Fox averaged 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in that small sample size (6-11 record). To open this season, the former King scored 24 points on 9-of-14 from the field, 2-of-5 from three and 4-of-5 from the line, to go along with three rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes against New Orleans.
