Zach LaVine looks completely thrown off as fan incident goes viral
Wednesday night, The Sacramento Kings are down to a dreadful 5-14 record with an uninspiring home loss to the Phoenix Suns. The Kings have been the odd team out so far this year, beating the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves, but not having much success against anyone else.
At one point during Wednesday’s game, a verbal altercation broke out between the Kings’ guards Zach LaVine and the fan went viral, and the fan ended up getting kicked out of the game.
A Kings fan tells Kings star player Zach LaVine that he’s playing defense for once.
Lavin retorts 🗣 “GO HOME B*TCH” and removes him
The Kings are 5-14 💩 the 13th seed and making $200,000 a year for season ticket holders

After the game, it looks like LaVine completely logged out in its media availability.
“You can say all you want about effort. We’re playing as hard as we can. We’re exhausted here, so I don’t know,” LaVine said, per James Hamm of ESPN 1320 Sacramento on X, formerly Twitter.
Overall, this has been a disastrous season for the Kings so far, something many fans saw coming before the season even started. The Kings essentially constructed an older, worse version of the 2022 Chicago Bulls, a team that fell in the first round of the playoffs in five games and is now mired in trade rumors as the season wears on.
It remains to be seen what kind of market there is for aging players like LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, or even big man Domantas Sabonis, whose shortcomings as a rim protector and spacer have been well documented by this point in his career.
The Kings aren’t exactly loaded with young talent either, with players like Keon Ellis not even seeing many minutes in head coach Doug Christie’s rotation.
Overall, things have been better in Sacramento, and that’s saying something, considering the franchise doesn’t have an abundance of glory days to choose from, especially not recently.
The Kings will next take the floor Friday night on the road against the Utah Jazz.
