A phrase written atop the dry-erase board in the Sacramento Kings’ locker room captured a sense of what interim coach Doug Christie apparently wants to do. With a version of language that, let’s just say, might not be acceptable to everyone, the message was to do anything but relax.

Based on what he saw in a 132-122 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers after what he described as a “crazy 24 hours” following the firing of Mike Brown, interim coach Doug Christie thinks the Sacramento Kings are capable of turning things around.

After the win, Christie talked about Fox’s talent reaching new heights, per Ballislife’s X, formerly Twitter. “De’Aaron Fox is elite. His competitive nature is just high level. He’s finding his way in front of our very eyes. It’s huge. I just hugged him and said, ‘I love you man. Thank you.’”
