Domantas Sabonis assesses where his Kings are at having experienced many ups-and-downs to start the season, now having won 3 of last 4 games, Malik Monk in the starting rotation and the schedule allowing for a lot of practice time over the next two weeks. pic.x.com/fgwOifiqOi – 5:29 PM

A lot to like about the win over the Jazz: great ball movement, Monk’s impact as a starter & Keegan’s defense.

More on this storyline
DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points, Domantas Sabonis had 22 points and 16 rebounds and the Sacramento Kings rolled to a 140-113 victory over San Antonio on Friday night, handing the Spurs their second straight loss without Victor Wembanyama. De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk added 22 points each for Sacramento, which had a season-high point total. San Antonio’s Julian Cham -via Seattle Post-Intelligencer / December 6, 2024
Remember when Kings owner Vivek Ranadive had a courtside party at the California Classic summer league when DeRozan agreed to join Sacramento? Those good vibes haven’t lasted. The Kings won Tuesday night at home against second-place Houston but have lost seven of their past nine games and are 12th in the West. Two months into the Kings’ season, league decision-makers are calling DeRozan’s fit clunky around All-Stars De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. “He is who he is,” a West executive said of DeRozan. “What he does takes away from what both Fox and Sabonis do because they tend to operate in the same areas on the court.” -via ESPN / December 6, 2024
