Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown spoke to the media on Wednesday and shared his approach to the final 25 games of the season, discussed the possibility of Jordi Fernández becoming a head coach, and broke down his practice schedule for the team.

Fernández, who has been Brown’s lead assistant on his bench, was recently named as a candidate for the Atlanta Hawks’ head coaching position after the team fired Nate McMillan on Tuesday.

Sacramento will return to action on Thursday night when they face one of the teams beneath them in the standings as Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers come to Golden 1 Center. The Kings will be playing the first game of a back-to-back before heading to Los Angeles for a matchup with the new-look Clippers on Friday.
