Sacramento Kings rookie De’Aaron Fox may be only 11 games into his professional career, but he already has a game-winner that he can add to his resume. With the Kings trailing the Philadelphia 76ers by a point and less than 20 seconds remaining, Fox took the ball at the top of the key and created this foul line pull-up jumper. Buckets:
Kings rookie De’Aaron Fox’s game-winner creates incredible new nickname pun
De’AarWIN Fox, because all he does is win.
Joel Embiid missed a shot that would have potentially topped Fox’s, and so his shot stood as the game-winner. Here’s a neat photo of it that popped up on my timeline:

After searching Twitter, I’m disappointed that these two simultaneous puns — and one follow-up reply to the Kings tweet — are the only two “De’Aarwin” puns that exist on the internet. That’s a shame and needs to be immediately rectified. Is that too much to ask?
Fox finished with 11 points and seven assists, although it took 4-of-13 shooting. However, he had a three-point play with a minute to go that helped the Kings come back from a deficit late and actually win this game.
