De’Aaron Fox appears to have injured his left finger on the drive at the 4:35 mark of the 4th quarter of Game 4 against Kevon Looney.
From that moment on, he never appears to grab at his finger the rest of the way from what I witnessed. Adrenaline may have played a big role. pic.twitter.com/AdiZKEY6kP – 4:42 PM

If for some reason you still can’t appreciate De’Aaron Fox for the star he is, just know he did what he did at the end of Game 4 yesterday with the injury to his shooting hand and nobody knew about it. – 3:56 PM

Knowing De’Aaron Fox, he’s going to basically demand to play if there’s any chance he can go. He’s played banged up a lot through his career.
Sometimes the team has to protect the player, even if they want to suit up. We will have to wait & see how serious the injury is. – 3:39 PM

Re: De’Aaron Fox: The nature of the break and any associated soft tissue damage will influence recovery. @wojespn reporting the break is to the tip of his finger, medically known as the distal phalanx. Fox may play with the area splinted but that could easily impact his shot. – 3:34 PM

More on this storyline
We’ll spend these next two days waiting for an answer to that question, but a Kings source framed it like this: There is internal optimism that De’Aaron Fox will try to play, but the medical folks are still in the process of determining what is possible or how that might look. The fact that it’s on his shooting hand is obviously a significant factor here. -via The Athletic / April 24, 2023
Shams Charania: The Kings All-Star guard is believed to have sustained the injury midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Game 4 and played through it. Fox had 38 points, nine rebounds and five assists on Sunday. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 24, 2023
Adrian Wojnarowski: Kings guard De’Aaron Fox fractured the very tip of his left index finger in Game 4, but there’s still hope he will try and play Game 5 on Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. Fox would need to play with a protective covering on the finger. He will be listed as doubtful. -via Twitter @wojespn / April 24, 2023
