Massive Injury Update to De'Aaron Fox Revealed

The Golden State Warriors caught a huge break in the series against the Sacramento Kings, quite literally. The NBA world is shocked to hear that De'Aaaron Fox suffered a major injury at the end of Game 4 against the Warriors.

It was revealed that De'Aaaron Fox has suffered a fractured index finger in his left shooting hand and is expected to be listed as doubtful to play in Game 5 against the Warriors. The play seemed to appear towards the end of the fourth quarter in a very unexpected way.

The news couldn't have come at a worse time for the Sacramento Kings. They just lost at the buzzer against the Golden State Warriors in Game 4, and now have to return home for Game 5. The Warriors are a horrible team on the road, but now the Kings will likely miss their best player going into the game.

How important is this Game 5 for the Warriors and Kings? Since 2000, over 70% of NBA teams that win Game 5 ended up winning the series. It is even more critical when the series is tied 2-2, which is what this series is tied at.

De'Aaron Fox is going to try to play in Game 5, but he's listed as doubtful. Even if Fox does play, how much is it going to hamper his ability to play? It's going to be a very interesting Game 5 between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
