Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox just missed in his bid to advance in the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday Night at the Spectrum Center.
Fox went into the event as the favorite, but he was eliminated in a tough first-round matchup with Atlanta Hawks rookie Trae Young after missing his first 3-point attempt.
“I was really trying to win,” Fox said. “I’m really mad, but I’m hiding it inside.”
Young went on to reach the finals and opened a big lead over Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, but Tatum prevailed when he made a half-court shot to win it.
