Despite the constant rumors of the Kings wanting to trade him and Doug Christie's reported dislike of the young player, Keon Ellis played an incredible game for the Sacramento Kings last night. His defensive prowess was on full display, further proving how ridiculous trading him is.
Facing off against the Denver Nuggets for the fourth time in less than two months, fans expected a tough fight. And they got one. Nikola Jokic and friends went to work, ultimately defeating the Kings 136 to 105. Keep in mind Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, and Dennis Schroder were all injured.
