Bucks sign 6th overall draft pick Yi

The Sacramento Kings are not planning on conducting an in-season coaching search and will give Doug Christie the opportunity to prove he is worth consideration for the job long-term, sources tell The Athletic.

Christie was elevated to interim head coach following the dismissal of Mike Brown. Christie met with the Kings’ front office immediately after Brown was fired and accepted their offer a promotion on an interim basis.

Christie left ahead of Jay Triano, who has prior head coaching experience.

Christie is the eighth head coach of the Kings in Vivek Ranadive’s 12 years of control.

Cam Reddish believes his lack of minutes with the New York Knicks wasn’t due to basketball reasons. Reddish has been a consistent part of the Portland Trail Blazers’ rotation since he was traded by the Knicks at the deadline.

“It was tough but at the same time, it ain’t even about basketball,” Reddish told the Daily News. “It had nothing to do with basketball. It was all the politics, all the favoritism. S–t like that. That’s why I wasn’t too worried about it.”

“They put a reputation on you [when you get traded twice like Reddish]. What’s wrong? Why is he going from team to team without getting an opportunity?” Damian Lillard said. “You just don’t know what goes on behind closed doors until you become attached to the situation and it’s our job to encourage him, to speak life into him. Things change and you start to see who they really are.”

The Knicks traded a first round pick to acquire Reddish from the Atlanta Hawks. Leon Rose had to attach another first round pick to send him to the Blazers for Josh Hart.
