Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox entered health and safety protocol Thursday afternoon, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Kings are already without interim coach Alvin Gentry and Marvin Bagley III whom they lost Wednesday.
Earlier today, the Kings were forced to cancel practice and close down their facility in midst of “growing concerns” the outbreak could lead to the postponement of future games. As COVID continues to wreak havoc across the NBA, as well as other major sports leagues, Sacramento is the latest franchise to take a hit.
Missing a coach is bad, but not impossible to work around.
