De'Aron Fox had nothing to do with the decision from the Sacramento Kings to fire Mike Brown as head coach, sources tell The Athletic. The Kings fired Brown and replaced him on an interim basis with Doug Christie last Friday, but the team has yet to have a press conference involving either Vivek Ranadive or Monte McNair to explain the decision, which has increased speculation about it within that vacuum.
Brown is also known to believe the Fox had nothing to do with the decision and that Ranadive was the driving force behind it, according to the report.
The Kings already had a sensitive situation with Fox based on his rejection of an extension this past offseason and questions about his future. Fox was also the last one seen speaking to Brown in any substantive way after last Friday's practice shortly before the Kings fired him. Brown was highly critical of Fox's play after a tough loss the night before.
