Fox will miss his fifth consecutive game after sustaining a sprained right ankle in the Kings' overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 29 while Lyles has yet to make his 2023-23 NBA season debut.
The Kings (3-4) are 1-3 without Fox this season after picking up a close 121-118 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center.
Fox is averaging 31.3 points, 6.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds in three games this season. Third-year pro Davion Mitchell had started each of the first three contests without Fox before guard Keon Ellis got the nod in the win over the Blazers.
