Hail, hail the gangs all here as Marvin Bagley III returned and De’Aaron Fox is set to return sometime this week.
The Kings stole one in clutch time versus the OKC Thunder (and you can bet Chris Paul wishes he had those dying seconds back). Yet, OKC wasn’t the only casualty of the Kings who enter week nine winners of four out of their last five games.
Two things pop to mind as Fox prepares to return.
One: will the Kings have the same issues with chemistry and timing as the Raptors did when re-integrating Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka?
Two: the bottom chase pack should be on alert as after Sacramento finishes their four-game road trip in week nine they’ll return home to play 10 of their next 12 games at home.
