The All-Star starters were announced Thursday, and unsurprisingly, no Kings made the cut. However, there is a chance that De’Aaron Fox cracks the list of reserves as the first Sacramento All-Star since 2017. In an All-Star column on NBC Sports, Dan Feldman writes this about Fox:
Kings guard De’Aaron Fox should obviously be an All-Star this year. Everyone with his stats (23.2 points per game and 6.8 assists per game, 52.8 effective field-goal percentage) over a full season has been an All-Star.
The only problem? Feldman notes that 77 players have similar statistical cases to be All-Stars.
