Kings Struggle But Acuff Shines | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings took a brutal beating in the NBA Summer League, falling to the Brooklyn Nets 115-83 after a disastrous game marked by 28 turnovers and a dismal 47% free-throw shooting. But amid the disappointment, rookie Darius Acuff Jr. lit up the scoreboard with a game-high 26 points — a major step up from his earlier sluggish performances. Second-round pick Emanuel Sharp also shined, dropping 23 points with 6 threes, 3 rebounds, and 4 steals. The Nets, meanwhile, showcased balance and efficiency, led by Egor Demin’s 22 points and a perfect free-throw night. The Kings now face the Boston Celtics — and if they want to turn things around, they’ll need to cut down the turnovers and find consistency.
