The Kings lost Game 4, which put the Warriors up 2-2 in the series. But, they may have lost even more seriously: De’Aaron Fox injured his finger during the match and his status for Game 5 is very uncertain.
Sacramento gave it their all in Game 4 at Golden State. Harrison Barnes was even a 3-point shot away from turning on the air conditioning at Chase Center. But only the result matters, and the Kings lost. Monday, a sad news came to put a layer: the Kings have not only seen the Warriors equalize, but especially their franchise player to hurt yourself. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, De’Aaron Fox injured his left index finger in Game 4. His status for Game 5 is very uncertain with a high risk of not playing. A nasty nightmare for Sacramento who will have to resist the defending champions, experienced, who smell the smell of the wounded beast.
Kings guard De’Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there’s still hope he will try and play Game 5 on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful.

The question now is how will the Kings fare without De’Aaron Fox? For his first series of career Playoffs, the fox pulls out a crazy line of stats with 31.5 points at 45% shooting, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.5 steals. No one in the team is able to overcome these numbers alone. And unfortunately for Mike Brown’s men, Sacramento is not known for its defense this season. The Kings coach will surely have to field Malik Monk or Davion Mitchell as starters in the five. Domantas Sabonis is going to have to pick up the leader’s torch and do his best to carry his guys. This loss of the player the most clutch of the season obviously hurts for the Kings who have given everything to get there.
From now on, the scenario of a victory in six of the Warriors becomes more and more probable. Even if Golden State doesn’t know how to travel this season, it’s hard to see how such an experienced team couldn’t jump at the 3-2 opportunity. After a crazy season, Sacramento is coming back (a little) to reality.
