The NBA has officially been on a hiatus since Rudy Gobert’s COVID-19 diagnosis and players, just like the rest of us, find themselves having to find other ways to spend their time indoors. De'Aaron Fox has found gaming to his time-killer of choice. The Kings' guard has begun consistently streaming on Twitch, but one game he won't be streaming is NBA 2K.

"2k is a trash game. That’s why we don’t want to stream it ??♂️," he remarked on Twitter after being asked to play by fans. "I’ve never seen so many outlet passes go into the 12th row in my life," he explained.
Other players were not happy with his take. "L," Donovan Mitchell responded succinctly to Fox's original tweet. Eric Paschall chimed in suggesting they play 3s, to which Fox replied, "We all know playing online is complete ?."
Mitchell, Fox, and Josh Hart all streamed themselves playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on Twitch. A viral clip on Twitter shows Hart suggesting that Fox can bring Sacramento back to the glory days and both Fox and Mitchell clown him for not making the playoffs.
Fox also tweeted that he may be making the switch from PS4 to PC soon: "Should I just get modern warfare on my pc instead of playing it on the PS4?"

Josh Hart Clowned By Donovan Mitchell & De’Aaron Fox On Twitch
NBA players are having a lot of fun in their game rooms now that the league is on hiatus.
Josh Hart has been the subject of a lot of memes over the last couple of years. Of course, he is known as the guy who constantly gets left hanging by all of his teammates. Whether he is on the Los Angeles Lakers or the New Orleans Pelicans, he is constantly being dissed up by his teammates, although at this point, it's become one huge inside joke.
Recently, Hart was streaming video games on Twitch along with Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz and De'Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings. At one point, Hart noted that Fox is the only player keeping Kings fans engaged and that one day he will bring them back to the glory days. That's when Fox noted to Mitchell that Hart has never made the playoffs before which led to a hilarious exchange.
Hart took it all in stride as he claimed the team would be able to get there, next season. With a healthy Zion Williamson, the Pelicans would certainly be a deadly team that could compete on a nightly basis with some of the league's powerhouses. For now, though, Hart will have to continue being subjected to the slander.
In the meantime, you can expect more NBA players to keep streaming on Twitch as they wait for NBA basketball to start back up again.
