In the tough for several games, De’Aaron Fox revealed that he is currently playing with several injuries. A drop in form that does not currently affect the Kings. The sign that this team has strong backs?
Excellent at the start of the season and worthy of an All-Star, De’Aaron Fox is currently fulfilling his role in Sacramento’s great success in the standings. 5th in the West with 13 wins and 10 losses, the Kings take everyone by surprise and dream of a return to the Playoffs next April. A goal that will be easier to achieve with a whole and fit group. It is precisely there that the bat hurts because we learn today via Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee that the leader of the franchise chained the physical glitches recently. Suffering from the foot since a game in Orlando on November 5, the Kings fox also recently hurt his thumb… It’s starting to do a lot!

Despite this foot problem, Fox delivered some very strong performances and the Kings had a solid November. A tightening of teeth which still seems to have limits since the local star is currently going through a more complicated period. Over the last 5 games, he has 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists at 40% shooting and 29% from far. Far from its standards. The positive point for Sacramento is that the team does not suffer from this drop in the diet of its leader. The results of these 5 matches? 3 wins and 2 losses.
The proof that the group is more balanced and that it depends less on the exploits of Fox than in the past, even if the presence of a Domantas Sabonis changes a lot of things on this side. A solidity that will have to be proven quickly because the Kings are just beginning a six-game road trip which will see them move to Cleveland, Philadelphia but also Toronto. Clearly not a walk in the park. Going to win with these teams with a Fox at 50% of his means or even on the sidelines (he was listed as questionable for the game with the Cavs) would be further proof that Sacramento has reached a milestone this season. We will follow this very closely.
De’Aaron Fox has a string of injuries and it’s starting to show in his performance. It only remains to hope that these physical glitches will not disturb the good form of the violets at the start of the season. So far…it’s holding up.
