De'Aaron Fox's Status For Kings-Pacers Game
On Friday evening, the Sacramento Kings will be in Indianapolis to take on the Indiana Pacers.
However, they will be without their starting point guard De'Aaron Fox, as he has been ruled out due to personal reasons.
Underdog NBA: "De'Aaron Fox (personal) listed out for Friday."
The former Kentucky star is in the middle of a tremendous season with averages of 24.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per contest (while shooting 50.6% from the field).
In addition, the Kings are having one of their best seasons in years.
They come into Friday night's game with a 29-21 record in 50 games, which has them as the third seed in the Western Conference.
The franchise has not been to the postseason since 2006, so Fox has never made the NBA Playoffs.
That said, the drought looks likely to end during the 2023 season.
The Kings are in the middle of a two-game winning streak and are 7-3 in their last ten games.
On the road, they have been good, going 13-10 in the 23 games they have played away from Sacramento, California.
In November, the Kings hosted the Pacers and blew them out 137-114.
An astonishing 11 players on the Kings scored (in the victory).
Meanwhile, the Pacers are the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 24-29 record in 53 games.
They are 1-9 in their last ten games and in the middle of a four-game losing streak.
At home, the Pacers are 16-11 in 27 games hosted in Indianapolis.
