A frustrated David Fizdale lashed out at a reporter who questioned the amount of minutes RJ Barrett played after the Kings’ recent blowout of the Knicks, lambasting as ridiculous such inquiries about a 19-year-old who had the next day off.
Chaos ensued on social media, with some criticizing the workload Fizdale is giving Barrett and others critiquing the criticism. Much of this probably boils down to distress over the team’s record early in the season, which at 1-6 is currently worst in the NBA. But it’s always worthwhile to question authority, and in this case the authority-in-question is Fizdale.
