The Sacramento Kings need as much help as they can get to get over the hump and make it back to the NBA Finals.
That’s why the team decided to honor Pope Francis by giving him a brand new jersey, with the team’s CEO calling him the newest member of the team’s fanbase (via Kings on NBC Sports).

After surprising the NBA last season by finishing third in the Western Conference, the Sacramento Kings have started this season 8-4, which puts them fourth in the West right now.
As they did last year, they have a very potent roster led by All-Stars De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, and their defense, which was rather poor during the 2022-23 campaign, seems to have improved at least somewhat.
But the Kings aren’t championship contenders, and as a result, according to Shams Charania, they will be active on the trade market while showing a pa ..read more

The Sacramento Kings have become one of the best teams in the West and once again have a legitimate shot of reaching the playoffs.
But even though the team has a loyal and robust fanbase, do athletes actually like playing in Sacramento?
Speaking on “Run It Back,” former NBA star Lou Williams said that “nobody’s just going to go” to Sacramento unless they are forced.
"Sacramento is one of the great places to play, great basketball environment…but nobody's just going to go."

The Sacramento Kings desperately needed a culture turnaround, and Mike Brown gave them just that.
The veteran coach was instrumental in the team’s new-found success, and he’s got all the players to buy in and run through a brick wall for him.
That’s why they got him — literally — a throne and gave it to him after he secured his 400th career regular-season win (via ClutchPoints).

The Sacramento Kings have only played three games so far this season but De’Aaron Fox is already doing great things.
He looked like a true star again on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers and helped the Kings secure a close overtime win.
During the first week of play, Fox has claimed the most points per game in the fourth quarter, according to StatMuse.
He has 12.3 points on average in the fourth, while Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks are hot on his heels with 12.

The Sacramento Kings are looking to build off their best season in almost two decades.
Unfortunately for them, they’ll likely have to do it without their best player, as De’Aaron Fox is likely to miss some time.
According to Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic, the All-Star avoided a “significant” injury, but he still sustained a “moderate” sprain of his right ankle during the win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The biggest surprise in the NBA last season was arguably the Sacramento Kings going from a team that always seemed to finish near the bottom of the standings in the Western Conference with the longest playoff drought in the league to the No. 3 seed.
Somehow, head coach Mike Brown, who went on to win NBA Coach of the Year, was able to get this team back on track, with De’Aaron Fox taking another step toward superstardom and Domantas Sabonis proving to be the perfect sidekick in Sacramento.
Even though a lot of people doubted the Kings’ ability to be ..read more

The Golden State Warriors have the undisputed No. 1 point guard in the world right now.
Stephen Curry has changed the game of basketball, and while some think he actually made it worse, he’s not to blame for that.
Despite still being in the league, Curry has already become an inspiration and a role model for some of his colleagues and players.
That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise to see that Sacramento Kings star PG De’Aaron Fox is about to sign a deal with the Stephen Curry brand to wear his signature Under Armor sneakers, according to a report by S ..read more

Over the last few years, Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox has gone from a good player to a bona fide star.
Last season, he seemed to finally get full recognition for his abilities, as he averaged 25.0 points and 6.1 assists a game while shooting a career-high 51.2 percent from the field and earning his first All-Star Game nod.
He was also the winner of the inaugural Clutch Player of the Year Award, as he helped the Kings to the third seed in the Western Conference and their first playoff appearance since 2006.
Fox talked about how he likes to ke ..read more

Last season was a banner year for De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings.
He had a career year, averaging 25.0 points on 51.2 percent field-goal shooting and 6.1 assists a game, which earned him his first All-Star game appearance and the NBA’s inaugural Clutch Player of the Year Award.
As a result, the Kings finished with a 48-34 record while leading the league in scoring, earning them the third seed in the Western Conference and giving them their first playoff berth in over 15 years.
It has given them elevated expectations for this season, and Fox says ..read more
