On Wednesday night, Sacramento Kings star DeMar DeRozan warned Dalen Terry and Patrick Williams that the Chicago Bulls were going to have a hard time guarding him during their contest on Thursday night. DeRozan wound up making NBA history at Golden 1 Center.
DeRozan told Williams and Terry to enjoy their “nightmares” about guarding him. The six-time All-Star played for the Bulls from 2021-2024. Chicago traded DeRozan to the Kings last summer. They sent Zach LaVine to re-join him in Sacramento on Feb. 5.
“My baby boy always answers,” DeRozan said of Terry responding to a FaceTime call on Wednesday night via CHSN‘s K.C. Johnson. “He knows to pick up the phone when Daddy’s calling.”
