Despite the injury, Fox played the remainder of the game and even hit a clutch 3-pointer with less than a minute to play to pull the Kings within one.

Golden State was able to overcome Steph Curry’s mistaken time out call in the final seconds to hold off the Kings 126-125 Sunday to even up their first round NBA Western Conference playoff showdown.

Fox finished with 38 points, nine rebounds and five assists in another stellar performance. The Kings will struggle to replace that production if he can’t go in Game 5 on Wednesday. The series is set to return to Chase Center in San Francisco on Friday.
