Sacramento Kings History
The Sacramento Kings' lineage traces to Rochester, New York, where they played under four names, including the Royals, for 12 years (1945–57). Led by Hall of Famers Bob Davies, Bobby Wanzer and Arnie Risen, the team defeated the New York Knicks to win the NBA championship in 1951, the highlight of a seven-year run in the playoffs.
The Royals moved to Cincinnati for the 1957–58 season and added local college standout Oscar Robertson in 1960. Led by the "Big O," they advanced to the division finals in the 1962–63 and 1963–64 seasons, with the second year featuring contributions from Rookie of the Year Jerry Lucas.
After a five-year run of futility in the late 1960s and early '70s, the team relocated to Kansas City, adopting the name the Kings because the city's MLB team was named the Royals. For three years, the franchise divided its home games between Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska, and were known as the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Led by Coach of the Year Phil Johnson, they made the playoffs in 1974–75. In the 10 seasons that followed as the Kansas City Kings, the team made the playoffs four times, most memorably in 1980–81 behind guard Otis Birdsong.
The franchise relocated to Sacramento in 1985, but failed to post a winning record until the lockout-shortened 1998–99 season, when a team led by Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Vernon Maxwell, Scot Pollard, and Jon Barry went 27-23. It was the first of eight consecutive seasons in the playoffs, highlighted by a trip to the 2002 Conference Finals.
In 2023, under new coach Mike Brown and All-Stars Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, the Kings advanced to the playoffs, ultimately losing in the first round to reigning NBA champions the Golden State Warriors in a close seven-game series. Brown was named the 2022–23 season’s Coach of the Year, while Fox collected the league’s first Clutch Player of the Year Award.

Would have been nice if they could have went. Kids has fun. Seats were good. Be interested in doing it again. Thanx.
Game was good. Half time show was really weak. The maskot was very entertaining. Need to get crowd more excited.
I like the rookies, they have energy and talent. The crowed is still loud but we need more fans to energize the team. K-Mart is still the "Guy"
Thanks to Maloof Entertainment and the Kings, this state worker was able to go to the game. Foul calls were questionable-here we go again with the referees. The rookies looked really good and Kevin Martin fabulous. Enjoyed the game at the end but it was painful to watch the Blazers get inside and under the basket so easily. Hopefully we will get some defense and not depend so much on 3-pointers, although they are fun to watch. I plan on attending a lot of games this year..
I liked the excitement , would of liked it better if they won! I was sad not to see some of my favorite players but some of the new kids on the block look very promising!
Game was awesome. Good crowd & good atmosphere.
Although the Kings lost, it was a close game going back and forth. When they tied up I thought they could pull away and be in front. Hopefully, with time and experience they will come together as a team and start winning games.
So the kings lost to the trailblazers & the referees were calling way too many unneccessary fouls, but my seats were great! The greeters were friendly & the people @ the concession stands were just so nice! I loved the experience, hated the loss!
It was mine and my 5 year old grandsons first time to a game. We both enjoyed it very much. Very close game, it would have been nice to see the Kings win.
me and my brother went to the game and liked it.
I think Tyreke Evan was a great pick for the Kings. He is going to be a great player.
