Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney sprained his left ankle in Monday's 110-96 loss to the Sacramento Kings, Brooklyn announced during the game.

Through three quarters, the Nets trail the Kings just 80-78, but the fourth quarter saw Sacramento open up a 13-point lead with 4:05 left to play, essentially sealing the game for the Kings. Here are three Nets takeaways from Monday's loss to the Kings:

Domantas Sabonis had 21 points, 22 rebounds and 10 assists in his seventh triple-double of the season, De’Aaron Fox scored 30 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Brooklyn Nets 110-93 on Monday night.

Fox immediately supplants Jimmy Butler atop the list of available game-changers, and Brooklyn sees the Kings guard as a trade target — though sources tell The Post that Giannis Antetokounmpo is still the ultimate prize.

The "Light the Beam" era of the Sacramento Kings is rapidly devolving into yet another dark time for the forlorn franchise. De'Aaron Fox's refusal to sign a contract extension has forced the Kings to recoup whatever value they can retain on the trade market before the Feb.
