It was not the ideal year for the Sacramento Kings. The team was a dark horse in last year’s NBA Playoffs but came crashing down. Hopes were high for the Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox-led squad but they were not met. So, all they could do was re-tool and get ready to make a run […]

The Sacramento Kings already have one obviously talented yet objectively limited seven-foot center from Lithuania on the roster. Would pairing franchise stalwart Domantas Sabonis with fellow countryman Jonas Valanciunas this summer really be an optimal move for Sacramento? Let’s just say the oddsmakers in Vegas don’t share your skepticism. As Valanciunas’ foray into free agency […]

While the NBA coaching carousel is already spinning and leading new coaches to new teams, there will also be some extensions likely handed out to coaches whose teams have risen from the doldrums of the standings: Tom Thibodeau of the New York Knicks and Mike Brown of the Sacramento Kings.

The Sacramento Kings enter the offseason after losing to the New Orleans Pelicans in the Play-In Tournament. The Kings should be among the teams in the trade market.

It was a massive disappointment for the Sacramento Kings to miss the playoffs this season. A year ago, they were the third seed in the West with a 48-34 record. They only won two fewer games this season, but dropped from third to ninth. Such is life in a loaded Western Conference. But, had the […]

The Sacramento Kings had a solid 2023-24 campaign one year after making the NBA Playoffs for the first time in 16 seasons. The star duo of De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis is proving to be one of the most promising in the league. Moreover, Sabonis has risen to new heights after a career year. The […]

The Sacramento Kings were eliminated by the New Orleans Pelicans in the Play-In Tournament. It was a disappointing season following the 2023 season, where they were the third seed in the Western Conference. Heading into the offseason, the Kings’ free agency will be vital to improving their roster. Sacramento’s loss to the Pelicans was especially […]

When a franchise finally breaks through and becomes relevant again after a seemingly endless stretch of ineptitude, the local response is indescribably special. Patience is rewarded, and the blood pressure levels of an entire fan base are stabilized. The excitement is palpable. But what does one do when the honeymoon phase ends? The Sacramento Kings […]

The Sacramento Kings are once again on the outside looking in this year in the NBA playoffs. The Kings had some strong momentum this season, and appeared to be a contender in the Western Conference. Mistakes down the stretch doomed the team, and the Kings truly only have themselves to blame for the disappointing way […]

The Golden State Warriors were knocked out of the Play-In Tournament by the Sacramento Kings in a loss that millions of NBA fans saw coming from a mile away. The Warriors’ roster had become depleted over the past few years with veteran players like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson unable to pick up the slack. […]

The NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award has been decided by only a few votes. It went to Minnesota Timberwolves big man Naz Reid. This was quite unexpected given that a lot of the league’s avid watchers and everyone who is part of the Sacramento Kings faithful had Malik Monk winning as a foregone […]

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk finished second in the voting for NBA Sixth Man of the Year on Wednesday. Monk, who was viewed as the favorite for the award almost the entire season, suffered an MCL injury in his right knee, causing him to miss the Kings’ final nine games. But even with the absence, Sacramento […]

Minnesota Timberwolves big man Naz Reid has officially been named the 2023-24 NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Reid, who was honored on Wednesday night as the best bench player in the league this past season, helped lead the Timberwolves to a 56-26 record, their second-best season in franchise history. As a result, they were […]

Going from the No. 3 seed and a close matchup with a Steph Curry-led Golden State Warriors squad in the Western Conference Playoffs to a spot on the couch and — as the joke goes, Cancun — isn’t a transition any NBA team aspires to experience, especially with a young team. Unfortunately for the Sacramento […]

The Sacramento Kings ended their season last Friday. Falling to the New Orleans Pelicans in a Play-In battle for the eighth seed, the team will have to endure the heartbreak of being one win short of a playoff appearance.

After a 2022-23 season that saw them reach the playoffs amid a buzz of fan excitement, the Sacramento Kings sputtered out of the NBA Play-In Tournament this season. Now, there are real questions about the Kings’ future and their roster makeup, per Howard Beck of The Ringer: “At a glance, it’s all a bit disorienting. […]

It is safe to say that Malik Monk has found a home in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings. But the door is open for the former Kentucky Wildcats high-flyer to leave Sacramento in the summer, as the last year of the two-year, $19.42 million deal he signed with the team back in 2022 is […]

The Sacramento Kings are building in the right direction. Although they failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2024, they still managed to win 46 games during the regular season. The year prior, Sacramento won 48 games. The Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Los Angeles Clippers are the only teams to win […]

Just about any other season, 46 wins would be good enough to not only make the NBA playoffs but to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament altogether. The Sacramento Kings won 48 games last year, which earned them the third seed in the Western Conference. Forty-six wins in the previous campaign would’ve put them in the […]

Although they did not make the playoffs, the 2023-24 season was yet another successful one for the Sacramento Kings. In addition to posting a 46-36 record, their second straight season with at least 46 wins, the Kings learned a lot about their offense. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis are their two All-Stars, as Malik Monk […]

When Mike Brown took over on the sidelines as the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, he inherited a broken organization just looking for energy to try and end what had become an inexcusable and overwhelming 16-season playoff drought. With De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis as his two best players, Brown was able to create […]

The Golden State Warriors dynasty has fully crumbled. Coach Steve Kerr and the Stephen Curry-led team could not get past the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament.

The Golden State Warriors needed this win, not for any other reason but to keep their season alive.

There is nothing quite like a sporting rivalry based off of proximity. Rivalries in sports are always great, but the intensity is turned up a notch when teams are located close to each other, as the action feels more at home. One of the best examples of this is the rivalry between the Golden State […]
