With a tour opening for Taylor Swift on their calendar, Muna shouldnhave a huge year…How do you think the set went (on weekend one)?Not going to lie we think it went very well, haha.

I think we did a good job, I’m proud of us.The crowd was thick, well outside of the tent. Were you surprised to see it so packed?We couldn’t even see that far back, really! But yeah, we were shocked.Were you able to check anyone else out, or are you going to on weekend two?Yeah, we stayed to see Wet Leg whom we love.

After practice concluded, Fox told reporters he plans to play.“I don’t think it’s a big deal, but obviously depending on how much it gets hit and things like that, then I feel like the pain will increase,” Fox said. “But if it was to stay the exact same way it is right now, I’ll be fine.”Fox appeared to injure his finger with 4:35 left in Sunday’s game when he drove past Jordan Poole and drew a foul, then attempted a post-whistle layup over Kevon Looney, who swiped at the ball.

(AP) — If the decision about whether De’Aaron Fox can play through a broken index finger on his shooting hand is up to Fox, there is no doubt.“Right now, there’s no ifs, ands or buts,” he said Tuesday. “I’m playing.”While the Sacramento Kings are still calling Fox’s status for Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night “doubtful,” all signs are pointing to the star point guard giving it a shot with the first-round series tied at two games apiece.Fox took part in a non-contact practice with a splint on his left index finger and then spent significant time afterward working on his shooting to get prepared for playing with a splint in a real game.Fox said he had no problems dribbling and passing and the biggest question was making sure he could deal with the pain and make his shot.He said he felt optimistic after the swelling in the finger went down in the past day and the pain has become manageable.“At the end of the day, I’m fine,” he s...
