Domantas Sabonis shares confidence in De’Aaron Fox prior to Game 5

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis is no stranger to playing through a hand injury, and the All-Star shared his confidence in teammate De’Aaron Fox before facing the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs on Wednesday night.

Fox, who fractured the tip of his left index finger during Sunday’s loss in San Francisco, is planning on playing through the injury as the Kings hope to take a 3-2 series lead at Golden 1 Center.

Sabonis has played most of this season with an avulsion fracture to his right hand, which has made his impressive season even more of an incredible feat.

The big man spoke to the media on Wednesday morning as Sacramento prepared for a massive Game 5 on their home floor:

Kings guard Kevin Huerter also spoke to the media following shoot-around as ‘Red Velvet’ shared his thoughts on Fox’s injury, his playoff shooting struggles, and much more.
