Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) is not seen on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Fox acknowledged on Tuesday that he has been dealing with a right shoulder injury, but he'll continue to play through the issue on Thursday. The Spurs rank dead last against opposing point guards, according to DraftKings scoring, so the 26-year-old star guard is a confident start in all fantasy formats in a soft matchup.
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (illness) is doubtful heading into Thursday's meeting with the Spurs. He didn't practice on Wednesday, so most had assumed things were moving in this direction. However, now that he's officially doubtful, fantasy managers should start making alternative arrangements. Nonetheless, De'Aaron Fox should take on more of the scoring load without Sabonis in the mix. But guys like Malik Monk, Keegan Murray, and Harrison Barnes should also benefit offensively.
Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis (illness) did not practice Wednesday, and his status is in doubt for the team's game on Thursday against the Spurs. The 27-year-old's absence is concerning for his availability on Thursday, and it will be a situation worth monitoring up until game time. If Sabonis can't play, Trey Lyles, JaVale McGee, and Alex Len could potentially see increased minutes. Sabonis is averaging 20.1 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 35 minutes per game this season, and his absence would be a huge loss for the Kings.
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox has revealed he has been dealing with a right shoulder injury. Fox had a pair of strong outings right before the All-Star break, but he has been off his game lately, and the injury might be the reason why. However, Fox has luckily admitted that it's only a minor injury, so he's not in danger of missing any games, and hopefully, he will be back to his best soon. Fox averaged over 30 points for the first three months of the season, but his output dropped to 22.5 points in January, and he had notched 21.2 points in February before finding his stride again ahead of the break and totaling 70 points across two games.
Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran forward will sit this one out after being listed as questionable heading into the contest. Fellow forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) will also be sidelined during this game. That means Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray will likely be forced to play heavy minutes on Tuesday. Possibly, Chris Duarte sees an increased role, but he hasn't done enough to trust him as a streaming option.
