De'Aaron Fox dealing with right foot injury for more than a month
Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox sat in front of his locker following a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks late Wednesday night while a member of the team’s medical staff applied ointment and a light wrap to his right foot. Fox revealed he has been playing through a lingering injury that has caused pain and discomfort for more than a month. Fox told The Sacramento Bee he sustained the injury in a Nov. 5 win over the Orlando Magic. Fox said an MRI showed he suffered a bruise to his foot. “It’s been hurting for a while,” Fox said. “Since Orlando, actually.”

No, De’Aaron Fox doesn’t look the same as he did to start the season but spare me from the Twitter doctors telling him to take nights off.
None of us know anything. – 10:51 PM

People don’t realize how difficult that finger roll high off the backboard layup is that De’Aaron Fox just pulled off. Incredible skill looking easy. – 8:37 PM
