Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images The Sacramento Kings are finalizing a multiyear deal to make Doug Christie their new head coach, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Christie, 54, finished the 2024-25 season as their interim coach, compiling a 27-24 record after Mike Brown was fired in late December.
Christie's agent, Andy Miller of Klutch Sports, negotiated a new full-time contract this week with new Kings general manager Scott Perry, according to the report.
Sacramento, which was 13-18 when Christie took over, ultimately lost to the Dallas Mavericks in a play-in game.
Christie, who joined the Kings as an assistant coach in 2021, played 15 seasons in the NBA, including 355 games for Sacramento from 2000-05.
