De'Aaron Fox made a triumphant return for the Sacramento Kings after a three-game absence due to a bruised right glute, leading his team against the Chicago Bulls. Fox, who is averaging an impressive 26.7 points per game this season, showcased his scoring ability as the Kings aimed for a strong performance.

On the other side, the Bulls missed Coby White due to a strained neck, which he sustained during a recent victory over Washington. In his absence, Lonzo Ball stepped into the starting role for the first time since the 2021-22 season, marking a significant moment in his road to recovery.
