Yet on Wednesday, at a Golden 1 Center Brown once called home, the 10-30 Kings secured win No. 11 in a 112-101 victory over the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed. The Kings led by as many as 25 points without All-Star center Domantas Sabonis, emerging forward Keegan Murray or veteran point guard Dennis Schroder. The Knicks' struggles were apparent long before Jalen Brunson exited the game with a right ankle injury at the 7:01 mark of the first quarter.

Jonathan Kuminga has been cast in many roles during his eventful Warriors career. A 2021 lottery pick with limitless potential. A rookie who played spot playoff minutes for the 2022 champions. An inconsistent scorer who oscillated between starting and the bench for the better part of four years. A restricted free agent seemingly on the verge of leaving this summer before agreeing to a two-year, $46 million deal.

They are an unmitigated disaster (tell me if you've heard that before!), sporting the league's fifth-worst offense and third-worst defense. Sacramento will also be without star big Domantas Sabonis (meniscus tear) for the next month. The beam is shut off, and the Kings should be on the precipice of a fire sale ... if owner Vivek Ranadive will commit to it.

Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals is the site of the most infamous conspiracy theory in recent NBA history. The Sacramento Kings were playing the Lakers for a trip to the Finals down in L.A., and despite losing on a revolting, miraculous Robert Horry buzzer-beater in Game 4, they won Game 5 and were in good position to win Game 6.

Doug McDermott has agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal to return to the Sacramento Kings, marking his fourth season with the team.
