Despite the Sacramento Kings defeating the Heat in Miami for the 2nd straight season (the first time the Kings have every accomplished such a feat in franchise history), fans were left wondering about their health of their point guard De’Aaron Fox, who appeared to injure his back late in the game.

According to the team this morning, Fox suffered a strained lower back and is questionable for tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Fox is tied with Buddy Hield as the Kings’ top scorer, averaging 18 points a game. He is also managing seven assists, four rebounds, and a steal in a team-leading 32 minutes a night.

The Kings, 4-3, are off to their best start since the 2014-15 season. They take on the 2-4 Orlando Magic, who are coming off a 113-91 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, tonight at 4pm.
