De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) ruled out for Kings on Tuesday
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (left shoulder soreness) has been ruled out for Tuesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
The Kings have been eliminated from playoff contention, so they may also decide to hold Fox out from Thursday's finale against the Los Angeles Lakers. Richaun Holmes (hip) has been ruled out again and Kent Bazemore (calf) is questionable. DaQuan Jeffries could get an extended look after scoring a career-high 13 points (5-of-8 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 3-pointer in 29.8 minutes on Sunday. Buddy Hield, Yogi Ferrell, and Cory Joseph should also benefit.
Jeffries scored 21.4 FanDuel points on Sunday. Fox has led the Kings with a 29.9 usage percentage this season, per Basketball Reference, so his absence leaves a void on offense.
