After missing Monday night’s game due to left hamstring soreness, Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox says that he is ready to make his return on Thursday night.

Fox, who says that he is feeling “100 percent” after resting his hamstring, is likely to take the floor on Thursday night when the Kings face the New York Knicks on TNT.

The first-time All-Star is averaging 26.5 points, 6.9 assists, and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 56 percent from the field over his past nine appearances.

"Playoffs… PLAYOFFS?"

Yeah. Playoffs.

The Sacramento Kings are closing in on securing the franchise's first postseason berth in 16 years, and the team's chances of securing home court advantage are very real.

Next Game

Sacramento’s four-game home stand will conclude on Thursday night when De’Aaron Fox and the Kings face the New York Knicks at Golden 1 Center in front of a national TV broadcast.

The Kings will be on TNT for the second time this season after the NBA chose to flex Thursday’s matchup to a national broadcast in light of Sacramento and New York’s recent impressive play.
