Sacramento Kings Star Confirms He's Playing In Game 5

The Sacramento Kings took a commanding 2-0 lead against the Golden State Warriors in their first round series, but after falling in both games on the road, the series once again shifts to Sacramento, turning it into a three-game set now, with the Kings desperate to knock off the defending Champions. 

This makes Game 5 arguably the most important in the entire series, and fortunately for the Kings, superstar De'Aaron Fox has confirmed that despite his injury left index finger, he'll be playing in the must-win matchup.

In four games thus far, Fox is averaging 31.5 PPG, 6 RPG and 7 APG in his first playoff appearance of his young career, and if the Kings can get some performances around him, this should be a thrilling finish to what has been a very competitive series thus far.
