Vlade Divac passed up on drafting Luka Doncic in the 2018 draft partly because he didn't think highly of Doncic's father, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.

MacMahon relayed the story in a recent episode of Adrian Wojnarowski's podcast discussing the evolution of Doncic.

The discussion turned to how the Kings and Suns both passed up the opportunity to draft Doncic despite having people close to the player at the time. MacMahon said that Divac's closeness with Doncic's dad went against the player.

“My understanding is that [Divac] being so close to Luka and knowing his dad so well factored into their decision. Basically, he didn’t think a whole lot of Luka’s dad, and the whole like father like son … well … no, this is a different dude. You messed that one up, Vlade," said MacMahon.

Marvin Bagley will miss at least a week as he recovers from a broken thumb.

Bagley, who suffered the injury on opening night, will miss the Kings 4-game road trip.

Bagley will be re-evaluated before the Kings home game against the Nuggets on November 30th.

Buddy Hield has been fined $25,000 for kicking the game ball into the spectator stands.

The incident occurred at the conclusion of the Kings’ 100-99 win over the Boston Celtics on Nov. 17 at Golden 1 Center.

De'Aaron Fox will be out at least 3-4 weeks after suffering a sprained ankle during practice. A teammate stepped on Fox's ankle.

Fox underwent an MRI to diagnose the sprain.

Fox is in his third NBA season with the Sacramento Kings.

The Sacramento Kings have declined their 20-21 options on Harry Giles and Caleb Swanigan. Both players will be unrestricted free agents.

Giles' option would have been worth $3.97 million. While Giles has had injury issues, he has been considered part of their core.

Sacramento acquired Swanigan last season from the Portland Trail Blazers.
