The hits keep coming for the Kings.
Just as Buddy Hield and Jabari Parker returned to the floor, the Kings announced Wednesday that point guard De'Aaron Fox sprained his left ankle in practice and will be re-evaluated in seven-to-10 days.
Fox, the Kings' leader in both scoring and assists on the season, missed 17 games this season after sustaining a Grade 3 sprain on the same ankle in November. It took him time to regain his strength in the ankle once he returned, but the 22-year-old was rolling by the time the season was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Kings didn't specify what grade sprain Fox sustained on Wednesday, but the injury was severe enough to warrant an MRI. His status will be updated sometime next week.
Fox, 22, is averaging a career-high 20.7 points per and 4.0 rebounds per game this season, as well as 6.8 assists.
