De’Aaron Fox has a confidence about him that makes you forget he’s only 19 years old, and has only played in 11 NBA games.
He says the moment is never too big for him, and he believes that. But it’s another thing to stay calm in a clutch situation, especially when he had been struggling with his shot.
Thursday night, Fox came through in the critical moment, providing a glimpse that he can be kind of transcendent player the Kings are banking on him becoming.
Fox elevated for a 19-foot jumper with 14.1 seconds to play, sinking it for a 109-108 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at Golden 1 Center, Fox’s first game winner in the NBA, and the Kings’ second consecutive win.
