SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento Kings coach Dave Joerger addressed reporters late Tuesday night, fans filing out of a mostly empty Golden 1 Center after another surreal night where protests became more salient than the final score.
"The bigger issue," he said amid his own anger rising from his team's performance, "is that we couldn't get friends and family members (into the arena). So your biggest concern before you play a game is, 'Is my family OK?' "
And so it may be again Thursday, when the Kings (24-51) take the home floor for the third-to-final time this season against the Indiana Pacers.
