Former Sacramento Kings head coach and general manager Jerry Reynolds joined The Drive Guys on Thursday afternoon. He praised interim head coach Doug Christie for his job getting his new-look group to gel.
Coming off a four-game winning streak, Sacramento ended their road trip 3-1, taking care of weaker opponents (Charlotte, Utah, Dallas) while competing against Houston and Denver, winning the former.
Reynolds shared his perspective on the unfriendly whistle the Kings received in the Mile High City but had an overall optimistic outlook as this team traverses the final stretch of its 2024-25 season.
Doug Christie was thrown into the fire but has done a “marvelous job” traversing the challenging circumstances, from Reynolds’s perspective.
As the conversation continued, they dove into De’Aaron Fox’s return to Golden 1 Center as a member of the San Antonio Spurs on Friday.
Reynolds said he would cheer for Fox before the start of the game and during any tribute video, but once the ball goes up, the gloves are off.
All that and PLENTY of other great conversations can be heard using the link above or on the Sactown Sports YouTube page.
Listen to The Drive Guys from 2 – 6 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday, on Sactown Sports 1140.
