De'Aaron Fox has been added to the Sacramento Kings' injury report for Wednesday night against the defending champions Denver Nuggets. Fox was listed as questionable and is now ruled out for his first game since Dec. 16 when he was dealing with a shoulder issue.
The Kings had their three-game winning snapped on Monday night by a short-handed Miami Heat team, 121-110. The Kings were at full strength, while the Heat were missing Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, Thomas Bryant and Nikola Jovic.
Fox ended the game with 27 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. He shot 13-for-24 but failed to get draw fouls and go to the charity stripe. He also had seven turnovers, which were turned into points by a tough Miami squad.

What happened to De'Aaron Fox?
De'Aaron Fox was listed as questionable by the Sacramento Kings on their injury report. He's dealing with a left knee contusion, which means he could miss the game against the Denver Nuggets.
The 26-year-old guard reportedly suffered the injury on Monday in the loss to the Miami Heat. He bumped knees with Jaime Jaquez Jr. in the first quarter but played through the injury. He will likely get evaluated before tip-off and will be a game-time decision.
Fox has only missed six games this season, five of which came in November when he sprained his ankle. His shoulder issue, as mentioned above, was just a minor injury, as he only missed one contest.
