Since the Sacramento Kings parted ways with head coach Mike Brown, star player De’Aaron Fox has found himself at the center of speculation. Many believe Fox’s meeting with the Kings’ front office about his future in Sacramento played a role in Brown’s dismissal.
Former NBA star Lou Williams shared on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back that he heard there was tension between Fox and Brown. According to Williams, Fox was reportedly unhappy about being singled out by Brown. He also mentioned hearing that Brown may have suggested DeMar DeRozan take on a bench role, which allegedly caused friction within the team.
However, Fox wasted no time addressing these rumors. On Monday, he took to social media to firmly deny the claims made by Williams.
There was never any push back about anything. This narrative of us butting heads or me going to management saying anything is bullshit. So you can run with that if you want to. https://t.co/z5rBpWmail

The firing shocked many across the league. Because it came midway through the season with Brown still under a three-year contract. With Brown’s departure, interim head coach Doug Christie has stepped in to lead the team.
