- Veteran forward DeMar DeRozan expressed uncertainty about his future with the Kings after they lost their eighth straight game on Thursday. Following Saturday’s victory in Denver, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee asked Doug Christie about DeRozan’s comments and how he handles those situations as the head coach (Twitter video link). “When it comes to the business of basketball, I talk to all of our players,” Christie said. “So I’m open to any of that communication, because they know I’ve been through it before. I understand. All of that stuff is extremely difficult. … It’s part of what we do. The trade deadline comes, all these different things happen and we have to deal with it.”
