Brick by brick, step by step, De’Aaron Fox is building.  There’s his team, the Sacramento Kings. He’s their clutch architect, entrusted with the responsibility of winning close games.

The Sacramento Kings have started slow from an individual perspective but so long as they’re winning more games than they’re losing, head coach Luke Walton has got to be pleased. The team could look even scarier if Marvin Bagley takes a step forward in his own progression and if Hassan Whiteside carves out a meaninful […] The post Heat Check 2020-21: Sacramento Kings appeared first on SLAM ..read more

Pooh Jeter is many things: a Los Angeles native, a mid-major product and an overseas hoop legend, to name a few. And now you can add NBA player development coach and G League assistant GM to the list. But there’s one identifier that’s the foundation of Pooh’s entire existence. Above everything else, Pooh is a man of faith. He’s made it abundantly clear that he finds his life’s purpose in helping serve others and providing light in times of darkness. After a spectacular career at the University of Portland, the undersized point guard went undrafted in the 2006 NBA Draft. But his faith didn’t al ..read more

Believe it or not, the Sacramento Kings are off to a remarkable start to the 2022-23 season. With a record of 13-9, they are currently the fifth seed in the Western Conference. If things stay like this, the Kings can end their 16-year playoff drought, the longest playoff drought for any team in the NBA right now.  Everything is going right for this Sacramento team, and this is something that the franchise has been lacking for 16 long years. Kings head coach Mike Brown has been the missing leader this organization needed; De’Aaron Fox is quietly making a case for himself as an All-Star thi ..read more

The Brooklyn Nets remain a New York metro turnstile on defense, becoming the first NBA team to allow 150 this season. The 153 points the Kings scored were their highest output since 1993. The defense wasn’t the only problem; Brooklyn (6-9) trailed by as many as 39 points on a night where they just didn’t compete. Sacramento shot 10-12 during their game-deciding blitz late in the first half. They also hit 6-6 inside and three-point arc while forcing the Nets into 1-11 shooting and 1-8 in the paint during Sacramento’s decisive run. The Kings entered Tuesday winners of six of their last eight con ..read more

Aheah of Miami’s Friday night game against the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat star Tyler Herro shared his thoughts on the NBA’s travel call after his game-winning shot against the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night. “I really don’t care at all,” Herro said, per the Sun Sentinel. “Maybe if it ended in a loss, but we won — I’m just going to play my game, and if they call a travel, they call a travel.” The League announced the missed call a day after the game, as Herro picked up his dribble off a pump fake and changed his pivot in the motion of the three-point shot. We only needed 2, a Herro came to t ..read more

The Miami Heat seem to be figuring it out after their slow 1-3 start to the new NBA season. Even though the team is 3-5 in their first eight games, there is still a ton of optimism surrounding this Heat team because it’s still so early and no team in any conference seems to be a runaway front-runner to win it all yet. Last night’s 116-109 victory versus the Golden State Warriors was a huge statement win for Miami, as Kyle Lowry (13 points, nine assists, five rebounds) made history, passing Jason Kidd for 12th on the NBA’s all-time made three-pointers list after going 3-8 from beyond the arc.
