The Kings are looking for players who can help them find a way forward under new general manager Scott Perry and head coach Doug Christie. Sacramento lost in the play-in tournament for the second year in a row last season after going 40-42 to finish ninth in the Western Conference.

LAS VEGAS — Rookie Kon Knueppel’s team-high 21 points and a lightning-fast start helped fuel the Charlotte Hornets to a hard-fought 83-78 win over the Sacramento Kings in the NBA 2K26 Summer League championship game at Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Kneuppel was named the championship game MVP.
