The 2025–26 Sacramento Kings season is the 81st season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and 41st season in the city of Sacramento.[1] On May 1, 2025, the Kings hired Doug Christie as their head coach.[2]

Following a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 7, the Kings failed to improve upon their 40-42 record from the previous season, while also becoming the first team in the NBA to have a guaranteed losing record for the year. During that period, they tied a franchise record of 14 consecutive losses, matching the streaks they set in 1960 and 1971–72 as the Cincinnati Royals.[3]

Draft picks

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College
2 42 Maxime Raynaud C France France Stanford

The Kings entered the draft with only one second-round selection, which originally belonged to the Chicago Bulls and was acquired from the San Antonio Spurs in February 2025 in a three-team deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio.[4][5] The team had previously traded its original first- and second-round picks to the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls, respectively. During the first round, Sacramento traded a 2027 second-round pick (originally acquired from San Antonio) to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for the draft rights to Nique Clifford, the 24th pick.
