Wednesday night's matchup between Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings is a tale of two teams heading in wildly different directions this season.

De'Aaron Fox doesn't see the Golden State Warriors as a threat and brushed off questions about their ability to bounce back.

De’Aaron Fox walked into an empty visiting locker room late Saturday night following the Sacramento Kings’ 143-120 loss to the New York Knicks. All his teammates had showered, dressed and left while Fox was getting treatment from the team’s performance staff.

De'Aaron Fox's availability for the Kings' game against the Knicks is up in the air following the NBA's injury report on Saturday.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Kings are expected to open talks for All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. The San Antonio Spurs have been rumored as a preferred destination for Fox with significant mutual interest from both sides, according to Forbes NBA reporter Evan Sidery.

The Kings trapped the ball out of Steph Curry’s hands all night — often at halfcourt — and he responded by dishing a season-high 12 assists. Andrew Wiggins poured in 25 and Gui Santos (16 points) provided a major lift off the bench. But DeMar DeRozan (32 points, 24 in the second half) was too much for the short-handed Warriors to overcome.

The Kings appeared to be headed for a blowout loss on their home court, but that’s when DeRozan went to work. He scored 19 points in the third quarter, including 15 in the final 5:35, bringing his team back from a big deficit while bringing the arena to life.

The Kings passed the Warriors in the process of ascending up the ranks of the west. Now that Sacramento has surpassed Golden State, Kings star De'Aaron Fox wants to 'kick them while they're down.'

After a 3rd quarter comeback and back-and-fourth 4th quarter battle, the Kings stars carried Sacramento to a 123-117 victory.
