De’Aaron Fox appeared to poke fun at the New York Knicks on Thursday over the Eastern Conference team’s poor draft lottery fortunes.
The Knicks had the sixth-worst record in the league this season and ended up with the No. 8 pick in the NBA Draft when the lottery order was revealed Thursday. Many mocked the Knicks for being so bad but not reaping the reward with a higher pick.
That included Fox, who said on Twitter that the Knicks were probably sick over it. He added “#8,” which was likely a reference to the Knicks getting the eighth pick.
Yo I know they sick #8

Fox’s Kings ended up with the No. 12 pick.
Fox has been with Sacramento for three seasons since being drafted by them No. 5 overall in 2017. He averaged a career-best 21.1 points per game this season and wants to stay with Sacramento long term.
