SACRAMENTO KINGS

The Kings slid from 46 wins in 2023-24 to 40 wins in 2024-25 and then collapsed to 22-60 in 2025-26, the worst record in the Western Conference. De'Aaron Fox was traded to San Antonio during the 2024-25 season after Mike Brown's firing, while Domantas Sabonis suffered a season-ending injury in 2025-26 alongside Zach LaVine and DeAndre Hunter during a historic 16-game losing streak. Fox cards saw initial uncertainty after the trade but have since stabilized with his pairing alongside Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio, while Sabonis cards cooled significantly as injuries and the team's rebuild tanked collector interest in Sacramento players.

Where they stand: The 2025-26 season ended with a franchise-worst 22-60 record and elimination from playoff contention for the third straight year. The Kings are now in offseason mode, having selected point guard Darius Acuff Jr. with the seventh overall pick in the 2026 draft, waived DeMar DeRozan to clear salary, and traded away 2024 first-rounder Devin Carter as new GM Scott Perry prioritizes a youth-focused rebuild and financial flexibility heading into 2026-27.
