DeMar DeRozan is the definition of a true professional in the NBA. While things may not be going well this season for the Sacramento Kings, DeRozan’s demeanor remains unchanged, and he continues to play late in the 2025-26 season as if it were the first game of the year.
For a franchise that has shown an eye for uncovering intriguing talent—whether through the second round, undrafted signings, or savvy first-round picks the Sacramento Kings have struggled at times with patience and long-term development.

After falling to the Phoenix Suns, the Sacramento Kings now sit at 14-49 with just 19 games left in their 2025-26 campaign.

The Sacramento Kings have not seen much success this season, winning just 14 of their first 63 games, but there are a few moral victories in there. The most glaring bright spot has been rookie big man Maxime Raynaud.

The Sacramento Kings may have lost on primetime against the Phoenix Suns, but it went about as well as possible for a team that needs more losses than wins at the tail end of the season.
The Sacramento Kings made a head-scratching move last offseason when they traded Jonas Valančiūnas to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Dario Šarić.

For much of the past year, the idea of the Sacramento Kings trading for Jonathan Kuminga hovered around the league. The Kings were reportedly interested for quite some time, intrigued by Kuminga’s athletic upside and long-term ceiling.

The Sacramento Kings have a 13-46 record this season in the NBA. Sacramento could very well be on the verge of the number one pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
This season has officially gone down the tubes in Sacramento. The Kings own the league’s worst record at 13-46, and things have only unraveled further since the trade deadline.
