There were questions swirling around the Kings as they took the floor to play the Houston Rockets on Saturday night after Yahoo Sports published a story asserting that philosophical differences might lead the organization to part ways with coach Dave Joerger.
The story, which was posted shortly before tip-off, cited unnamed league sources who said the organization is growing frustrated with Joerger over the allocation of minutes for some of the team’s young players, most notably prized rookie Marvin Bagley III.
Members of the Kings’ front office quickly went to work to respond to the story.
