De'Aaron Fox Will Return Against Orlando

De'Aaron Fox Questionable Against The Magic
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Orlando Magic.

He appears to be trending in the right direction, so there's a good […]

It's always easier getting up to break down a slate of games after a winning night, that's for sure. Last night was actually my second strong night in a row and I was one point away from a clean sweep but the Miami-GSW game fell just short of its total. My record below only reflects […]

We are officially through one full week of games and already the number of injuries and players resting is mounting.

It's been a really fun start to the NBA season and personally, I have really enjoyed having the NBA grind back as part of my daily routine.

Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis didn't quite have the night he or anyone else expected on Wednesday.
