It looks like De’Aaron Fox could return to action as soon as this week.
The freshman point guard shed his walking boot Monday and was seen around campus without it. He was also present for Monday’s meeting with the media. Though he didn’t speak, Fox was seen walking with his ankles taped and shoes in hand as he made his way to practice.
It’s unclear if Fox did practice, and assistant coach Kenny Payne said as much to the media. Still, just seeing Fox walking around with no boot suggests it was nothing more than a low-grade sprain, not the high-ankle variety that could sideline him for several weeks.
