In Sacramento’s world, stars are not easy to come by. When they do, we cherish them for however long they don the purple and white because the stars are the only glimpses of hope to cling onto as this thirteen year playoff drought continues to plague the city.
With last year’s season being a strong outlier in a massively forgettable period of time, the hopes and expectations were higher than they ever have been.
Then the Kings started 0-5 while losing the 2018 #2 overall pick Marvin Bagley for 4-6 weeks. Right when they snapped out of their horrid start and seemed to be capable of playing competent basketball for multiple games in a row, an unknown member of the team committed vulpicide as Will pointed out and De’Aaron Fox, the 2017 #5 overall pick, is likely out until around the All-Star break.
