Sacramento Kings

Although De’Aaron Fox and trade deadline acquisition Domantas Sabonis played just 13 games together with the Sacramento Kings in 2022, the offensive synergy was instant. Each can effortlessly stuff a box score, with Fox’s pure scoring ability in the backcourt a seamless complement to Sabonis’ do-it-all approach down low. Both are skilled passers and efficient shooters, giving fans hope that this duo can snap a daunting playoff drought.In their fourth game as teammates against the Chicago Bulls, the pair wastes no time announcing their presence. Fox gets to the rim with ease, whether it’s finding his own shot in the paint with a scooping kiss off the glass or distributing to his new running mate in traffic. Meanwhile, Sabonis displays his elite athleticism by ripping away a lazy inbound pass and racing coast-to-coast for a one-handed slam. The pair combined for 55 points, 18 rebounds, 17 assists and four steals in the February 16, 2022 contest. In those 13 games together, Fox averaged 27.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, while Sabonis’ line was 18.1/11.8/5.8, including 10 double-doubles.
