Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was back in the starting lineup after a remarkably quick recovery from an ankle injury, but that didn’t stop the Kings from lighting the beam.
Sacramento extended its winning streak to seven games with a 113-109 victory over the Grizzlies on Tuesday at FedExForum in Memphis, moving into a tie for second in the Western Conference.
When it was over, Kings coach Mike Brown gave a long embrace to point guard De’Aaron Fox, who finished with 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals in 35 minutes. Fox went 11 of 21 from the field and 5 of 8 from 3-point range, continuing to build on his early All-Star candidacy.
