The East and West clash as the Sacramento Kings take on the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams are middle of the pack in their respective conferences. However, the Kings’ opponents are having a worse time, unable to even crack 20 wins in the regular season. Although the Kings are not without their own problems, especially when it comes to their star man, De’Aaron Fox. 

There have been persistent rumors about Fox being traded away from the Kings. But let’s find the answer to a more pressing question amidst these rumors. That being, will De’Aaron Fox play against the Philadelphia 76ers?

Sacramento Kings injury report – will De’Aaron Fox play vs the Philadelphia 76ers?

The Sacramento Kings have turned in their injury report ahead of the Sixers game. And Kings fans rejoice! De’Aaron Fox will be available for Sacramento’s game against the 76ers. In fact, there aren’t too many players on the injury list for the Sacramento Kings. They have only named 3 players on their injury report.

The Sacramento Kings find themselves in this considerably fortunate position against Philadelphia. The only players OUT for the Kings are Isaiah Crawford, Isaac Jones, and Colby Jones and that’s because they have G League duties to fulfill. It’s quite rare that teams in the NBA have no players missing through injury. Their opponents, the 76ers are yet to submit an injury report.

However, it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows in Sacramento as they may have to soon cope with the reality of losing De’Aaron Fox. His agent recently informed the team that it may be in their best interests to move him. And a few possible suitors have popped up for Fox’s signature.

The San Antonio Spurs, and a team-up with Victor Wembanyama is a tantalizing prospect. Another potential destination could be the Miami Heat. Given their Jimmy Butler woes, they’d love to have a player of Fox’s quality. The Houston Rockets were reportedly interested too but they’d rather wait till next season to pursue Fox. All in all, it seems like Fox’s days at the Kings are numbered. 

Kings vs 76ers – predicted starting lineups and depth chart

Given the Kings have barely any players missing, they are expected to field their strongest lineup against the Sixers. Let’s see who’ll be on the court on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers haven’t had the best injury record this season. With injuries in the past to key players like Joel Embiid, Jared McCain, Caleb Martin, and more, they likely will be shorthanded against the Kings.  Despite not having submitted an injury report let’s try to predict their starting lineup against the Kings using their last game as a baseline.
