The Sacramento Kings This is not what it was supposed to look like This year.

And like theyre obviously dealing with some injuries now.

Deontas Sabo is out 3 to 4 weeks, but a 3-and 13 record per cleaning the glass.

27th on offense, 28th on defense, 29th in net ranking.

I wish there was more for me to point at.

It’s just made me feel sad.

So hopefully that adds some more joy to some The king watches, But, like, it’s just been tough.

Joy.

Wow.

Mhm.

Who else?
