Kings Playoff Seed
If the 2024-25 NBA regular season ended today, the Kings wouldn’t be in the playoffs. They trail the final play-in tournament spot by 1.5 games.
Sacramento was the No. 3 seed two years ago.
Last Time the Kings Made the Playoffs
The Kings made the playoffs in 2023, but they lost to the Golden State Warriors in seven games in the opening round.
It marked Sacramento’s first postseason appearance since 2006.
The Kings haven’t won an NBA championship since moving to Sacramento from Kansas City in 1985-86.
