De’Aaron Fox says it ‘feels great’ to snap 16-season playoff drought
Mar 30, 2023, 8:28 AM
“Now they can’t say it anymore.”
De’Aaron Fox, the longest-tenured player on the Sacramento Kings, shared his thoughts on the team ending a 16-season playoff drought following Wednesday’s 120-80 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Sacramento has clinched an appearance in the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2006, ending the longest active drought in North American sports.
Relocation threats. A revolving door of head coaches. Numerous roster overhauls. Failed draft picks. Dashed hopes.
Sacramento’s road back to the NBA Playoffs has been one that was full of pain and chaos, but they have finally reached their destination. https://t.co/2tMo0DTdGZ…
