De'Aaron Fox
De’Aaron Fox’s presence for the Sacramento Kings needs no introduction. Although one might state how the 25-year-old Point Guard is yet to fulfill his potential and expectations for his current team, it seems like Fox is just answering all his critics in the 2022-23 NBA Season.
The most recent scenario to justify this claim comes from the Kings’ latest encounter against the Utah Jazz, wherein De’Aaron Fox scored the game-winner go-ahead jumper with only four-tenths of a second remaining on the clock, to register the 20th win for his team in the current season. As a result of which, the Sacramento Kings are now 2 wins behind 4th seed Dallas Mavericks.
Moreover, the Kings have now secured first place in the Pacific Division (a title that they can potentially win for the first time in 20 years) with a dramatic win over Jazz. Fox finished the spoken-off showdown in Salt Lake City with game-high 37 points for the away team. He also had 6 assists and 2 blocks.
With Fox hitting 15 of his 22 field goal attempts, the Kings outshot the Jazz 53.5 percent to 43.2 percent.
Domantas Sabonis chipped in with 21 points to complement game-highs in 17 rebounds and 8 assists. Harrison Barnes added 19 points, while Keegan Murray and Kevin Huerter chipped in with 16 apiece for the away team, in a nail-biting contest.
On the other hand, Lauri Markkanen dropped Jazz-high 28 points and was supported well by Jordan Clarkson, who dropped 24 points. While Mike Conley had 18 with team-high 7 assists on Tuesday Night.
