De’Aaron Fox came close to his season-high, scoring 41 points as the Kings faced off against the Jazz. The team couldn’t win despite Fox’s best efforts.
The Kings will be without star center Domantas Sabonis on their upcoming road trip.
Sacramento announced that Sabonis underwent an MRI on his left knee Monday. While it revealed he suffered a left knee bone contusion in Sunday's 127-124 overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns, there was no structural damage and he'll be re-evaluated in 10 days.
Sabonis exited the Kings' latest loss late in the fourth quarter after colliding with Suns center Deandre Ayton under the basket.

Sabonis, acquired by the Kings in a blockbuster move at the NBA trade deadline, is averaging 18.9 points and 12.3 rebounds per game in 15 contests with Sacramento.
