De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk were one Luke Maye last-second shot away from taking Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four in 2017. Fast forward six years later and the lethal scoring duo is looking to make another deep run for a championship, only this time with hopes of making it far enough to win the whole thing.
Fox and Monk are once again teammates, playing alongside each other for the Sacramento Kings, which has shocked the entire NBA world with its impressive play throughout the 2022-23 season. Sacramento is third in the Western Conference with a 43-29 record, locking up a winning record for the first time since 2005-06.
