Is De'Aaron Fox playing today against Chicago Bulls? Latest on Sacramento Kings All-Star's availability (Jan. 12)

The Sacramento Kings are set to face the Chicago Bulls on Sunday but the participation of star point guard De'Aaron Fox remains uncertain. Fox has missed Sacramento's last three games due to a right glute contusion and is listed as "questionable" on the team's injury report.

While the one-time All-Star has yet to fully recover, Kings fans remain hopeful that Fox will be ready to return to action on Sunday. The former Kentucky standout last played in the Kings' 138-133 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 3.

In that game, Fox logged 40 minutes and contributed 23 points, three rebounds, five assists and three steals, shooting 7 of 23 from the field, including 1 of 8 from beyond the arc.

Despite De'Aaron Fox’s absence, the Kings have performed admirably, winning all three games without their star guard. The team has shown remarkable improvement since Doug Christie took over as head coach, replacing Mike Brown. Sacramento boasts a 6-1 record under Christie and is currently riding a six-game winning streak, the longest active streak in the Western Conference.

With a 19-19 record through 38 games, the Kings have climbed to ninth place in the standings, revitalizing their season under Christie’s leadership.

With Fox's return on the horizon, the Kings are poised to elevate their performance even further. With renewed confidence in the locker room, the team promises to be an exciting watch for basketball fans.
