Staggered De’Aaron Fox minutes also means he spends a lot of time playing with 2nd unit players. He’s been on the floor during a lot of their success. Also not a coincidence they are struggling without him. – 7:55 PM

During his hot streak, Malik Monk spent a lot of time on the floor with De’Aaron Fox. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he’s struggled these last two games with Fox out. – 6:54 PM

This was the win the Kings needed to somehow scrape out a solid 6 game road trip. Nothing will be easy, but they have secured that they return from the trip at .500. They need to build off the victory, with or without De’Aaron Fox in the lineup. – 10:32 PM

At this point of the season playing without De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis is taking over. Domas had a stellar game not only number wise, but also about his leadership on the floor. He steps up for the Kings as a leader and that’s big. #SacramentoProud #BeamTeam – 10:11 PM

Big win for the Kings in Cleveland without De’Aaron Fox. They closed on a 19-0 run. Held the Cavaliers to 15 fourth quarter points, zero in final 4:50. Six 3s for Keegan Murray, including huge one late. Domantas Sabonis: 19 pts, 18 rebs, 6 asts, 2 stl, 2 blk. Kings are 14-10. – 9:59 PM

‘Soreness’ wins its share on a Friday night in Cleveland, featuring two really good, exciting teams. Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Love, De’Aaron Fox and Terence Davis all out with it. Next men up. – 6:43 PM

Even a 50% De’Aaron Fox is hard to replace. Even when he isn’t scoring, his presence on the floor opens up opportunities for others.
Huge opportunity for Davion Mitchell tonight, but it’s on everyone to step up. – 6:33 PM

I’m told there’s still no official word on Kings guards De’Aaron Fox (foot) and Terence Davis (back) for tonight’s game against the Cavaliers. We’ll hear from Mike Brown in about 20 minutes. – 5:41 PM

More on this storyline
Jason Anderson: According to a league source, Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox participated in practice today after missing the past two games due to right foot soreness. Alex Len (illness) was the only player who didn’t practice. -via Twitter @JandersonSacBee / December 12, 2022
Rich Paul: But on the flip side, I think it’s been said—I’m not saying it, I think people have said it, and I think people feel it—that Klutch Sports Group is the most culturally relevant agency. And so when a player signs with Klutch, especially a player at a level of De’Aaron Fox, number one, it’s a shock, number two, it’s like, “Oh, they got another high level, All-Star-caliber guy.” And then number three, in his case, he was already playing with confidence. He’s already been a guy to fill up the stat sheet. They just wasn’t winning. Getting someone like Mike Brown, who’s a championship coach, and then [front office executives] Monte McNair and Wes Wilcox putting some guys on the floor that want to play every night, this is what you get. And for De’Aaron, it’s: “I feel great. I got a baby on the way. I’m married, I got a beautiful wife. I’m playing high-level basketball. We’re winning. It’s great. Why would I want to leave that?” -via GQ.com / December 12, 2022
