Is De’Aaron Fox playing tonight against the New York Knicks? Latest injury update on Kings guard (Jan. 25)

De’Aaron Fox is listed as questionable on the Sacramento Kings’ injury report for their game against the New York Knicks on Saturday. Fox has a sprain on his right thumb. A final call on his game availability is expected to be taken after the morning shootaround or close to tipoff.

While Fox has been dealing with a pinky injury for most of the season, the thumb injury is a new development. He recently missed three games during Sacramento’s seven-game win streak with a hip injury.

Sacramento has been on a tear since firing coach Mike Brown and replaced him with interim coach Doug Christie. The Kings have won eight of their past 10 games and climbed up the Western Conference standings. However, since they started slow, they are still ninth in the standings with a 23-21 record.

De’Aaron Fox played for the Kings in their 132-123 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. He had 17 points on 7-of-24 shooting. He averages 25.4 points, 6.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 41 games this season. Fox is Sacramento’s only injury concern for Saturday's game.

On the New York side of things, Josh Hart is questionable with a knee injury. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Kevin McCullar Jr. (knee) continue to be out.
