Where the Kings are at with opening day a month away

The Sacramento Kings are scheduled to open their 2026-2027 NBA regular season on Wednesday, October 21, on the road against the LA Clippers. As the offseason winds down, the Kings still face several roster decisions before the campaign begins, including determining their full rotation under head coach Doug Christie.

Sacramento enters the upcoming season aiming to rebound from an injury-plagued 2025-2026 campaign. The team must still finalize its last main roster spot and a two-way contract, while projecting key contributors such as Domantas Sabonis, Keegan Murray, and De'Andre Hunter.
