Any and all pre-draft player prognostication must come with the caveat that no one actually knows anything, at this point. DeAndre Ayton might turn out to be Michael Olowokandi 2.0; Marvin Bagley III could wind up being another Justise Winslow; It’s not impossible that Luka Dončić is in fact Mario Hezonja, operating…

For what feels like the first time in recent franchise history, the Sacramento Kings got lucky. The Kings briefly held the reins in the NBA’s greatest-ever tank-off last season, but they were soundly out-tanked over the stretch run, and wound up finishing with the lottery’s seventh-best odds after ending the season…

Patrick McCaw left tonight’s game against Sacramento on a stretcher after the Warriors guard fell hard to the floor after being undercut by Vince Carter on a play that left Golden State coach Steve Kerr angrily cursing at the veteran Kings star.

Only a few thousand fans were able to make it in the arena for the Kings’ loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday night before the building’s entrances were shut down as a “public safety measure” due to the presence of protestors, who were demonstrating in response to the fatal police shooting of Sacramento man Stephon Clark.

After the Kings’ win tonight over the Hawks was delayed and ultimately played in front of a tiny crowd—with the arena shutting its doors before tip-off, due to the presence of protests over last weekend’s fatal police shooting of Sacramento man Stephon Clark—team owner Vivek Ranadivé discussed Clark’s death and the…

Protestors responding to Sunday’s police shooting of Stephon Clark effectively shut down the arena before tonight’s Hawks-Kings game and forced a lengthy delay before the matchup finally tipped off in front of a sparse crowd of fans who made it in before the entrance gates were closed.

In a game between two dead-end teams waiting for the draft, the Pistons stuck around for two-and-a-half quarters before the Kings gutted it out and pulled off the loss. Blake Griffin came up big for the Pistons, but the night belonged to Vince Carter, who moved up to 22nd on the NBA’s all-time scoring list and had a…

The Sacramento Kings are 19-43, and there’s not much at stake over the last 20 games of the season, save for lottery ping pong balls. That’s how this season was always going to turn out, and after moving George Hill to Cleveland, the Kings can thrust rookie point guard De’Aaron Fox all the way into the spotlight to…

Last night’s NBA Rising Stars Challenge was a laugher, and not even just for the usual reasons (no defense, sloppy passing, reckless shooting, general exhibition behavior): This time, the World team just kinda flattened the U.S. team, from start to finish, so that what is always a talent show masquerading as a contest…

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has a thorough and fascinating tick-tock of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade deadline maneuvering, and you should gobble it up if you are into that sort of thing. But if you just want another chance to laugh at the Sacramento Kings, it’s also good for that.

By the time the NBA’s All-Star break usually rolls around, the standings are more or less set. It’s typically obvious which four or so teams will be contending for a championship, and it’s also apparent who will be spending the rest of the year in the toilet, tanking for superior lottery odds and draft positioning. As…

No personnel move is more emblematic of the reliably baffling Vlade Divac administration in Sacramento than the team’s selection of unknown Greek center Georgios Papagiannis with the 13th pick of the 2016 draft. Sacramento traded back from the eighth spot in that draft and smartly snared peppy Serbian perimeter dude…

Sacramento rookie De’Aaron Fox had an absolutely wonderful put-back slam to win the game for the Kings tonight in Miami.

Vince Carter turns 41 on Friday, and he’s the oldest dude in the NBA. But that didn’t stop him from showing young Aaron Gordon how to throw it down tonight.

In this highlight, De’Aaron Fox receives the inbounds pass under his own basket with 13.3 remaining in the first half. With 8.9 seconds to play, he has already dunked it.

You will not be surprised to learn that the Sacramento Kings—a team with five rookies in the rotation and 10 players on rookie deals on the roster—set a record for first-half offensive futility against the Oklahoma City Thunder last night and farted up 23 turnovers. After all, the Thunder are led by a trio of…

Kings rookie PG De’Aaron Fox was born in Louisiana, went to high school in Texas, college at Kentucky, and is settling in to his new life in Sacramento. And, as with anyone who goes to California for the first time, he’s been bombarded by locals’ boasts about a certain fast-food chain. He’s supremely unimpressed.

After being arrested last month for felony drug possession with intent to sell, Sacramento Kings forward Zach Randolph has cut a plea deal that will allow him to avoid jail time, TMZ reports. Online court records show a hearing is scheduled for an “arraignment and plea” in Randolph’s case tomorrow morning.

According to CBS 2 in Los Angeles, Sacramento Kings power forward Zach Randolph was arrested on felony charges of drug possession and intent to sell in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles last night.

The Sacramento Kings have spent this NBA offseason as a darling of the league for the first time in what feels like 15 years. They drafted well, nabbing hyperfast point guard De’Aaron Fox at five and picking three more players later in the draft that were generally viewed as good value picks for a franchise utterly…
