And despite strong preseason chatter that a slow start in Sacramento could lead to a potential Ben Simmons trade with Philadelphia, there remains no significant current discussion between the Sixers and Kings. Fox and Tyrese Halliburton are still deemed unavailable, and second-year standout Tyrese Maxey has emerged as a legitimate starting point guard in Philadelphia.

Kings beat the Blazers 125-121. Much better effort than we’ve seen from this team in a while. Started the game without Richaun Holmes. Finished it without De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes. Good win for Sacramento. – 12:38 AM

So no Richaun Holmes, no De’Aaron Fox and no Harrison Barnes the rest of the way for the Kings, who cling to a 109-108 lead over the Trail Blazers with 3:49 to go. – 12:17 AM

Trail Blazers lead the Kings 71-69 at the half. Sacramento’s pace was improved in that first half. De’Aaron Fox leads the way with 19 & Alex Len with 12 in the starting role for Richaun Holmes. Damian Lillard with 17 for Portland. – 11:10 PM

De’Aaron Fox with 17 first half points (7/10), really heating up in the second quarter, tied the game at 59-59 with 2:58 before the half. Damian Lillard matching him with 17 for Portland – 10:56 PM

More on this storyline
There is room for hope; six of Sacramento’s 11 losses have come by single digits. Perhaps Gentry’s veteran savvy and fresh voice can fix enough problems around narrow margins to salvage the Kings’ playoff chances. That would likely have to come without any major trade fixes in the near future. Sacramento brass expect Gentry, Fox, and the Kings to recapture what led to their strong start themselves, as opposed to making any other stark personnel changes, sources told B/R. -via Bleacher Report / November 26, 2021
And the Kings won’t yet discuss any framework that includes either De’Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton, sources said. -via Bleacher Report / October 14, 2021
According to a source with knowledge of their situation, the Kings spoke to the Sixers weeks ago and made it clear that both De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton would not be included in a possible Simmons deal. That stance, the source said, has not and will not change and the internal expectation is that the core of their roster will remain the same heading into training camp later this month. -via The Athletic / September 1, 2021
