Kings’ De’Aaron Fox (finger) says he’s playing in Game 5 on Wednesday

After news broke of De’Aaron Fox fracturing his left index finger in the fourth quarter of Game 4, signs pointed towards the Sacramento Kings All-Star guard potentially missing Game 5 on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.

Yet, with the series locked at 2-2, Fox isn’t planning on sitting on the sidelines for Game 5 at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center.

At practice on Tuesday, the former Kentucky Wildcat guard told reporters he will play on Wednesday despite his injured finger. Fox said he’s “99, 100 percent” going to play in Game 5.

The recent NBA’s Clutch Player of the Year award winner is coming off another impressive performance in his first career playoff series. Fox notched a game-high 38 points on 14-of-31 shooting from the field with nine boards and five dimes in the Kings’ Game 4 loss at Chase Center. 

During the opening round, Fox has fueled Sacramento, averaging 31.5 points on 44.7% shooting from the field with seven assists, six rebounds and 2.5 steals in 38.5 minutes per game.

The Warriors will travel back to Sacramento for Game 5 against the Kings at 7 p.m. PT on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center.
