More trouble appears to be brewing in Sacramento.
According to a report by Carmichael Dave of KHTK Sports 1140 over the weekend, Kings guard Arron Afflalo refused to enter a 132-98 loss to the Houston Rockets last Wednesday. He was also slow to enter a 104-84 defeat at the hands of the Utah Jazz four days before that.
Worth following: according to league sources, Aaron Afflalo was slow to enter the game in Utah, declined to enter in Houston. Stay tuned.

Afflalo, 31, is putting up 7.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 23.4 minutes per game this season, all of which are his lowest averages since the 2008-09 season. The month of December has seen Afflalo fall out of the team’s rotation almost entirely with four DNP-CDs in the last seven games.
Lately, the Kings have been plagued by everything from nightclub fights to altercations with the media. You can now add a disgruntled Afflalo to that list as well as it seems head coach Dave Joerger has completely lost control of the team just seven months after taking the job. Nothing to be jealous about here.
