss to Minnesota, but it looks to be nothing serious and all signs are that he'll be available for Wednesday's rematch. The injury limited Fox to just 28 minutes of action Tuesday, during which he scored 14 points to go with six assists, four rebounds and two steals.
Apr 21, 2021
Tweaks calf in loss
Kings head coach Luke Walton said Tuesday after Sacramento's 134-120 loss to Minnesota that Fox was held to 28 minutes due to tweaking his ankle earlier in the contest, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Walton didn't express too much concern about Fox's injury and went on to suggest that the point guard's minutes were capped in some part due to the Kings playing the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday, also against Minnesota. Fox sounds like he'll be able to play through the ankle issue, but those planning on rolling him out in DFS lineups will still want to revisit his status prior to Wednesday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff. Fox finished Tuesday's contest with 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals.
Apr 21, 2021
Quiet night in high-scoring affair
Fox finished Tuesday's loss to Minnesota with 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox came into the contest averaging 30.5 points and 7.8 assists over his past eight games, so Tuesday's performance was a letdown by his standards. He struggled to convert from two-point range and played his fewest minutes since Jan. 15. There shouldn't be much concern about Fox based on this one-game sample, however, as the point guard is averaging career-best marks of 25.1 points and 7.2 assists on the season.
Apr 16, 2021
Leads team with 27 points
Fox compiled 27 points (11-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and a steal across 40 minutes in Thursday's 122-114 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Fox is not to blame for the Kings' nine-game skid, as he's averaged 27.3 points, 6.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 steals during the cold snap. Rather, it's a less-than-stellar defense that's yielding too many points, which was the primary culprit in Thursday's loss.
Apr 15, 2021
Posts 33 points, six steals in loss
Fox finished Wednesday's loss to Washington with 33 points (13-28 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds, six steals and a blocked shot across 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox couldn't prevent Sacramento from taking the loss, but he didn't disappoint fantasy managers who roster him with another big performance. His six steals tied a career high, and he logged his third straight game of 30-plus points. Over his past six contests, Fox is averaging 31.2 points, 7.0 dimes, 5.2 boards, 2.3 three-pointers and 2.3 steals while shooting 47.4 percent from the field.
Apr 13, 2021
Drops 43 points in losing effort
Fox scored 43 points (15-30 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 8-15 FT) to go along with six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Fox matched his season-high with 30 shots from the field and was effective from both two and three-point range. On the other hand, he was horrific from the free-throw line, where he also matched his season-high number of attempts. Otherwise, Fox's production remained strong across the board, as he tallied at least one steal for the 12 consecutive game and at least six assists for the fifth straight contest.
Apr 11, 2021
Nears double-double
Fox posted 30 points (11-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight assists, two rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fox paced the Kings in both points and assists, and the speedy point guard continues to carry the team offensively. The former Kentucky standout has scored at least 30 points in six of his previous 11 appearances and is the undisputed go-to player on offense for the Kings even when things are going south. He is averaging 28.5 points per game during that aforementioned 11-game stretch.
Apr 9, 2021
Logs 23 points in loss
Fox produced 23 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 37 minutes in Thursday's 113-101 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Fox got into foul trouble and didn't do much in the fourth quarter as a result. The Kings have now dropped four straight after signs that they were getting their act together, but the blame shouldn't be directed at Fox. who keeps putting up superlative numbers. Even through this skid, he's averaged 23.3 points, 6-8 assists and 4.8 rebounds.
Apr 5, 2021
Just misses a double-double
Fox went for 31 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 13-15 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes of Monday's loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Fox made a living Monday at the charity stripe, setting a career high in both free throws made and attempted. He's now hit the 30-point mark thirteen times this season after only doing so nine times in his first three years in the league. Fox is also showing his worth on the defensive side of the ball, collecting steals in eight of his last nine outings and Monday marked the first time in his last six contests that he failed to block a shot.
Apr 4, 2021
Gets back on track in loss to Bucks
Fox scored 27 points (10-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and added six assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 38 minutes Saturday in the Kings' 129-128 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Though Fox and the Kings fell short in their upset bid, the 23-year-old was at least able to get back on track after being held to 12 points on 5-for-20 shooting from the field in Friday's loss to the Clippers. The 12-point outing marked the only time Fox has scored fewer than 24 points in any of the Kings' last eight contests.
Apr 3, 2021
Struggles badly from field
Fox registered 12 points (5-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five assists, three steals, a rebound and a block across 29 minutes in Friday's loss against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox was able to end up as one of Sacramento's four players that scored in double digits and paced the team in assists, but he struggled from the floor all night long and needed 20 shots just to record 12 points -- that speaks volumes about his lack of efficiency. Fox ended a streak of six straight games with at least 20 points, though, so all the signs would seem to indicate this game was nothing more than a bump on the road for the 2017 first-round pick.
Apr 1, 2021
Leads team with 20 points
Fox registered 20 points (7-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has now scored 20-plus points in 37 out of 47 games this season. Before Wednesday's game, Fox was averaging 34.2 points, 5.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 61.7 percent from the field. He's averaging career highs in points, assists and three-pointers in his fourth year in the NBA. He should continue hovering between 35-40 minutes a game the rest of the way for a Kings team fighting for a playoff spot.
Mar 28, 2021
Remains scorching with 36 points
Fox tallied 36 points (15-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal in Saturday's 100-98 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Fox once again led Sacramento in scoring in the contest, though it was his deep inbounds pass to Harrison Barnes that led to a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Sacramento its fourth straight win. During that stretch, Fox has been red hot, averaging 36.8 points and 5.5 assists per contest while shooting a remarkable 64 percent from the field.
Mar 26, 2021
Explodes for career-high 44 points
Fox produced 44 points (16-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, three steals and two rebounds across 36 minutes in Thursday's 141-119 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Although Fox's services were no longer needed in the fourth quarter, it was evident that coach Luke Walton was pushing Fox to reach his career-high. Fox continues to mature as a team leader, and a shot of confidence like Thursday's win is a great benefit. Fox's production has experienced a lot of fluctuation this season, but he's come around recently, averaging 30.6 points, 6.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals over the past nine games.
Mar 25, 2021
Scores game-high 37 in win
Fox collected 37 points (13-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block in a 110-108 victory over the Hawks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fox dominated in this one, scoring over 30 points for the second consecutive game while also picking up solid defensive stats. In addition to the terrific scoring totals of late the guard's defense has also picked up, as he has recorded multiple steals in six of his last 10 games. Over that stretch, Fox is averaging 28.6 points, 7.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.
Mar 22, 2021
Fourth 30-point outing this month
Fox totaled 30 points (13-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 38 minutes during the win over the Cavs on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Fox has seen his scoring increase each month and his four 30-point performances in March are the most he's had in a single month this season. On top of his elite scoring, Fox has also been a top-notch facilitator as he has dished out at least five assists in 24 straight contests. On the year, Fox is enjoying career highs in both points (23.8) and assists (7.4)
Mar 21, 2021
Regresses in blowout loss
Fox registered 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), six assists and four rebounds across 33 minutes in Saturday's 129-105 loss to the Sixers.
ANALYSIS
After a 29-point performance against the Celtics, Fox returned to earth after a tepid shooting night. Fox was actually posting some of his best numbers of the season leading into Saturday's game, including monster 32-point showings against the Hawks and Trail Blazers. Fox is on pace to post career numbers in minutes, points, assists and field-goal percentage this season.
Mar 20, 2021
Scores 29 in win
Fox finished with 29 points (11-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, two boards and two steals in 37 minutes of a 107-93 win against Boston on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Fox has now scored at least 28 points in his last six games as he continues to build on his strong year. The Kings are 4.5 games out of the 8th seed, so the starting lineup should see lots of time on the floor as Sacramento begins its final push to the playoffs.
Mar 17, 2021
Strong line despite shooting slump
Fox scored 28 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT) to go along with one rebound, seven assists and five steals across 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox used his ability to get to and convert from the free-throw line to overcome a poor shooting night from the field. His seven assists were actually a downturn from his recent performances, as he had reached eight assists in 12 of his last 14 contests. However the highlight of Fox's box score was his five steals, a season-best mark.
Mar 15, 2021
Falls just short of double-double
Fox went for 29 points (11-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight assists and four rebounds over 37 minutes Monday in the loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been on an absolute tear since Jan. 30 scoring at least 20 points in 17 of 20 games while dishing out five or more assists in each outing. Over that time, Fox is averaging 26.2 points, 9.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
Mar 14, 2021
Scores 32 in 40 minutes
Fox had 32 points (11-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in Saturday's loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The Kings were unable to pull out the victory, but it was another all-around productive night for Fox, who's scored at least 30 points in three straight games. Since Feb. 23, Fox is averaging 27.5 points, 9.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals.
Mar 12, 2021
Fills box score Thursday
Fox finished with 30 points (11-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes Thursday in a 125-105 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox was firing on all cylinders in the win, leading Sacramento in points and assists while also contributing on the boards. The 23-year-old is in the midst of his finest NBA campaign with per-game averages of 23.2 points, 7.6 dimes, 3.3 boards and 1.9 three-pointers.
Mar 5, 2021
Puts up 32 points, 12 dimes in loss
Fox finished with 32 points (12-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 12 assists and eight rebounds in Thursday's loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Fox led Sacramento in both scoring and assists in the contest while registering his 10th double-double of the campaign. He has racked up 20-plus points in six straight games, averaging 26.3 points per contest during that stretch. The fourth-year guard enters the All-Star break on pace for career-high per-game marks in multiple categories, including points (23.0), three-pointers (1.8) and assists (7.6).
Mar 4, 2021
Comes close to double-double
Fox ended with 23 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight assists and three steals across 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Fox has scored at least 20 points in five games in a row, and he has dished out at least eight dimes in four of those contests as well. The speedy point guard continues to be the driving force for the Kings on offense and should remain a must-start player across all formats due to his role on offense and his high usage rate.
Mar 1, 2021
Drops 14 dimes Sunday
Fox finished a loss to Charlotte on Sunday with 20 points (9-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and 14 assists.
ANALYSIS
Fox was far from efficient from the field and missed three of his four free-throw attempts, but he was impressive as a distributor, collecting a season-best 14 assists. The fourth-year point guard is on pace for a career-best 7.4 dimes per game this season, and he ranks 12th in the league in that category.
Feb 27, 2021
Fills stat sheet Friday
Fox delivered 27 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 38 minutes in Friday's win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Fox scored more than 25 points for the third straight games and continues to prove his worth as the Kings' go-to player on offense on a nightly basis. He also ended a streak of games with at least eight assists at eight contests, and he's been thriving both as a scorer and as a passer in recent weeks.
Feb 25, 2021
Scores game-high 29
Fox contributed 29 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one steal in the Kings' 140-121 loss to the Knicks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Fox was able to score at least 27 points on 50 percent shooting for the second straight game despite six turnovers. The guard has been turning the ball over a little bit more than usual, as he has at least four turnovers in five consecutive games. Even with the turnovers, Fox has had a great month of February averaging 25.0 points, 9.2 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game.
Feb 23, 2021
Strong effort in loss
Fox posted 27 points (9-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight assists, one rebound and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-118 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Fox was a bit turnover prone (four) in the performance, but he shot efficiently from the field and got his teammates involved. Tuesday marked the seventh time this season Fox has scored at least 27 points, and it's the 13th time he's dished at least eight assists.
Feb 22, 2021
Double-double in loss
Fox scored 13 points (5-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added 10 assists, two steals and one rebound in the Kings' 128-115 loss to the Bucks on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Fox turned in a fifth-straight inefficient outing. Since missing one game due to a knee injury, the fourth-year guard has really struggled scoring wise, averaging 18.3 points on 44.3 percent shooting from the field and just 16.7 percent from three. So, the knee may still be bothering him because he was on fire, averaging 30.2 points per game in the seven games prior to his one game absence. Despite the recent struggles, Fox is still having a strong year, averaging a career-high 22.7 points and also adding 7.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
Feb 21, 2021
Flirts with double-double in loss
Fox compiled 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-9 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and two steals across 40 minutes in Saturday's 122-114 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The efficient night from Fox couldn't stop the Kings' current skid, but the team had its chances to overtake Chicago until the final minutes. The point guard's numbers have see-sawed since his one-game absence, and it appears that he's still favoring the knee that forced him to miss last week's game against the Magic.
Feb 19, 2021
Ekes out double-double
Fox compiled 11 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and a steal across 32 minutes in Thursday's 118-110 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Fox's double-double was efficient but not spectacular. His scoring is heading in the wrong direction after a one-game absence, diving from 23 to 19, and now down to 11 points in Thursday's loss.
Feb 16, 2021
Pops for 19 in Monday's loss
Fox scored 19 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding eight assists, three rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 136-125 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
It's the first time in his last nine games Fox hasn't reached 20 points. The 23-year-old has found another gear over the last month, averaging 27.7 points, 8.4 assists, 3.8 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.2 steals through his last 13 contests, and while the lineup around him remains in flux as Kings coach Luke Walton tries to find a winning combination, Fox's fantasy value is at an all-time high.
Feb 15, 2021
Flirts with double-double in loss
Fox produced 23 points (7-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 8-11 FT), nine assists, two rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 30 minutes in Sunday's 124-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Despite being at risk for a scratch due to injury, Fox played reasonably well. He struggled to get anything going from beyond the arc but was effective at getting the ball to his other playmakers. Fox was one of the players who looked a bit lost defensively in the loss, and the Kings have struggled with containment throughout the season.
Feb 14, 2021
Starting Sunday
Fox (knee) will start Sunday's game against Memphis, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
A sore knee kept Fox out of Friday's loss to Orlando, but after making some progress in the last 48 hours, he'll return to the lineup at point guard, sending Tyrese Haliburton back to the bench. Fox has been on a tear since the middle of January, averaging 28.9 points, 8.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals over his last 11 contests.
Feb 13, 2021
Questionable Sunday
Fox (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Fox missed Friday's game against the Magic due to a bruised left knee, but it's possible he returns Sunday. However, if he sits out again, Tyrese Haliburton would likely draw another start.
Feb 12, 2021
Won't play Friday
Fox (knee) won't play Friday against Orlando, Kayte Christensen of NBC Sports California reports.
ANALYSIS
Contrary to a previous report, Fox will miss Friday's game after suffering a knee injury during practice. Tyrese Haliburton will start in his place against Orlando, and Cory Joseph could also see increased run for the Kings.
Feb 12, 2021
Not starting Friday
Fox isn't starting Friday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Fox will be available for the Kings on Friday after suffering a knee injury during practice, but he won't be in the starting lineup against Orlando. Tyrese Haliburton will take his place in the starting five.
Feb 12, 2021
Active Friday
Fox (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was dealing with a knee injury after banging his knee in practice during the week. However, he'll be able to play in the matchup against the Magic. It's not clear whether he'll have any limitations Friday.
Feb 12, 2021
Questionable Friday
Fox (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Luke Walton said that Fox banged his knee during practice earlier in the week, and he's a game-time decision Friday as a result. If he's unable to play, Cory Joseph and Tyrese Haliburton could see increased run for Sacramento.
Feb 10, 2021
Remains hot despite loss
Fox tallied 34 points (13-30 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists in a loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Fox couldn't carry Sacramento to a victory against one of the league's top teams, but he helped them hang around with another big scoring effort. The fourth-year guard averaged a respectable 20.6 points per game through his first 17 contests this season, but he has ramped that up to 30.3 points per game over his past seven appearances. Impressively, he has not sacrificed lofty assist totals for the higher scoring; Fox has averaged 7.9 dimes over the seven-game span and has three contests with double-digit assists over that stretch.
Feb 7, 2021
Goes off in win
Fox posted 36 points (15-25 FG, 2-7 3PT, 4-8 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block during 36 minutes in the 113-110 win over the Clippers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Fox carried his team in the win Sunday. The guard out produced in the point column by 14 points (Buddy Hield-22). He also just barely missed out on another double-double for the season. He was unusually off at the line and struggled from the arc again. Nonetheless, he is one of the main point getters for the Kings and is a fantastic streaming option for multiple categories.
Feb 4, 2021
Paces Kings in win over Boston
Fox delivered 26 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 assists, two steals and a rebound across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Fox ended a streak of two straight games with at least 30 points, but he also extended his run of 24 or more points to four contests. In fact, Fox has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight appearances, a span in which he's also averaged 8.8 assists per game. Those numbers make Fox the undisputed leader of Sacramento's offense, both as a scorer and as a playmaker.
Feb 2, 2021
Explodes for 38 points Monday
Fox delivered 38 points (14-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 assists, four rebounds and a steal across 40 minutes in Monday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Fox surpassed the 35-point mark for the second time this season and both games have come against the Pelicans -- he previously scored a season-high 43 points on Jan. 17. Fox also ended with his second-highest assist output of the campaign, as he was responsible for more than half of the team's total point haul. Fox has also scored 20 or more points in six of his last seven appearances, and his role as Sacramento's go-to guy on offense gives him a decent floor across most formats, while also possessing the upside to takeover games on any given night.
Jan 30, 2021
Puts up 30 points in loss
Fox registered 30 points (12-26 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-8 FT), six rebounds, six assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled a bit with his shot, making just three of 11 three-point attempts and just three of eight shots from the charity stripe, but he still paced the Kings with just his second game with 30 or more points. The speedy point guard has scored at least 20 points in all but six of his appearances, however, and his role as the Kings' go-to guy on offense is completely established. That, along with his usage rate, make him an excellent fantasy asset across all formats.
Jan 30, 2021
Shooting back on track
Fox scored 24 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3PT, 5-7 FT) to go along with two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes in Friday's win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Fox regained his shot after going just 4-17 from the field in his previous contest. However, his struggles from the free-throw line continued, as he's shooting just 69.2 percent for the season. Otherwise, Fox's line lacked impressive production as he failed to record at least five assists for the first time in four games. Despite the relatively quiet performance, Fox remains a strong contributor of points, assists and steals on a regular basis.
Jan 27, 2021
Comes up short of triple-double
Fox went for 16 points (4-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 assists, eight rebounds and one block across 39 minutes in the Kings' 121-107 win over the Magic on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Fox had gone three straight games scoring over 20 points prior to Tuesday's outing. His 23.5 percent shooting was easily the worst of the young season. Though he struggled shooting, his 10 assists were the second most he's dished out this year and the eight rebounds were a season high. Fox has also made a home at the charity stripe, getting to the free throw line eight times in five of his last six games.
Jan 23, 2021
Leads Sacramento with 22 points
Fox totaled 22 points (7-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT) and seven assists in a win over the Knicks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
In a game that finished with all five Kings starters having registered double-digit scoring, Fox paced a balanced attack with his 11th game this season over 20 points. He also tied for the team lead with seven assists and a trio of three-pointers. In his fourth NBA campaign, Fox is posting per-game averages of 20.9 points, 5.9 assists and 1.4 steals.
Jan 21, 2021
Games Sunday, Monday postponed
Fox and the Kings will not play Sunday or Monday against the Grizzlies due to postponement, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Grizzlies will not have the needed eight available players due to contact tracing. The Kings are still scheduled to play Friday against the Knicks.
Jan 21, 2021
Paces Kings with 25 points
Fox totaled 25 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-8 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes in a loss to the Clippers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fox built upon his career-best 43-point effort his last time out with another big scoring night Wednesday, registering his third highest scoring output of the campaign. He looked to be on track for an even bigger game after registering 17 first-half points, but fantasy managers who roster the fourth-year guard will no doubt be happy with his final scoring tally, especially given Fox's efficient shooting. The only drawbacks to the standout performance were Fox's six turnovers -- the most he has registered in a game this season -- and poor showing (3-of-8) from the charity stripe.
Jan 18, 2021
Career night in loss
Fox finished with 43 points (17-27 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 assists, and four boards in 39 minutes of a 128-123 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Fox set a new career best in points and was just two assists off from matching another career high in the contest. He'll have a few days off before he'll try to avenge last week's loss to the Clippers in a rematch on Wednesday.
Jan 16, 2021
Scores 14 points in loss
Fox posted 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound and three assists across 23 minutes in Friday's loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The Kings lost by 39 points against the Clippers and, with the game being a blowout early on, Fox wasn't risked -- this was his lowest minute tally of the season if excluding the Jan. 6 against the Bulls when he suffered a hamstring injury. Fox should be ready to lead offense -- and post better numbers -- against a struggling Pelicans team on Sunday.
Jan 14, 2021
Fills stat sheet in loss
Fox recorded 29 points (9-18 FG, 5-8 3PT, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes in the 132-126 loss to Portland on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Fox once again set records in the loss Wednesday. The guard set a new season-high in points and rebounds. He also added his fair share of expected assists, using his excellent playmaking abilities. After what was a fluke performance only days ago against Portland, Fox has rebounded nicely with two exceptional performances to lead the Kings in multiple categories. Until he stops being the focal point of the team, he will still remain viable.
Jan 10, 2021
Quiet in loss Saturday
Fox posted 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists in a loss to Portland on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
As in Friday's contest, Fox was limited to 25 minutes as the Kings attempt to manage his recent hamstring injury. Unlike Friday, however, Fox was unproductive on the court, making only a third of his shots and adding little in the way of peripheral stats. It remains to be seen how long he will remain on a minutes restriction, but Fox should certainly have many better games ahead.
Jan 9, 2021
Still on minutes limit
Fox remains on a minutes limit for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is coming off a hamstring injury and saw just 25 minutes during Friday's loss to the Raptors. Chances are, he'll play a similar amount of minutes Saturday. Richaun Holmes and Tyrese Haliburton are also having their minutes monitored.
Jan 9, 2021
Paces Kings in loss
Fox registered 23 points (9-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three assists, two steals, a rebound and a block across 25 minutes in Friday's loss against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Fox was questionable prior to the game due to a hamstring injury, but it's safe to say that didn't slow down Fox -- he paced the Kings in scoring while posting his sixth 20-point performance of the young season. The fourth-year point guard should remain one of Sacramento's go-to players on offense as long as he remains healthy, which seems to be the case going forward after showing no ill effects of the aforementioned hamstring problem.
Jan 8, 2021
Good to go
Fox (hamstring) will play in Friday's game against the Raptors on an undisclosed minute restriction, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been given the green light after originally getting a questionable tag. His undisclosed minute restriction is very vague, but the likely case is that coach Luke Walton wants to see how he looks before determining how much run to give his young point guard.
Jan 7, 2021
Questionable for Friday
Fox (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox's status for Friday's contest will be decided closer to game time as he is still dealing with hamstring tightness that took him out of Wednesday's win over Chicago. Tyrese Haliburton and Cory Joseph would see slightly lesser roles if he is able to return.
Jan 7, 2021
Not at practice Thursday
Coach Luke Walton said Fox (hamstring) did not practice Thursday but the team is "hopeful" he can play Friday against the Raptors, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox had to leave Wednesday's contest in the first quarter due to hamstring tightness, which kept him out of practice. It sounds like he still has a chance to avoid missing any more game action but that will be determined by how he is feeling Friday. If he is forced to miss any time, Tyrese Haliburton and Cory Joseph would step into larger roles.
Jan 6, 2021
Out with hamstring tightness
Fox won't return to Wednesday's game against the Bulls with right hamstring tightness, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old exited late in the first quarter with the injury and had three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one assist. Cory Joseph and Tyrese Haliburton should handle point duties with Fox sidelined. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors until his status is updated.
Jan 5, 2021
Posts 18 points Monday
Fox registered 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block in a loss to Golden State on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Fox fell below the 20-point mark for only the second time this season, but he still tied for the team lead with 18 points in a game during which Sacramento made only 37.8 percent of its attempts from the field. Fox also paced the Kings with seven assists and three steals, salvaging a respectable fantasy performance in spite of a blowout loss. The fourth-year point guard leads Sacramento with per-game averages of 20.6 points, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals on the season.
Jan 2, 2021
Scores 23 in loss
Fox finished with 23 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four assists, two boards, two steals and one block in 36 minutes against the Rockets on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Fox's scoring output was in line with his season totals, but his ancillary stats dropped off slightly in the contest. His shooting also left room to be desired but he made up for it by getting to the line 10 times. He'll face Golden State on Monday.
Jan 1, 2021
Fills stat sheet Thursday
Fox posted 22 points (9-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists, four steals and a block across 35 minutes in Thursday's loss against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox has put up at least 20 points in four of his five appearances this season, but his impact hasn't been limited to his scoring figures -- he is also averaging 6.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game to date. Expect the electric point guard to remain as one of the Kings' main scoring threats Saturday against the Rockets in the second set of this back-to-back.
Dec 30, 2020
Leads Kings to third win
Fox tallied 24 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block in a win over Denver on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
After being held to 12 points by Phoenix on Sunday, Fox bounced back with an efficient effort from the field and tied his season high with 24 points. The nine assists were also the most so far this season for Fox, and he picked up another block -- his fourth in four games -- to boot. The former Kentucky Wildcat leads Sacramento with 20.3 points per game this season.
Dec 27, 2020
Carries Sacramento
Fox scored 24 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3PT, 7-8 FT) to go with four rebounds, seven assists, a steal, two blocks, and five turnovers in 35 minutes of Saturday's 106-103 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Fox posted team-high totals in scoring, blocks, and assists as he helped the Kings pick up a close victory on Saturday. The guard was especially good from the free throw line as he missed just one shot from the charity stripe. It's been a good start to the season through two games for Fox and if he can stay healthy a career year could be on tap.
Dec 24, 2020
Leads Kings in assists
Fox scored 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-2 3PT, 3-5 FT) to go with four rebounds, seven assists, a steal, and a block in 39 minutes of Wednesday's 124-122 win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Volume was the key for Fox as he chucked up a team-high 20 shots from the field to go along with a team-high seven assists. If Fox can remain healthy this season he should continue to build his game as an integral part of the Kings' offense.
Dec 17, 2020
Dishes out 13 assists in loss
Fox finished with eight points (3-17 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, 13 assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Thursday's 113-109 preseason loss against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
There's no question regarding Fox's status and role as the Kings' main offensive weapon ahead of the season's start, and he still managed to flirt with a double-double despite making just three of his 17 shots. Fox made a career-high 48.0 percent of his shots last season, however, so he should be in line for a bounce-back performance once the regular season begins next week.
Dec 16, 2020
Puts up 17 points in win
Fox tallied 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists and two steals across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 114-113 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
There's no question that Fox is the Kings' primary offensive weapon, and the organization hung their hat on his skills with a five-year, $163 million extension last month. Although there are a few new faces on the roster, it will be up to Fox to bring a largely unchanged squad to the next level against an increasingly difficult field in the Western Conference.
Aug 12, 2020
Out for finale
Fox (shoulder) will sit out Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Kings will go out with a whimper on Thursday, and Fox will miss a second straight game in the wake of being eliminated from playoff contention. Fox will finish his third NBA season with averages of 21.1 points, 6.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 32.0 minutes per game.
Aug 10, 2020
Sitting out Tuesday
Fox (shoulder) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
It's a meaningless game for both sides, so a number of key players will be absent. For the Kings, Fox and Richaun Holmes (hip) will sit out in their penultimate seeding contest. Keep an eye on Fox's status for the Kings' season finale on Thursday against the Lakers.
Aug 10, 2020
Scores 26, dishes nine
Fox finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Fox struggled from beyond the arc but otherwise he was stellar, albeit on a night that the team was eliminated from playoff contention. It's unclear whether Fox will continue logging such heavy minute totals going forward. However, if his playing time doesn't drop off too much, Tuesday's tilt versus the Pelicans represents a fairly friendly matchup for fantasy purposes.
Aug 8, 2020
Another strong effort Friday
Fox scored 21 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding seven assists, two rebounds and a steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old continues to produce in the bubble, although Fox hasn't gotten much help -- the Kings are now 1-4 in Orlando and on the verge of being officially eliminated from the postseason. Fox is averaging an impressive 26.2 points, 7.0 assists, 2.6 boards, 1.6 steals and 1.2 threes during those five games.
Aug 6, 2020
Goes for 30 in win
Fox had 30 points (12-21 FG, 1-4 3PT, 5-8 FT) and 10 assists in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The Kings finally got their first win in orlando and did so in a big way, putting up 49 points in the first quarter and finishing with 140. Fox was effective on both ends, adding three steals and a block in addition to his 30-10 double-double.
Aug 4, 2020
28 points, nine dimes in loss
Fox posted 28 points (12-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 overtime loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Though Fox wasn't especially efficient shooting the ball, he only turned the ball over twice to his nine assists and swiped two steals, helping control the possession game. He was also just one of three Kings players with a positive plus-minus (plus-2). At this point, the Kings look all but out of the running for a potential play-in for the eighth seed, as they've lost their first three games of the restart.
Aug 2, 2020
Quiet in blowout loss
Fox finished with 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-5 FT) and three assists in Sunday's loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a huge scoring game in the Kings' opener, Fox failed to carry over the momentum on a night when most of the Kings' regulars struggled from the field. With the game out of hand early in the second half, Fox was limited to just 25 minutes. He also added two rebounds, while committing four turnovers.
Jul 31, 2020
Erupts for career-best 39
Fox scored a game-high 39 points (17-33 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding six assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 38 minutes during Friday's 129-120 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
On a night without much defense being played at either end of the court, Fox was nearly able to score at will and set a new career high for points -- topping the 34 he dropped on the Clippers in late January. The loss deals a big blow to the Kings' chances of clawing their way into the Western Conference playoff picture, but the third-year point guard should remain productive right to the end.
Jul 25, 2020
Logs 19 minutes in return
Fox (ankle) had seven points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists and two rebounds in 19 minutes during Saturday's 131-123 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Fox had been dealing with an ankle injury but has apparently recovered ahead of schedule. He has stated his intention to play in the team's first official game on July 31 versus the Spurs. The Kings have ground to make up in the playoff race, and Fox is the engine that makes the offense go. As such, he can likely be expected to shoulder a sizable load as per usual.
Jul 25, 2020
Playing Saturday
Fox (ankle) will play in Saturday's scrimmage against the Bucks, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been nursing an ankle injury, but was still expecting to play in Friday's bubble opener against the Spurs. It appears his recovery is ahead of schedule, as the team feels good enough about his health to allow him to participate Saturday.
Jul 24, 2020
'Plans to' play in opener
Fox (ankle) shared that he "plans to play" in the Kings' season re-opener against the Spurs July 31, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was able to practice in full Friday, so everything is trending in the right direction. Fox also noted that he'd like to participate in at least one of the two remaining scrimmages, the first of which is Saturday against the Bucks.
Jul 24, 2020
Practices in full Friday
Fox (ankle) went through a full practice Friday, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
This is great news for the Kings, as it looks like Fox could play as soon as Saturday's scrimmage against the Bucks. Coach Luke Walton noted the team will be "smart about it," so we may learn more on gameday.
Jul 22, 2020
Won't play in opening scrimmage
Fox (ankle) will not participate in Wednesday's scrimmage against the Heat, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is recovering from an ankle injury, and the organization will opt to exercise caution with their point guard. He's returned to on-court activity but has not yet progressed to taking contact.
Jul 21, 2020
Recovering well from ankle sprain
Fox (ankle) was able to go through parts of practice Tuesday, the Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
While the point guard is yet to be fully cleared, Fox's left ankle continues to improve since he initially sprained it on July 15. He was able to go through conditioning and non-contact drills Tuesday, so Fox appears well on his way to returning to full strength before the start of seeding games on July 31. "He did more today than he's done any day prior," Walton said of Fox. "He looked good. He was getting up and down. We're still not doing any contact, but he definitely is making some good progress. I would expect him back with us soon."
Jul 15, 2020
Picks up ankle sprain
Fox suffered a left ankle sprain at practice Wednesday and will be reevaluated in 7-to-10 days, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kings have just over two weeks until the July 31 matchup with the Spurs, so the 22-year-old will be sidelined for a good chunk of the remaining prep time for the NBA restart. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and Fox's availability will be up in the air until he's reevaluated. Cory Joseph and Yogi Ferrell could see more run at the point if Fox is forced to miss any game action.
Mar 11, 2020
Wednesday's contest postponed
Sacramento's game versus New Orleans was postponed Wednesday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The NBA announced earlier in the evening the season would be suspended after a player tested positive for coronavirus, though the game in Sacramento was originally expected to be played as previously scheduled. Unsurprisingly, the game instead won't be played out of an abundance of caution.
Mar 9, 2020
Perfect from line in loss
Fox went for 28 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-10 FT) to go with four rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes Sunday in the Kings' 118-113 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Fox looks to have fully moved past the abdominal injury that forced him to miss a game in late February and left his status in question prior to several other contests. He's cleared 30 minutes in all but one of six outings, averaging 24.0 points and 5.8 assists over that stretch while hitting 50 percent of his attempts from the field and 90.7 percent of his free-throw attempts. He'll benefit from some added rest with the Kings being off the schedule until Wednesday against the Pelicans, but with Sacramento set to play only two games this week, Fox may not be the easy must-start option he's been all season.
Mar 8, 2020
Double-doubles with 11 assists
Fox produced 14 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Saturday's 123-111 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Although Fox struggled with his shot in the victory, he was effective in getting the ball to all of his playmakers as they tied a single-game record for 3-pointers in the contest. Fox is on an excellent five-game run, averaging 23.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals over that span.
Mar 6, 2020
Scores team-high 23 points
Fox managed 23 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 125-108 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Fox continues to battle his way through an abdominal injury, something that has plagued him for the better part of a week. Despite the apparent discomfort, Fox led the Kings in scoring and assists. The Kings are now four games adrift of the Grizzlies in the battle for the eighth-seed and should they fall any further behind, a lingering injury could become more of an issue.
Mar 5, 2020
Starting Thursday
Fox (abdomen) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against Philadelphia, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's reported that Fox is nursing minor right abdominal tightness, but the injury won't be enough to keep him off the court. The former Kentucky standout is currently dropping 20.4 points, 6.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 42 outings this season.
Mar 4, 2020
Should play Thursday
Fox is probable for Thursday's game versus the Sixers with right abdominal tightness.
ANALYSIS
Fox missed the Feb. 27 contest against the Thunder with the abdominal issue but played through it for the last three games, and he appears set to do so again Thursday. The 22-year-old hasn't slowed down his production in that stretch, as he's averaging 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 32.3 minutes.
Mar 4, 2020
Scores 31 points in win
Fox produced 31 points (12-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three steals and one assist in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 133-126 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox continues to battle an abdomen injury but played through to finish with a team-high 31 points. It was the first time he has eclipsed the 30 point mark in since early February, something that has to please those who have him on their fantasy roster. The lack of assists was a curious oddity but something that is likely an outlier. As long as he can remain healthy, Fox should be a strong contributor the rest of the way.
Mar 3, 2020
Good to go
Fox (abdomen) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Fox will play in Tuesday's contest. He played through the injury in Sunday's victory over the Pistons and logged 32 minutes. Look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Mar 2, 2020
Probable vs. Wizards
Fox (abdomen) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Fox played through the abdominal issue during Sunday's win over the Pistons, finishing with 23 points, seven assists, three rebounds and one block in 32 minutes. He missed one game near the end of February due to the issue but has now played each of the past two games and figures to take the court again Tuesday.
Mar 1, 2020
Dials up 23 points, seven dimes
Fox (abdomen) finished with 23 points (7-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block in 32 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Fox had been listed as questionable due to abdominal tightness, the same injury that forced him to miss Thursday's matchup versus the Thunder. Fox has appeared in two straight tilts now, and although he hasn't been fully healthy, he has turned in quality stat lines in both of these last two bouts. With the team fighting to make up ground in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, Fox may continue to try to play through injuries, and he seems like a solid bet to post another strong showing in Tuesday's matchup versus a Wizards club that pushes the pace offensively and gives up plenty of points defensively.
Mar 1, 2020
Says he'll play
Fox (abdomen) said that he'll play in Sunday's game against the Pistons, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was initially deemed a game-time call, but with about an hour until tip, the point guard told the media that he will, in fact, play through an abdominal injury. Fox missed Thursday's game against OKC, but he was back in the lineup Friday in Memphis, finishing with 25 points, five assists and two steals in 104-101 victory.
Mar 1, 2020
Deemed game-time call
Kings coach Luke Walton said that Fox (abdomen) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Pistons, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Walton acknowledged that both Fox and fellow point guard Cory Joseph (heel) are game-time calls, though the coach admitted the former is more likely to play than the latter. If neither Fox nor Joseph is available, Yogi Ferrell and two-way player Kyle Guy would likely handle most of the minutes at point guard. Fox previously missed Thursday's loss to the Thunder with the same injury but returned to action for Friday's win over the Grizzlies and looked good during his time on the court, finishing with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, four boards and two steals in 33 minutes.
Feb 29, 2020
Questionable with abdominal issue
Fox is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons with right lower abdominal tightness, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox missed Thursday's game due to the injury but returned Friday in Memphis with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes. The 22-year-old's status could receive an update after the team's Sunday morning shootaround, but for now he's likely to be a game-time call.
Feb 29, 2020
Solid effort in return
Fox racked up 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 104-101 win at Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Fox returned from a one-game absence due to an abdomen injury and picked things up right where he had left them off, as he notched 20 or more points for the fourth time in four games since the All-Star Break. The star point guard has also dished out five or more assists in each of his last three games, as he is making a big impact on offense both as a scorer and as a playmaking threat.
Feb 28, 2020
Will play Friday
Fox (abdomen) will play Friday against the Grizzlies, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
While Fox intimated that he's "not 100 percent", he'll still take the court against Memphis. Across nine February appearances, he's averaging 20.4 points, 6.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
Feb 28, 2020
Officially questionable Friday
Fox (abdomen) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Abdominal tightness prevented Fox from playing Thursday against the Thunder, but he may be able to make a return Friday. More information may arrive closer to tipoff. Cory Joseph would presumably start again if Fox is ruled out.
Feb 27, 2020
Hopeful to return Friday
Fox (abdomen) is optimistic about his chances of playing Friday against the Grizzlies, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox was held out of Thursday's matchup with the Thunder due to abdominal tightness, but the guard is hopeful to be back in action for Friday's action. The team should provide an update on his status closer to tipoff.
Feb 27, 2020
Won't play Thursday
Fox (abdomen) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox picked up the injury, which is being described as lower abdominal tightness, during Tuesday's win over the Warriors and will miss at least one game as a result. With the Kings playing a back-to-back set, Fox should be tentatively considered questionable for Friday's game in Memphis. Cory Joseph figures to start in his place Thursday.
Feb 27, 2020
Added to injury report
Fox is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to lower abdominal tightness, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Fox picked up the injury, though it could keep him sidelined for the first half of Sacramento's back-to-back set Thursday and Friday. The Kings will likely wait and see how the point guard responds to pregame activities before a final determination regarding his availability is made. If Fox is unable to go, Cory Joseph would likely draw the start in his place.
Feb 26, 2020
Full stat line in win
Fox registered 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-9 FT), five assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 112-94 win at Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Fox has topped the 20-point plateau in each of his last three games, but he continues to distribute the ball at a high level -- he has dished out five or more assists in 11 of his last 13 games. During that 13-game stretch, the Kentucky product is averaging an impressive 21.3 points and 6.4 assists per game in 32.2 minutes of action.
Feb 21, 2020
Scores 26 in win
Fox totaled 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Fox came out of the break with a bang, turning in his best scoring game over his last five. His assist numbers have dipped a bit over his last two, however, as he has just four in each game after reaching at least five in nine-straight contests prior to that. The 22-year-old's fantasy managers will take it if the scoring keeps up though.
Feb 11, 2020
Double-doubles in loss
Fox accumulated 17 points (5-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 assists, eight rebounds and a block in 34 minutes during Monday's loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Despite an errant night from the field, Fox managed to be the best player on the court for the Kings, yet again, finishing as the sole member of his team with a positive net rating with his plus-three mark. Fox's had a successful season individually and has seen his scoring average and efficiency at the rim markedly increase. While owners are still waiting on him to match his impressive three-point shooting from last season, Fox's nonetheless turned out averages of 19.8 points, 7.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.5 minutes per game this year.
Feb 9, 2020
Decent effort against Spurs
Fox registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 122-102 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Fox has dished out five or more assists in eight straight games, and he is also averaging 22.1 points per game during that stretch. He should remain one of Sacramento's top scoring threats -- as well as their main playmaker -- moving forward as he has been extremely consistent over the last few weeks.
Feb 8, 2020
Dishes out eight dimes
Fox compiled 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-8 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 105-97 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Fox has dished out five or more assists in all but one game since the start of January, and he has been thriving as a playmaking threat alongside a bunch of natural scorers such as Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic. He hasn't forgotten about scoring, however, and Fox is currently averaging 22.1 points per game while shooting 48.0 percent from the field in his last 10 starts.
Feb 4, 2020
Explodes for 31 points
Fox notched 31 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 113-109 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Fox topped the 30-point mark for the second time in his last three games, and he seems to have a bigger role on offense now that Buddy Hield has moved to a bench role for the last few games. The star point guard has topped the 15-point mark while dishing out at least five assists in each of his last six contests. That should be enough to keep him as a starter across most formats.
Jan 25, 2020
Dishes out seven assists
Fox had 18 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3PT, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 98-81 win at Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Fox has dished out five or more assists in all but one game during January, and he is averaging 7.7 dimes per game during the first month of 2020. He is also scoring 22.2 points per game since the calendar flipped to the new year, and he continues to settle himself as one of Sacramento's most productive and reliable fantasy assets.
Jan 20, 2020
Struggles in loss
Fox finished with 14 points (7-22 FG, 0-7 3PT, 1-1 FT) and eight assists in Monday's loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Fox still salvaged a decent fantasy showing, as he added three steals, but it was nonetheless a difficult night, as he missed 15 shots, including all seven of his attempts from three. Over his last seven games, Fox is now just 6-of-26 from downtown.
Jan 14, 2020
Two boards shy of triple-double
Fox had 31 points (12-18 FG, 2-3 3PT, 5-5 FT), 10 assists, eight rebounds, one steal and one block in 37 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The star point guard has flirted with a triple-double in each of his last two outings, tallying 50 points, 17 rebounds, 20 assists, five steals and three blocks during that stretch. He has topped the 15-point mark in each of his last six contests, and he is averaging 23.7 points, 7.8 dimes, 5.3 boards and a combined 3.4 steals/blocks during that stretch.
Jan 11, 2020
Flirts with triple-double
Fox had 19 points (9-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 assists, nine rebounds, four steals and two blocks over 38 minutes Friday in a 127-106 defeat against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Fox was the primary ball-handler of a Kings team that focused on quick offense against the Bucks. The 22-year-old ended up boosting both good and bad numbers by obtaining a double-double and finishing with six turnovers. It's been part of a recent trend for the third-season guard averaging 22.3 points, 7.7 assists and 5.3 turnovers in his last three games.
Dec 31, 2019
Good to go
Fox (back) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Dec 29, 2019
Game-time call
Fox (back) will be a game-time call for Sunday's game against Denver, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Dec 29, 2019
Questionable Sunday
Fox (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.

Out Saturday

Dec 27, 2019
Doubtful for Saturday
Fox (back) is being considered doubtful for Saturday's game against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS

Dec 27, 2019
Considered day-to-day
Fox (back) is considered day-to-day, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox had a MRI done Friday and auspiciously it came back clean. It's fortunate news considering Fox exited Thursday's contest early due to experiencing back spams and was unable to return. The Kings' next matchup looms Saturday where Fox should be deemed a game-time call.
Dec 17, 2019
To come off bench Tuesday
Fox (ankle) has been cleared to play and will come off the bench Tuesday against Charlotte, Gary Gerould of the Kings Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Fox will return to action Tuesday following a 17-game absence due to a sprained ankle. The Kings will understandably exercise caution with their starting point guard by using him off the bench in his first contest back. Cory Joseph will continue to start for the time being.
Dec 15, 2019
Ruled out Sunday
Fox (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Golden State, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Dec 14, 2019
Doubtful Sunday

Dec 13, 2019
Expects to be back soon
Fox (ankle) is hopeful to return sometime within the next week, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
Fox is optimistic about a possible return as soon as Tuesday against the Hornets, but he'll likely need to make significant strides over the weekend to make this happen. "I am surprised how fast it's been," stated Fox. "I knew I wouldn't be out as long as most people are with the Grade 3, but I didn't think it would happen this fast." A more concrete return date should come into focus early next week.
Dec 2, 2019
Still multiple weeks away
Fox (ankle) will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks.
ANALYSIS
Fox has been sidelined since Nov. 11 due to a left ankle sprain, and while he's resumed non-contact basketball activities, the guard is still multiple weeks away from a return. In the meantime, Cory Joseph should continue to fill in at point guard for Fox.
Nov 29, 2019
Getting shots up
Fox (ankle) was seen shooting around during Friday's practice, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
There's nothing to suggest that Fox's timetable will be moved up from mid-December, but it's a good sign that he's progressed to shooting light jumpers. More information on his recovery should arrive when he hits other milestones in his recovery.
Nov 11, 2019
To be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks
Fox is expected to miss the next 3-to-4 weeks due to a left ankle sprain, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Suffers hip injury
Fox suffered a hip injury during Friday's loss to Portland, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Despite this, he finished with 28 points (7-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Fox didn't reveal the severity of the injury, though he optimistic that he'll be ready to take the court for Saturday's matchup in Utah. His availability will depend on how his hip feels Saturday morning, per Anderson.
Oct 22, 2019

Will sit Wednesday
