Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox is young, handsome and charismatic. He has a friendly demeanor and a smile so bright he could star in Colgate commercials.
But he probably won’t be getting an endorsement deal from one of California’s most popular burger joints anytime soon.
Fox was speaking to the media Saturday morning, several hours before he was scheduled to compete in the All-Star Saturday Night Skills Challenge, when he made some potentially controversial comments.
Fox was asked if, after living in California for two years, he had taken a liking to In-N-Out Burger, which was founded in Baldwin Park in 1948 and gained popularity throughout the state before expanding to Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Arizona and even Texas.
