The NBA season is currently underway, and many former Kentucky Wildcats are vying for a playoff spot. Notably, De’Aaron Fox is having a remarkable start to the 2024-25 season.
The Sacramento Kings guard is averaging 28.9 points per game, ranking sixth in the league. Recently, Fox and the Kings faced the Minnesota Timberwolves, losing a close overtime match 130-126. Despite the loss, Fox delivered an incredible performance, scoring 60 points, which set a new franchise record for the Kings.
In that game, Fox shot 22-for-35 from the field and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc, contributing seven assists, three steals, and three rebounds as well. Following this historic outing, he continued to impress, scoring 49 points in the subsequent game against the Jazz, helping the Kings secure a victory.
Clearly, Fox is among the hottest players in the NBA at the moment, and his outstanding play could aid the Kings in improving their 8-6 record. He is having a quietly exceptional season and has the opportunity to surpass personal bests in several statistics. If he maintains this level of performance, he could be in the running for various awards.
