As for the Kings, they finished the 2023-24 season as the 10th seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

They beat Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in their first play-in tournament game but lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in the second, so they missed the NBA playoffs.

That said, the Kings have a talented roster led by De'Aaron Fox.
