Leading up to the Kings’ clash against the Warriors in Game 5, guard De’Aaron Fox was spotted putting up shots after practice Tuesday.
“Adrenaline was pumping, so I was fine the rest of the game,” Fox said of playing with a broken finger. “After the game, it really started to swell up and that’s when I began to feel it.”
Three days later, the sixth-year guard plans to take the court again in Game 5. He knows there's no easy path ahead. “I expect it to get hit," Fox said."At this point of the season something hurts anyway. You play through the pain. No excuses coming from me.” Fox has proven he’s built for playoff basketball over the first four games of the series. He went off for 38 points in Game 1, contributed to the impressive defensive effort in Game 2, finished one rebound and one assist away from a triple-double in Game 3 and registered another 38 points in Game 4.
The Kings need two more wins to send the defending champs packing for summer vacation. To do so, they’ll need Fox at his best.“I’m very optimistic about tomorrow," Fox said."As long as the pad on my finger is fine, then I feel like I’m good to go.”
