His last postgame news conference, directed squarely at the team’s star guard, was delivered in the same week Fox appeared to be increasingly thinking about a future elsewhere. Fox gave a dismissive news conference of his own after the gaffe, skirting the questions and speaking for less than two minutes in all. Reporters spotted Brown after Friday’s practice in an extended discussion with Fox. He was dismissed about 90 minutes later. -via New York Times / December 29, 2024 Dave McMenamin: De’Aaron Fox when asked by a reporter if the Kings players feel “pressure or guilt” after Mike Brown’s dismissal: “I wouldn’t use the word ‘guilt.’ That’s the nature of the job that we have. Obviously him signing his extension this summer, we thought we would be together a whole lot longer. But that’s the decision that they made. But at the end of the day too, he’s still getting paid. A great part of being an NBA player, being an NBA coach is those things can happen, but contracts are guaranteed” -via Twitter @mcten / December 28, 2024 Sean Cunningham: De’Aaron Fox says he was surprised by the firing of Mike Brown.
