NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2019β20 Sacramento Kings season was the 75th season of the franchise, its 71st season in the
National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 35th in
Sacramento .
The Kings entered the season with the
current longest NBA playoff appearance drought at 13 seasons, last qualifying in
2006 . Following a record of 39β43 the previous season, the Kings' head coach
Dave Joerger was fired on April 11, 2019.
[1] Two days later, they hired former Lakers coach
Luke Walton .
[2] The Kings hired former Suns head coach
Igor KokoΕ‘kov as an assistant coach.
[3]
The season was
suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11
[4] after it was reported that
Rudy Gobert had tested positive for
COVID-19 .
[5] On July 5, the NBA announced a return of the season which would involve 22 teams playing in the
NBA Bubble at the
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the
Walt Disney World Resort in
Florida .
[6] Each of the remaining 22 teams would play eight seeding games to determine positioning for the NBA playoffs.
[6] The Kings resumed play on July 31.
[7] But a 129β112 loss to the
Houston Rockets eliminated the Kings from playoff contention for a 14th season in a row, extending the third longest active drought among all four North American major professional sports leagues.
Draft picks
The Sacramento Kings hold no first-round picks, but three second round picks. Their first-round pick was traded to the
Philadelphia 76ers in 2015 and the 76ers conditionally traded it to the
Boston Celtics in the days entering the
2017 NBA draft .
[8]
[9] The lottery selection the team had failed to reach the 1st pick, meaning the pick goes to the
Boston Celtics .
[10] The 47th pick would be traded to the
New York Knicks for
Kyle Guy and cash considerations.
