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.
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 expiring in July.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sacramento Kings center JaVale McGee just finished his 15th season in the NBA and is set to hit free agency this summer. Despite getting up there in age since he turned 36 years old in January, the three-time NBA champion said that he has no plans of hanging up his sneakers for good just yet.
16-year NBA veteran JaVale McGee is reportedly not planning on retiring from basketball just yet. Following his Sacramento Kings’ Play-In loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, the 36-year-old made it clear he plans to “just play basketball.” “Just to play basketball,” McGee said when asked by NBCSCA what’s next for him.
Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox is showing some love to one of his teammates as that player’s future with the team is in doubt. Fox is expressing his appreciation for Malik Monk, as Monk is about to head into the free agency waters.
