Kings Get Results From MRI On Knee Of De'Aaron Fox

It's never a good thing to watch your star point guard leave the game limping with a knee injury. The Sacramento Kings sent De'Aaron Fox for an MRI today after he suffered an injury Monday night, and the results left them breathing a sigh of relief.  

Good news: MRI on Kings guard De’Aaron Fox’s right knee showed a bone bruise – no structural damage, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Fox will miss Wednesday’s game vs. Heat and his return will be based upon the resolution of symptoms, but there’s hope it could be soon.

As reported by NBA Insider Shams Charania, the MRI results on Fox’s right knee showed a bone bruise and no structural damage. He'll be out for their game Wednesday night but his return date isn't expected to be too far out.

Fox was injured when he tried to take a charge in Monday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets' Nick Richards.

To add insult to injury, Fox was actually called for a blocking foul instead of drawing the charge. He was visibly limping after the hit, and did not return.
