SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Monday night's game was sort of a homecoming for Nik Stauskas.
The Sacramento Kings selected him with the eighth-overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft. But the honeymoon ended shortly after his arrival in the capital city of California. The team gave up on the shooting guard and shipped him to the 76ers after just one season.
Even though Stauskas takes the high road, he's always motivated to show the Kings they made mistake.
"There's always a part of you that you want to prove yourself," said Stauskas, who listed as probable for Monday's game against his former team at Golden 1 Center with a left knee bruise.
