Gonna be hard to hold down Fox now. He did quite well against the Spurs during that SAC win earlier this year. Will be interesting to see how that team's developed since then.

Damn, that sucks. Right heel soreness. I guess the good news is it's not the foot he injured in the preseason.
Let's hope it's not a lingering injury.
Well, .
I just hope it's not a plantar fasciia to his other heel this time.
What a terrible way to start the RRT.
Expecting an L without our most impactful player.
Maybe this will help DeMar getting going a little? Looking for silver lining, hard to find.
The one downside of Derrick White.... injury prone.
right after some dummy posted that "white is brandon roy"

I have had pain in the heel before. Went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Achilles Tendinitis. Took a month to recover from it. Hopefully it isn't that for Derrick.
It will be interesting to observe Pop's change in the starting line up. Is he going big starting Gasol/Poetl? Or is he going smaller with Bertans/Marco? Will Walker return to the guards rotation?
Without White, the Spurs are "defensively challenged" again. Somebody will have to step up in order to slow down the Kings. Who's guarding Fox, Forbes?
Spurs are not only losing his best perimeter defender but his point guard as well, so DeRozan has to run the offense again. DeMarr will probably have the ball on his hands more often and that should help him to find his game again. Hopefully, this is not affecting Aldridge's touches and contribution.
It won't be easy at Sacramento.
Well, Lonnie Walker IV will need to step up!
Agree hopefully get Demar going as facilitator.
Good. I hope they are outside of the playoffs when the road trip is over.
Yeah, but that's right this will put the ball in his hands much more.
This blows, hoping it’s just a game or 2 otherwise all that work to get in the middle of the standings will be wasted. He’s turned into a very important piece of this team. Get healthy soon DW
...probably one of our easiest games in the trip and it was going to be hard to begin with. It might be a disastrous trip.
Good thing for the long AS break (9 days off). But if they hold him out that long (2/22), that’s five games.
This is the best possible news for DD![]()
It really is telling that I would rather have DD injured than White.
It's not happening, but they should just start Walker and play him the first 5-6 minutes of the half (might have to cut it shorter in the 2nd half depending on how the game is going), as opposed to completely changing the look and feel of the team by starting traditionally or messing with the 2nd unit.
Given the upcoming schedule, this game doubly needs to be treated as a virtual must win. Throwing the first 5-6 minutes of each half in the garbage by playing politics could easily be costly.
Let's just hope regression to the mean is in full effect (Kings have outperformed their expected record by 3 games).
