No surprise
*pretends to be shocked*
Game 5 will be generational (and stressful as fuck)
Not surprised at all. Glad he’s playing but let’s beat ‘em at their home court

And sky is blue
Kings screwing hard with the lines for tomorrow’s game by ever listing him as doubtful has to piss Vegas off. Questionable, sure that would have made perfect sense, but doubtful is 25% odds of playing.
Edit: and now Warriors are down to -1.5 odds. Like I said, screwing with the lines hard.
Edit 2: from [Twitter](https://twitter.com/seancunningham/status/1650962774422589441?s=46&t=SBW3XJi-eEDBr6FtvDfngg)
“Quotes from De’Aaron Fox after practice today:
“I’m like 99-100% playing….No if’s and’s or but’s.”
**Said if Game was today, he would play.**”
He was literally officially doubtful as recently as an hour ago. Lol do they not understand the seriousness of injury report designations in the age of sports betting?!
Edit: for those who keep saying who cares about Vegas?! A. I personally don’t, I merely find the market dynamics of it all fascinating but B. The league’s partners are FanDuel and DraftKings; FanDuel and DraftKings = Vegas; therefore, what Vegas cares about = what the league cares about.
It was so obvious he was going to play. This is not our first rodeo dealing with opposition teams reporting injuries and trying to over exaggerate it
Kings are so pathetic with all the shady injury designations, insane how afraid they are to be resorting to all that

Unless one of them has a broken spine, they’re gonna play, they may as well not bring it up.
Shocking to noone. Kings PR been hella sus from the jump re: Sabonis sternum contusion
It was obvious to everyone.
Fox is a great player and the Kings have done an amazing job, but why the hell are they playing with the injured list as a tactic like this?
Haters will still find a way to cry and bitch abt the warriors being “lucky” 😂😂😂
No shiet boy
No shit Sherlock. Lol.
I’ll be at game 5 tomorrow. Not a kings fan or warriors fan but i pull for the warriors because these kings fans in sac are irritating. I moved to sac in 2016, not a peep, all of a sudden there’s billions sacrificing their life to the beam

Absolutely shocking to no one.
what a series of a waste of tweets
Shocking.
Shocked Pikachu face!!!
In other news, water is wet.
Ya, 16 years without making it to the playoffs, there’s no way he’s sitting out a game in a series this close.
DUHHHHH
Bro Ja out here playing with a cast aint no way he sitting out for a lil finger tip lmao
