While the Pelicans picked up the win over the Sacramento Kings, Darius Acuff Jr. was the one who stole the show.
Rookie point guard Darius Acuff Jr. provided a bright spot for the Sacramento Kings despite their loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, which dropped the team to an 0-5 start. Acuff recorded his first career NBA double-double, finishing the game with 34 points and 14 assists while shooting 50 percent from the field.
