The 2019–20 Sacramento Kings season was the 75th season of the franchise, its 71st season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 35th in Sacramento.
The Kings entered the season with the current longest NBA playoff appearance drought at 13 seasons, last qualifying in 2006. Following a record of 39–43 the previous season, the Kings' head coach Dave Joerger was fired on April 11, 2019.[1] Two days later, they hired former Lakers coach Luke Walton.[2] The Kings hired former Suns head coach Igor Kokoškov as an assistant coach.[3]
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[4] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert had tested positive for COVID-19.[5] On July 5, the NBA announced a return of the season which would involve 22 teams playing in the NBA Bubble at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.[6] Each of the remaining 22 teams would play eight seeding games to determine positioning for the NBA playoffs. The Kings resumed play on July 31.[7] But a 129–112 loss to the Houston Rockets eliminated the Kings from playoff contention for a 14th season in a row, extending the third longest active drought among all four North American major professional sports leagues.
