Kings basketball is back!
After the NBA was on pause for over four months due to the coronavirus pandemic, play has resumed in the Orlando bubble. The Kings have an eight-game sprint to the finish in order to try to make the playoffs, which they can do by either passing the Memphis Grizzlies in the standings or finishing within 3 1/2 games of the final overall seed to force a play-in round with that team.
The Kings' first game is a crucial one, as they face the San Antonio Spurs, who sit just a half-game behind Sacramento in the standings. The Kings' hopes of snapping their 13-year playoff drought could ride on winning this game vs. San Antonio.
