In a perfect basketball world, the Kings would be some amount of games over .500 with De’Aaron Fox building his All-Star campaign and Marvin Bagley III proving the organization didn’t make a catastrophic mistake in the 2018 NBA Draft, but Kings fans don’t live in a perfect basketball world. Marvin Bagley played just one game this season before fracturing his thumb, and just as the Kings were starting to turn this season around, De’Aaron Fox suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain in practice on Monday.
The good news is that the Kings are playing some good basketball right now, and have seemingly recovered from a disappointing 0-5 start with 4 wins in their last 5 games, and the second best offense in the NBA over the last two weeks, per Cleaning The Glass.
