IFWT_Stauskas

Canada native and Sacramento Kings rookie Nik Stauskas was the most popular Kings player in his debut as they took on the Toronto Raptors at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.  Though Stauskas had 12 points off the bench and each garnered roaring cheers from the crowd, he noted the pressure and attacks he felt from the opposing players.

The former Michigan star said nothing surprised him about his debut.

“I understand that I’m a rookie and I’m white, so people are going to attack me at all times,” he said. “Just coming out there in the game, I felt it right away.”

The Raptors defeated the Kings 99-94.
