The Sacramento Kings very nearly beat the New Orleans Pelicans at the buzzer in regulation.

Sacramento Kings veteran Zach Randolph is one of the toughest dudes in the league and isn’t one to back down from anyone on the court. He clearly didn’t back down from DeMarcus Cousins, as he went toe-to-toe with the imposing New Orleans Pelicans big man in their head-to-head matchup on Friday night. The two had many […]

Veterans are the ones who are supposed to give rookies a rude awakening in the pros.

Calderon was trying to complete a […]

For many young NBA fans, Sacramento Kings forward Vince Carter is just a veteran player filling the leadership role on a young, developing team. However, those that grew up cheering for him in the early 2000’s remember the “Vinsanity” he used to cause with his aerial acrobatics. Well, Carter turned back the clock prior to […]

More often than not, every single championship team seems to have at least one savvy veteran on the roster that is way past their prime. They are easy to spot because they were once household names who’ve spent their best years on floundering teams and are now relegated to ring-chasing before officially calling it quits. Needless […]

The Sacramento Kings surprised the basketball world on Monday, when they completed an upset victory over the defending champions, Golden State Warriors.

He may already be 40 years old now, and the oldest active player in the league today, but Sacramento Kings shooting guard Vince Carter can still throw down dunks as good, if not better than the younger ones.

The Golden State Warriors are looking to keep their two-game win streak going tonight as they square off against the lowly Sacramento Kings.

One player who is […]

The Golden State Warriors will be without their two leading scorers in point guard Stephen Curry and forward Kevin Durant during tonight’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

The Sacramento Kings are hoping that what they’re reading from the news heading into their matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Monday ends up favoring them.

The Sacramento Kings fell to a disappointing loss on Saturday night against another struggling team in the L.A. Clippers, 97-95 loss.

LaVar Ball has almost single-handedly made his family a household name in America. That’s in large part due to Ball’s shameless display of bravado that the media find so irresistible. Ball, however, isn’t the only reason for his family’s fame. His son, Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo, has been grabbing headlines ever since he was […]

To say that the Atlanta Hawks beat the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night would be to describe Zach Randolph as a bit stocky. Both are big understatements.

Today’s NBA has ushered in a new era of basketball.

The three-ball revolution has not gone unnoticed by the gritty bigs of the league today. […]

The 2015 NBA Draft has undoubtedly produced one of the deepest classes in recent years.

Sacramento Kings power forward Zach Randolph’s kind is a dying one. There aren’t just as many big men these days that would prefer operating at the low post than take perimeter shots as before.

Now at 40 years old and in his 20th season in the league, Vince Carter is continuing to prove that age is just a number, and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The Sacramento Kings have exercised their third-year options on Buddy Hield, Malachi Richardson, Skal Labissiere, and Georgios Papagiannis, as well as the fourth-year option on Willie Cauley-Stein, per ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
