Recently unveiling the newest signature sneaker for De’Aaron Fox, fans got a closer look at the Curry Fox 1 as both stars attended a promotional event to help launch the silhouette.</p><p><i><b>Check our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sneakers">Sneakers news</a> for more upcoming releases and breaking content!</b></i></p><p>Signed to Under Armour since 2013, Stephen Curry has been the face of their basketball line, releasing 12 signature models throughout the year including his newest Curry 12. Back in 2020, Curry Brand became its own standalone brand within Under Armour, expanding Stephen Curry’s creative reach to apparel and other on-court gear for hoopers.</p><p>Signing another NBA star was the first of eventual leaps the brand would take in the following years and just recently, it was announced that De’Aaron Fox would be receiving his own shoe under Curry Brand. Dubbed the Curry Fox 1, the shoe comes in an innovative design and eclectic colorway that perfectly matches Fox’s style on and off the court.</p><h2>Closer look at the Curry Fox 1</h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">BETTER LOOK: De’Aaron Fox’s signature Curry Fox 1 🦊</p><p>LEARN MORE:  <a href="https://t.co/uyQQTP9nwZ">https://t.co/uyQQTP9nwZ</a> <a href="https://t.co/a1uWBKduxI">pic.twitter.com/a1uWBKduxI</a></p><p>— Sneaker Bar Detroit (@SBDetroit) <a href="https://twitter.com/SBDetroit/status/1835040147135435025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">ANOTHER LOOK: <a href="https://twitter.com/swipathefox?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@swipathefox</a>’s first signature shoe, Curry Fox 1 🦊</p><p>📷 <a href="https://twitter.com/conkeror21?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@conkeror21</a> <a href="https://t.co/yqIk8f01Mr">pic.twitter.com/yqIk8f01Mr</a></p><p>— Sole Retriever (@SoleRetriever) <a href="https://twitter.com/SoleRetriever/status/1834977532820557895?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Right off the bat, we see the debut Curry Fox 1 resemble a low-cut basketball sneaker with a performance outsole and lockdown strap through the midsole. The shoes are base in <a href="https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/c/curry-brand-shoes-and-gear/?cid=PS_DG_US_11179_V0IP9SKH2P_curry+brand_p65444723599&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw9Km3BhDjARIsAGUb4nzyIMbcOu_GIW7KmsZy6Ox2ZHkvEQRRWcFH6i5tgUyUsKLDzjDMw8IaAshaEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds">Under Armour’s</a> latest foam technology throughout the midsole, coupled with their unique treaded outsole for maximum grip on the court. Official specs for the shoes have yet to be released, but we can expect similar cues from sneakers like the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/stephen-curry-debuts-curry-12-usa-sneakers-at-olympics">UA Curry 12</a> and previous models as well.</p><p>As of now, this is the best look we’ve gotten at the upcoming model as Under Armour and Curry Brand have kept things relatively wrapped, but we see a vibrant purple and glowing green colorway taking shape in the debut model. It’s no surprise that the debut colorway features purple to match with the Kings’ uniforms and the lockdown strap is a unique detail that has been missing from basketball sneakers over the last few years. Fans have drawn comparisons to Kyrie Irving’s Nike sneakers and these having a similar style.</p><p>Make sure to keep it locked with our <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sneakers">Sneakers news</a> more breaking content and when we could possibly see these in the future.

The Sacramento Kings have decided to finally swing for the fences by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">trading for Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan</a>. Everyone knew that DeRozan was likely on his way out, but the move to Sacramento took a few people by surprise. This was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-fans-frustration-after-demar-derozan-joins-kings">not how people envisioned DeMar’s homecoming would go.</a></p><p>Still, DeRozan and the Kings seem to be pretty ecstatic about the trade. DeRozan was even in the stadium after the trade was announced! Apparently, even Sacramento players had a hand in orchestrating the trade as well. Chris Haynes reports that De’Aaron Fox <a href="https://x.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1809778436023402965" rel="noopener">had a big hand </a>in bringing DeMar DeRozan to the Kings.</p><p>“Sources: Sacramento Kings star De’Aaron Fox played a pivotal role by joining today’s meeting to help recruit DeMar DeRozan. The two are ecstatic about partnering together on the court.”</p><p>DeRozan, a six-time All-Star and two-time second team All-NBA, joins a Kings team that is on an upward trajectory. Behind Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and Mike Brown’s leadership, Sacramento has become an up-and-coming team in the Western Conference. They broke their two-decade long playoff drought a few years back.</p><p>Last season, the Kings entered the Play-In Tournament as the ninth seed. Unfortunately, they lost their final game against the New Orleans Pelicans, causing them to miss out on the playoffs. It was a rough end to the season, but there’s still a lot of hope for the team entering this year. That hope has more than doubled with DeRozan in the fold.</p><h2><b>DeRozan’s fit with Fox, Kings</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/DeMar-DeRozan-against-Kings-DeAaron-Fox.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The obvious improvement that DeRozan brings to the table is his scoring. From Toronto to San Antonio to Chicago, DeRozan’s scoring has always been his forte.  Last season, the star forward averaged 24 points per game with a 58.4 True Shooting percentage. His best work is done in the midrange, but he is also adept in getting to the rim and finishing there. The Kings will love to have a secondary scorer of DeRozan’s caliber.</p><p>Another area that DeRozan will help the Kings is in the clutch. While Fox has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-deaaron-fox-shares-perfect-message-after-clutch-player-of-the-year-win">electric in crunch time</a>, the rest of the team has struggled heavily in that regard. DeRozan, meanwhile, has built a reputation as a clutch performer in the last few years. He may not need to hit game-winners, but DeRozan’s steady free throw shooting will be a welcome addition after their struggles there last season.</p><p>The fit isn’t going to be as seamless as one would like. Both DeRozan and Fox are primarily on-ball creators with mediocre shooting from the outside. Fox took a big leap in three-point shooting last season, but it’s not clear yet if it’s sustainable. Defense is also going to be a concern for the Kings, especially with Harrison Barnes’ departure in the sign-and-trade.</p><p>Still, this is a move that the Kings will do ten out of ten times. DeRozan will definitely be a helpful third star in their quest for playoff success. Will Deebo bring the Kings to the Finals in his first season back in California?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Back when he was a kid, Brian stumbled upon an old Larry Bird documentary among his family's collection of movies, which made him a lifelong Celtics fan.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Sacramento Kings ended their season last Friday. Falling <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-most-to-blame-in-shock-play-in-loss-to-zion-williamson-less-pelicans">to the New Orleans Pelicans</a> in a Play-In battle for the eighth seed, the team will have to endure the heartbreak of being one win short of a playoff appearance. This is probably why De’Aaron Fox continues to contemplate what could have been. Speaking to the media, Fox opened up on the Kings’ <a href="https://twitter.com/BrendenNunesNBA/status/1782469561868243165" rel="noopener">recently-concluded campaign</a>.</p><p>“I look at what we have, and I think what could have been,” Fox said, per Sactown 1140’s Brenden Nunes. “What could we have done better throughout this season? If we make our free throws, we probably have 51 wins…it’s the small things.”</p><p>The Kings shot just 74.5% from the charity stripe, making them the worst free-throw shooting team this season. Keegan Murray led the team with 83.1%. However, a number of Sacramento players, such as Fox (73.8%), Domantas Sabonis (70.4%) and Trey Lyles (70%) finished the season below the 75% mark. It also doesn’t help how Fox and Sabonis, being the Kings’ two best players, average the most free throw attempts per game among everyone on the roster (5.7 and 5.1 attempts, respectively).</p><p>The struggles at the line were so prevalent that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-mike-brown-slaps-sacramento-brutal-reality-check-free-throw-debacle-vs-hornets">Mike Brown had to</a> call out his players early in January. Following a game where the Kings made just 10 out of their 17 free throw attempts, Brown lamented the team’s woes during the press conference.</p><p>“For us to be 30th (in free-throw percentage) with the shooters we have on this team, it’s not good,” the head coach said.</p><h2>De’Aaron Fox and the Kings can still grow</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/DeAaron-Fox-warms-up.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Nevertheless, De’Aaron Fox knows that he can still improve moving forward. The speedy point guard made it known that he works on his craft daily and that there’s still room <a href="https://twitter.com/momoragan/status/1782469044396048716" rel="noopener">to grow as a player</a>.</p><p>“I definitely feel like it,” Fox said, addressing a question on whether or not there’s another level he can reach in terms of performance. “(I’m) 26, (I’ve) been in the league for seven years. I feel like I’ve gotten better every year. So why would I think that my growth just stunts now?”</p><p>“I still have things that I can work towards. I’ve had stretches where I looked really good, I’ve had stretches where I wasn’t good…I work at my game. I work at my game every day,” he added. (per NBC Sports’ Morgan Ragan)</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“I don’t feel like I’m done growing as a player.”</p><p>De’Aaron Fox on his game and where he is at in his career. <a href="https://t.co/eQHt27n5ta">pic.twitter.com/eQHt27n5ta</a></p><p>— Morgan Ragan (@momoragan) <a href="https://twitter.com/momoragan/status/1782469044396048716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This season, the left-handed guard averaged 26.6 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game. On the defensive side of the ball, Fox (and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) led the entire league in steals with 2.0 a game.</p><p>Last year, Fox steered the Kings to their first playoff appearance since the 2005-06 season. Sacramento managed to take the Golden State Warriors to a seven-game series in the first round.</p><p>It may have been a much quieter season this time around, but as the point guard stated, he still has space for growth. The same goes for the team. Sacramento may need offseason fixes, but they’ve shown upside as well. This season, the Kings ranked among the 10 best teams in points per game (116.6, 9th) and assists per game (28.3, 7th). Additionally, they made 14.4 three-pointers a game — 4th best in the entire league.</p><p>If the Kings improve on their flaws and build on their strengths, then another playoff berth may just occur in 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Fox is expressing his appreciation for Malik Monk, as Monk is about to head into the free agency waters.</p><p>“Malik was <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisBiderman/status/1781546854473179623" rel="noopener">great for us</a>. Obviously, I would love to have him back,” Fox said, per the Sacramento Bee. “But you know, I don’t I don’t know what the future holds. At the end of the day this is a business. You can only play basketball for so long.”</p><p>The Kings are out of the NBA playoffs, after losing to the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans knocked off the Kings on Friday night, 105-98. Sacramento’s season ends in total disappointment, as the Kings had put up some great numbers most of the season and seemed poised to make a deep playoff run in the Western Conference. The Kings <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-most-to-blame-in-shock-play-in-loss-to-zion-williamson-less-pelicans">struggled down the stretch</a>, losing six of the last ten regular season games on their schedule.</p><h2>Kings’ young stars</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kings-guard-DeAaron-Fox-5-goes-for-a-loose-ball-against-New-Orleans-Pelicans-forward-Larry-Nance-Jr.-22.jpg"><figcaption>© Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Sacramento has a group of young guns in their backcourt. Fox finished the season with a 26 points per game scoring average, including a 35-point performance against the Pelicans. The young point guard has been with the team since 2017, and averages more than 21 points a game in his career.</p><p>He and Monk have made a solid connection together. Monk averaged 15 points this season for the Kings, his second with the team. He came to the franchise from the L.A. Lakers in 2022, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-mike-brown-drops-malik-monk-charismatic-truth-bomb-amid-6moy-bid">and worked his way</a> into the team’s rotation. Both Fox and Monk played their college basketball at the University of Kentucky under John Calipari.</p><p>Time will tell if the two players’ days running the floor together are over. The Kings are likely to make some moves this offseason to try and build a championship roster. The team has struggled to find their way among some of the powers in the Western Conference in recent years. The franchise has only one division title in the last 20 years, and that was in 2023.</p><p>Monk was unable to play in the Pelicans game, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-malik-monk-to-miss-play-in-game-vs-warriors-due-to-knee-injury">due to a knee injury</a> that has lingered for several weeks. Kings fans surely will speculate what the season could have looked like if the shooting guard was able to stay healthy. Monk had a career-high scoring average this season.</p><p>“He <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/kings-stars-want-monk-back-064244840.html" rel="noopener">was extremely big</a> for us,” Fox said about Monk, per Yahoo Sports. “People that watched us play know that he should be Sixth Man of the Year. I feel like what he gave to us in the two years he has been here, he showed the value, what he can do for a team.”</p><p>Kings fans eagerly await to see what happens with their shooting guard.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
