If the Kings were to finish the season overall struggling like this with their new Fox/Sabonis core, but they had top-5 draft odds, would you feel better than Fox & Sabonis looking great together but with best odds at the 9th or 10th pick? – 9:02 PM

Aaron Wiggins sprained his right ankle earlier this season, and it looks like he just re-injured it. They’re taking him to the locker room. – 9:01 PM

Kings are actively trying to make the play-in game with All-Star Sabonis, Fox and Barnes.
And they’re getting beat by the Thunder’s G League squad. – 8:53 PM

Davion Mitchell guarded two guys on one possession and four on another. Defending at a really high level; doing as well as you can vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; seven points on 3-of-4 shooting; and politely asked the official about that block/charge call. – 8:51 PM

Would love to see the Kings challenge themselves to allowing less than 30 points in the first quarter. They always seem to give up a lot of points early before settling in. – 8:38 PM
