In-Season Tournament
This was be the first regular season where all the NBA teams competed in a mid-season tournament setting due to the implementation of the
2023 NBA In-Season Tournament .
[3]
[4] During the in-season tournament period, the Kings competed in Group C of the Western Conference, which included the
Golden State Warriors ,
Minnesota Timberwolves ,
Oklahoma City Thunder , and
San Antonio Spurs . The Kings advanced to the knockout round of the In-Season Tournament following their victories over the Thunder, Spurs, Timberwolves (who held the best record of the entire Western Conference at the time), and Warriors (who won by one with a
Malik Monk game-winner after coming back from a 24-point deficit during that match). However, when entering the knockout round section of the In-Season Tournament on December 4, the Kings lost to the winners of Group B (which were the
New Orleans Pelicans , who finished 3-1 in their group at the time) by a final score of 127-117 due to New Orleans winning the rest of the quarters that night after losing the first quarter by 1 point. Tragically, during that night, a 34-year-old Kings fan named Gregorio "Greg" Florez Breedlove had a medical emergency during the first quarter of that game and died 20 minutes after emergency medical services arrived to try and help him out.
