NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2020β21 Sacramento Kings season was the 76th season of the franchise, its 72nd season in the
National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 36th in
Sacramento .
The Kings entered the season with the
current longest NBA playoff appearance drought at 14 seasons, last qualifying in
2006 . After the
Cleveland Browns of the NFL made the playoffs for the first time since 2002 at the start of the NBA season, the Kings will be 2nd in sports for the longest active playoffs drought, behind the
MLB 's
Seattle Mariners . On August 14,
Vlade Divac resigned from his position as general manager and Monte McNair was named as his replacement on September 17.

[2] For the 15th season in a row, the Sacramento Kings failed to reach the playoffs, tying the
Los Angeles Clippers for the longest NBA playoff drought and thus became the first team in NBA history to reach a 70 year title drought, not winning a title since 1951.
