Kings Superfan Devlin Carter Ejected for Roasting Defense

Merlin sees Sacramento superfan Devlin Carter escorted out after he loudly called out the Kings’ defense during a 112-100 loss to Phoenix — captured on TV and followed by Instagram posts saying "at least the Kings fans feel me" and "we aint come here to watch yall not play defense." The outburst matters because it personifies the city’s anger: Sacramento is 5-14, ranks 28th in offensive rating and 24th in defensive rating, and risks a third straight year out of the playoffs. Merlin knows a heckler is never the whole story. The offense, oddly, has been the bigger rot, and Doug Christie’s group still needs an identity to calm the crowd and stop the slide. If scoring doesn’t improve and the home pulse stays frantic, management may feel pressured into roster fixes before the trade deadline.
