Hope it’s short term. Never really know with this team and injuries though.

The first timeline that showed up on google was 1-2 months to fully heal. That was on a legitimate medical site. Not sure if it’s a pain management thing or not

 

[iowamcnabb]

If that is correct we are talking missing 14-28 games. Hope I’m way off on that

They have Lyels (foot) as questionable on the injury report too.

Miami
Lyles had 10 and 5 in 18 mins against Miami.
Fox shut down Herro because no one else could.

Joel Embiid missed 10 games last year with a similar Injury. That may be good news

I remember Bagels missed a large chunk with a bone bruise… but I just associated that chunk of time because it was Bagels and less the actual injury.

Season over if he’s missing more than 5-10 games. I’m so over this BS happening to us

Hopefully our training staff doesn’t suck like they normally do. Didn’t we hire new people? Idk.

IMHO, I predict that Davion Mitchell will step up big and fill Fox's shoes quite well.

Huerter, Keegan and Sabonis is going to make up the scoring void. I think the Kings will stay around .500 and stay in the playoff picture, while Fox is out.

I hope so!! We definitely have talent. Just hate some of our bad luck over the years

in true Kings fashion, when a Kings player plays well, an injury is imminent

I had a bruised kneecap that took a year to heal, it was fine when I sprinted but burned like hell during distance running/jogging. Probably gone for 5-10 games since he has a pro medical staff focused only on his knee.

Right? It's absurd....we just NEVER get any breaks.

Sean Cunningham said on his podcast that he got the impression from the team that this was a minor thing and he speculated Fox could return for the Golden State game

 

[Chupacabra]

Makes me very thankful that we drafted Mitchell. He went off against Charlotte because the absence of Fox required him to unleash his game. I look at the starting lineup with Mitchell in Fox's place and it's still a good unit but with better defense; less dynamic offensively, but then again there are still multiple guys that can score.

Hopefully with his last game and now a couple games starting, Davion will really start to settle in. I'd love to see him build some chemistry with Domas that will help us longer term this year.

I trust davion will do just fine and we just may be surprised how well his defense will help the starters. If he is on the floor for 25 minutes or more that will be a good sign.

As much as I want to believe it, I'm not totally convinced Davion's defensive impact in the NBA is as good as his reputation. I know it's hard for stats to totally capture defensive value, and "defensive rating" has a fair amount to do with the other players on the floor, but his stats don't jump out as significantly better than fox this year. He definitely has his "off-night" moments when he really tears into someone defensively, but play over play is he really making an overall defensive impact when he's on the floor?

I'm not down on Davion at all, just wondering if I'm missing his overall defensive impact or if there is still more to come as he continues to adjust to the NBA game.

I totally understand it’s just my hopes get expressed sometimes before the reality sets me straight again.
sometimes hope is all I have. LOL
