Kings-Bulls Injury Report: De'Aaron Fox, Alex Caruso Status Update
It's been an up-and-down stretch for the Sacramento Kings as of late, as they've sustained a 5-5 record across their last ten. Going into the final lap of the NBA season, this team will have to kick into high gear to avoid falling into the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Monday presents a perfect opportunity to build some momentum as they face off against the Chicago Bulls.
In the last time these two squads matched up against each other, the Kings took care of business in February, taking home a win in the United Center, 123-115. Sacramento has won their past four matchups against this team, so the goal will be to continue that level of recent dominance.
Both teams unveiled their injury reports before tonight's contest, with the Kings showing a glimmer of home as it pertains to De'Aaron Fox:
Sacramento Kings:
De'Aaron Fox- QUESTIONABLE (knee)
Sasha Vezenkov- OUT (ankle)
Chicago Bulls:
Alex Caruso- QUESTIONABLE (hamstring)
Patrick Williams- OUT (foot)
Torrey Craig- OUT (knee)
Zach LaVine- OUT (foot)
Lonzo Ball- OUT (knee)
The Kings could finally get to see their star guard back in the lineup, considering Fox is listed as questionable ahead of the contest. James Ham of ESPN 1320 reported that De'Aaron was a full participant during Sacramento's Sunday practice, providing some optimism surrounding his status. As for Sasha Vezenkov, he remains inactive as he rehabs from his ankle sprain.
On the other hand, the Bulls are dealing with an array of injuries across the board. Alex Caruso may see the floor considering he's listed as questionable, but Patrick Williams and Torrey Craig have both been announced as out. Guards Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine also remain inactive after their season-ending surgeries.
The Kings and Bulls will tip off on Monday night in the Golden One Center at 7 PM PT.
