Sacramento Kings sign De'Aaron Fox

After the Sacramento Kings selected De'Aaron Fox for the no. 5 pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday, one member of the King's fanbase was given the courage to ask his crush out on a date. Prior to the King's selection of Fox, the fan made his conditional decision public the previous day via a Twitter post.

The King's then got involved, offering their support by asking that the fan keep the team updated on his romantic endeavor. 

Once the King's retweeted and responded to their courageous fan, it didn't take long for the fan to then share screenshots of the conversation with his crush, in which he asks her/him out, and he/she say yes. 

It wasn't long before De'Aaron Fox got involved, giving the fan's romantic spirit his own endorsement. 

Congrats to the happy couple (too soon?), and shout out to the King's for giving their fan the courage to play the field.
