NBA World Reacts to Fox and Sabonis Missing All-Star Game

The Sacramento Kings have had their fair share of ups and downs this season but have ultimately been successful on their way to fifth place in the Western Conference. Sacramento sits at 27-19 as they approach the trade deadline, but their impressive season has not been enough for All-Star voters.

The Kings have been led by star duo De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, yet neither were selected to play for the 2024 Western Conference All-Star team. The All-Star game reserves are voted on by the 30 NBA coaches, but the Kings duo being omitted from the game has the media in a frenzy.

Of course, Kings fans are not happy about Fox and Sabonis being snubbed, but neither is the rest of the NBA world. Here are a few reactions from X that show fans' disgust.

Kings starting shooting guard Kevin Huerter also took his frustrations to social media to argue in favor of his teammates, with former King Matthew Dellavedova backing him up.

Man no way BOTH Foxy and Domas should have been left out. Numbers and team success are there!

Neither Sabonis nor Fox making the All-Star game does not seem to sit well with many NBA fans, especially Kings fans. Despite both stars having career-best seasons, neither gets All-Star honors. It is truly a disgrace to the league and what it means to be an All-Star in today's game.
