This report comes shortly after Kings guard Rajon Rondo told reporters that only three players came to shootaround, before the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers which the Kings lost 100-120 via Sacramento Bee‘s Jason Jones tweeted:
Rondo: "With optional shootarounds it’s tough. … When 3 or 4 guys show up for shootaround this morning, how can you expect to win.?"

That has to be a clear sign that the players have given up on Karl, as they continue to struggle in the western conference.
