Christopher Hine: Rudy Gobert on his ejection Saturday: “It was just frustration. Guys are going to talk. It’s a part of the game. Sometimes you can feel it’s disrespectful, but I got to be smarter than that. Penalizing my team, penalizing myself. So, just seems like for me, I got to be smarter.”

Lauren L. Williams: I asked Trae Young about what happened on Friday from his perspective and here’s what he said: “I mean, it was just a situation. I mean, we’re all grown men here. And there’s sometimes we don’t always agree. And it’s unfortunate that private situations and private conversations get out to the public. But I guess that’s what the world we live in now.

After Sacramento’s 110-101 win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday at Golden 1 Center, Malik Monk said the Kings are slowly turning that potential into a reality. “We’re legit, man. We’re legit, because [Kings coach] Mike [Brown] is going to push us so hard that we can’t not be legit,” Monk told NBC Sports California’s Kyle Draper and Kenny Thomas on “Kings Postgame Live.” “There’s a lot of stuff that goes into it.

All of this should come as a giant sigh of relief for Davis. But similar to how he ignored the recent chatter, he’s unmoved by his resurgence.  “This doesn’t surprise me,” Davis said. “This is what I’m supposed to be doing. This is what I know I’m capable of doing. It’s not a thing where I’m excited how I’m playing. It’s like a, ‘This is what I’m supposed to do’ feeling. I have high expectations of myself, so, when I don’t play how I want to play, I’m my own biggest critic. But if I continue to keep playing like this... Читать дальше...

What’s done is done, and I’m happy as hell to be where I’m at. At the end of the day, this decision was made and I don’t think I’ve been happier since I’ve been in the league.
