Sam Amick on DeMar DeRozan’s ‘wonderful’ fit with the Kings

The Sacramento Kings’ offseason addition of DeMar DeRozan looks better with each passing game.

Not only has DeRozan set a franchise record with eight consecutive 20+ point performances to start his Kings career, but Sacramento (5-3) is also playing a winning brand of basketball as they will enter play on Friday having won five of their past six games.

The Athletic’s Sam Amick joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross to share his thoughts on DeRozan’s fit with the Kings, dive into the Joel Embiid situation as he goes through a suspension for shoving a reporter, and much more.

More NBA coverage from Sactown Sports

Through the first three-plus quarters of action on Wednesday night, the Sacramento Kings appeared to be on their way to a disappointing loss on its home floor.

Thankfully for the Kings, they flipped the switch just in time to avoid another loss to the Toronto Raptors, winning by a final of 122-107 at Golden 1 Center.

DeMar DeRozan came up big in crunch time (again), Domantas Sabonis posted a triple-double (again), and Sacramento improved to 5-3 on the season–the franchise’s best eight-game start since the 2018-19 campaign.

Following an 0-2 start, the Kings have won five of their past six games as they continue to pick up steam during the opening stretch of the regular season.

When is the next Sacramento Kings game?

Sacramento will conclude a brief two-game homestand on Friday night at Golden 1 Center against James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers have a new look this season following the departure of star forward Paul George, and they will also be without Kawhi Leonard (knee) for the foreseeable future.
