After back-to-back wins at home, the Golden State Warriors have the edge over the Sacramento Kings. Yes, it is all tied, but the momentum rests with the defending champions. A vital Game 5 awaits the NBA fans who have come to love the thrill and entertainment in this intense series. However, major news regarding the Kings’ star player sent shockwaves around the league recently. Clutch Player of The Year and the Kings’ leading star De’Aaron Fox had picked up an injury to his left hand in Game 3. Many saw this to be a potentially huge loss for the Kings, and it would have been. However, Fox’s ‘whatever it takes’ mindset earned him the respect of the fans, but it came at the cost of them ripping into Kawhi Leonard.

Fox has been at the forefront of this Sacramento renaissance. He led the Kings to a third-place finish and the franchise’s first Playoff appearance in almost two decades. Game 5 is only one night away, and the All-Star guard revealed a major update about his availability for the vital contest.

De’Aaron Fox will be there to face the Warriors

Heading into Game 5, Sacramento fans skipped a heartbeat. The injury report revealed the worst it could. De’Aaron Fox had a fractured left index finger. Considering it is his shooting hand, there was a feeling he might miss the crucial Game 5 battle against the Warriors. However, that was all it was, a mere worry for the fans.

In Fox’s mind, there was no alternative choice. “Right now, there?s no ifs, and, or buts, I’m playing.” said the Kings star while speaking to the media.

In what has been a career season for the 25-year-old, Fox displays a true core and attitude of a superstar. No matter what the injury, as long as he can run, De’Aaron Fox isn’t going anywhere. In his debut playoff series, the Kings guard has been nothing short of surreal. In four games, Fox is averaging 31.5 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds.

Rest assured, he isn’t going to miss this chance for anything. The Kings have the right pieces, the chemistry, and most importantly, they will witness Fox playing Game 5.

NBA Fans show Kawhi Leonard no mercy

It wouldn’t have been wrong if De’Aaron Fox decided to sit out and tend to his injury. Moreover, a broken finger could bother his rhythm all game long. However, what no injury is going to do is defeat the competitive spirit within Fox. And the NBA fans were ecstatic to see Fox’s warrior spirit.

Fans said: “Different breed”

“He, she, it, HIM. He?s HIM.”

“bros a dawg, you gotta respect it”

But that wasn’t all. They chose to target the Los Angeles Clippers’ cornerstone, Kawhi Leonard. After playing the first two games in the series against the Phoenix Suns, The Klaw injured his knee. Given his history with health, the two-time NBA champion decided to sit out for the playoff battle. Fans might have understood the situation before, but after Fox’s conviction, there was no saving Kawhi Leonard.

They said: “Kawhi would’ve sat out for 6 months until there’s zero pain”

“If only Zion and Kawhi had this mindstate?.”

“That?s a real superstar Kawhi take notes”

“Klaw take notes”
