Yay! Finally back at the arena after nearly 2 weeks away. It seems like it has been forever since the last game as the Kings have been on a very long road trip. I think all the staff at the arena were ready to get back at it. As always, great to see Scott Moak before the game! When Scott says let's take as selfie, we must do just that!
The fans were ready to be back at the arena as well. As it was a Friday game, this was part of the Kings Flashback series of games. Fans were given baby blue Rudy Gay posters as they came into the arena.
Former King, now television correspondent Doug Christie was hanging out with fans before the game signing autographs and taking pictures. Doug is a huge fan favorite, and it's awesome to have him here in town covering the team.
Who doesn't love bobbleheads? Well, today was Bobby Jackson bobblehead night. Fans could get their very own Kings bobblehead at the Kings Store. I'd love to have one of these for my own Kings collection.
And Bobby Jackson was in the house as well! His bobble head was actually to commemorate a funny event that happened when he was playing on the Kings. He had fallen into the stands when a fan kissed him on the head. Well, guess who was there next to him last night... that very fan!
Here's Ben McLemore as he comes onto the court to warm-up. Fans in the high-five line got the chance to greet him and the other Kings as they came out of the locker room.
Slamson's been waving the banner before each game this season and it has provided some great excitement to begin each game. I just love getting shots of that moment.
Tonight was one of the games this season that I would be on the floor to capture the action. Here's a photo from my vantage point.
Omri played great tonight against the Wolves. It seems like he always brings the necessary energy and passion to the floor. There were numerous times when he got a great dunk or easy layup by moving without the ball.
Sadly, Big Cuz tweaked his back during the road trip and did not play during this game. He did, however, provide a lot of encouragement for the team from the bench. It was great to see DeMarcus cheering on his teammates.
Rudy Gay had a couple monster performances on the roadtrip, but struggled tonight at home. It's tough to win a game when your best player is out and Rudy struggles as well.
The Kings dropped this one to the Wolves tonight and will play the Warriors at Oracle on Saturday. Nobody expects the Kings to win that game, but it's the NBA... you never know!
