The Kings shocked the NBA world when they fired Mike Brown amid their poor start to the season and named Christie as the interim head coach. Sacramento thought this could help turn their season around as they currently sit outside of the playoff picture in the Western Conference after having high expectations entering the season.

Fox's long-term future with the Kings has been in doubt since he refused to sign a contract extension this summer.

Sacramento Kings star De'Aaron Fox says he had nothing to do with Mike Brown's firing and that he learned about it shortly before the rest of the world did.
