De’Aaron Fox shot 6-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves, amassing 15 points, two rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.
Fox put up a solid assist tally and didn’t miss a free throw, but the efficiency was lacking in Sacramento’s season opener. He was just 1-of-4 from beyond the arc, and adding DeMar DeRozan means the shots will be more evenly distributed among four of Sacramento’s five starters. Tallying more assists can protect some of Fox’s fantasy value, but the lineup change makes the percentages more critical. Also noteworthy from Thursday’s game was Fox exiting momentarily after banging knees with Donte DiVincenzo. While he did return to action, don’t be surprised if Fox shows up on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Lakers.
