Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox spoke to the media on Monday for the first time since injuring his right hand during March 16th’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

During his end-of-season press conference, Fox shed light on a variety of topics, including:

The status of his right hand and long-term diagnosis of the injury
Feelings towards another losing season that has added to a 16-year playoff drought
How he felt playing alongside center Domantas Sabonis
His thoughts on wanting to build a winner in Sacramento
Reflecting on Alvin Gentry’s time as head coach
Would he want to be consulted during the front office’s coaching search?

Highlights

"It's definitely been difficult, but like I have always said, you want to be a part of that team that turns things around. I want to be a winner…If you change that here, it isn't like changing it anywhere else." – De'Aaron Fox on the postseason drought
