Per a report from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes, there is growing discord between the Sacramento Kings and head coach Dave Joerger. The crux of this rift seems to be Joerger’s preference of playing veterans like Nemanja Bjelica and Iman Shumpert over the younger options on Sacramento’s roster.
The Kings are off to their best start in years at 8-7. They had a successful East Coast trip and have been competitive in their games against Western Conference teams. Young players like De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield and Willie Cauley-Stein are playing the best basketball of their careers.
