Will De'Aaron Fox play tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers? Latest update on the Sacramento Kings star's injury report (January 29, 2025)

As the Sacramento Kings (24-22) prepare to take on the Philadelphia 76ers (18-27) on Wednesday, January 29, at Wells Fargo Center, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as De'Aaron Foxis not on the injury report. With tip-off set for 7:30 PM ET, the Kings enter the matchup at full strength, while the 76ers grapple with multiple absences.


The Sacramento Kings has a clean bill of health heading into this game which is a rarity in the grueling NBA season. De'Aaron Fox, who leads the team with 25.2 points per game, will be available, ensuring the Kings have their top scorer in action. His presence is critical as Sacramento looks to improve its position in the Western Conference standings.
Beyond De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis continues to be a dominant force on the boards, leading the league with 14.6 rebounds per game. The Kings' offense, which ranks sixth in the NBA with 116.9 points per game, will be at full capacity, a key advantage against a depleted 76ers squad.


Unlike the Kings, Philadelphia is dealing with significant injury concerns. Reigning MVP Joel Embiid is sidelined with a knee injury, leaving the 76ers without their best player. Rookie guard Jared McCain is out for the season with a meniscus injury, further depleting their depth.
Additionally, Paul George (illness), Caleb Martin (groin), Andre Drummond (toe), and Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) are all listed as day-to-day. With uncertainty surrounding their availability, the 76ers will rely heavily on Tyrese Maxey, who is averaging 27.1 points per game, to carry the offense.

Sacramento enters this contest in better form, both in terms of roster health and performance. They boast a positive scoring differential (+2.3 points per game) compared to the 76ers' -3.9. The Kings also hold a rebounding edge, grabbing 44.7 boards per game compared to Philadelphia’s league-worst 39.1.
The Kings have a great chance to win a vital game on the road if there are no injury setbacks. Malik Monk and Keegan Murray offer more firepower, but Fox and Sabonis will be crucial in setting the pace.
