De’Aaron Fox has made a big announcement regarding his status for Game 5.
Fox told reporters on Tuesday that he will be playing in Game 5 of his Sacramento Kings’ Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors. Fox will be playing through a fracture at the tip of his left index finger that was suffered in Game 4 on Sunday.
The Kings guard gave a very determined response regarding his status.
“There’s no if, ands or buts … I’m playing,” Fox said.
