The Sacramento Kings (1-3) have now finished their four-game pre-season beating the Los Angeles Lakers (1-5) 117-116 Friday night with some very promising play from starters and their bench also showed a lot of promise as well.
A lot of the starters sat this game out with assorted injury, most of them not serious and illness. The high for Sacramento in this game was Dennis Schroeder with 25 points. Every starter turned in double digits. Keon Ellis was terrific off the bench with 20 points hitting six of nine from downtown.
Game recap: The first quarter got underway with the noticeable absence of Keegan Murray who had surgery on Monday for a torn ulnar collateral ligament in this left thumb. He will be out for the start of the season and will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks.
Domantas Sabonis has been ruled out with a mild right hamstrong strain and Malik Monk out with illness will join him on the sideline. DeMar DeRozan will not play with right groin soreness. After the first twelve minutes of play the Kings had a slim 36-34 lead.
Dylan Cardwell had another nice quarter with four rebounds after coming away from last Wednesday’s game with seven rebounds and four points. Nique Clifford had seven points in the quarter.
As the second quarter came to an end the Los Angeles Lakers outscored the Kings 27-22 taking a 61-58 lead into the locker room. Zach LaVine had yet another nice game scoring 13 points with four rebounds in the half. Keon Ellis had a solid game off the bench scoring 12 points going four of five from downtown.
The Kings had a lot of turnovers in the first half with 11. Both teams were shooting 45% from beyond the arc and Sacramento was 90% from the line. The Kings out-rebounded the Lakers 16-13 doing a nice job on defense.
In the third quarter, the Lakers began to establish a sizable lead 76-65 with 6:34 left on the clock. Sacramento cut the Lakers lead to 76-71 but Los Angeles pushed back taking an 81-71 lead. After three quarters the Lakers held a 90-86 lead. The Kings had five players in double figures but they were still struggling with turnovers committing 16 to the Lakers eight.
This game went into the fourth quarter, the last chance for some of these guys to make a statement, to impress. Keon Ellis was killing it hitting six of seven from beyond the arc mid-way through the quarter; he was on a roll Friday night and finished with six of nine for 20 points. The high for the Kings was Dennis Schroeder with 25 points and every starter in the game had double digits.
Game notes: Friday night the Kings played their fourth pre-season game taking on the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena. Last Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers in Sacramento as expected both teams played the bench for extended minutes with the Kings Nique Clifford coming away with the high of the night for Sacramento with 19 points in 20 minutes.
Domantas Sabonis showed some signs of coming around with a double double 14 rebounds and 15 points. The best news of all for the Kings this week was the signing of Russell Westbrook to a non-guaranteed one-year deal.
The former MVP and nine-time All-Star led the league in career triple-doubles and was named to the 75th Anniversary Team. Now the Kings will get to see Westbrook and Malik Monk off the bench creating all kinds of havoc. This will be a great way for the Kings to go into the 2025-26 season. This will also create an added dynamic on the bench for Keon Ellis and Devin Carter to have to deal with.
The Kings will now make a lot of decisions as they determine their starting lineup as well as their bench. Wednesday night October 22nd the Kings will kick off their season at Mortgage Matchup Center taking on the Phoenix Suns. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The Kings desperately need some good vibes going into the season. Heading into Wednesday’s game against the Clippers, the Kings had lost both of their preseason games—and both were ugly. Wednesday was no different as the Kings fell to the Clippers 109-91 at Golden 1 Center.
The Kings’ first-half stats were abysmal as they went 16-for-41 from the field, 3-for-18 from three, and trailed 60-40 at halftime. The team’s leading scorer in the first half was Zach LaVine with nine points. Domantas Sabonis had seven points and 12 rebounds in 24 minutes of action before being pulled with a hamstring injury, per the Kings.
The Kings’ effort to implement a fast-paced offense while playing gritty, hard-nosed, accountable defense has proven unfruitful so far. Through the end of the third quarter, nothing was going right for Sacramento as they trailed 90-61 heading into the final frame. The Kings weren’t imposing themselves on the defensive end, and they weren’t making any shots on the other.
In the fourth quarter, the Kings outscored the Clippers 30-19, but it was too little too late. The Kings’ lone bright spot and leading scorer at the end of the game was Nique Clifford. Clifford, who has played well in all three of the Kings’ preseason games, scored 19 points, grabbed three rebounds, and added a block and a steal in the contest. The Kings ultimately fell to the Clippers, but it was good to see solid minutes from the rookie they traded up to draft.
“I’ve definitely just been trying to find a flow within our group,” the rookie said after the game. “Kinda trying to establish my role and what I can bring to the team. I’ve been trying to bring energy and effort, the two things I can focus on… I’ve been trying to focus on energy and defense.”
That’s not only good to hear for Kings fans, but Nique has been backing it up with his play this preseason. However, the same can’t be said about many others in the group. And that, albeit in preseason, is a concerning trend to watch as the Kings begin the regular season in one week in Phoenix against the Suns.
“I told them, you have to learn how to win ugly games,” Doug Christie said after the game. “That game there, they weren’t making shots at the beginning of the game. But there was a flow, the ball was moving, they got some good open looks. You didn’t make ’em, so that should not affect the way that you play on the defensive end of the floor. It just can’t.”
Doug also talked about the details and honing in on that for the Kings on the defensive end—something that sounds like an echo from last year under former head coach Mike Brown.
“I told them early on, I said the road to success is full of potholes and is always under construction, so this is not going to be a simple, easy fix.”
Without overreacting to preseason action, this is certainly not an easy fix. In fact, it may be an impossible one. The details, sloppy defense, and lack of effective offense are what got Mike Brown fired last season. He was, in fact, preaching the same points of emphasis that Scott Perry and Doug Christie are this season. The players currently on the Kings’ roster have, en masse, have not shown a willingness to adapt their style to the identity the Kings are trying to employ. Again, it’s preseason—I get it. However, I’d be shocked if these issues magically disappear come Wednesday night in Phoenix.
Up Next: The Kings will travel to Los Angeles on Thursday to take on the Lakers in their final preseason game of the year.
Note: Domantas Sabonis left the game after 24 minutes of action with a right hamstring issue. After the game, Doug Christie told the media he had not yet been updated on his condition.

SACRAMENTO–In what is otherwise a quiet time across the association, the Sacramento Kings made two moves on Wednesday to secure their future and add further depth to their roster for the upcoming season.
On Wednesday morning, it was reported by ESPN that the Kings were in agreement with free agent guard Russell Westbrook. Westbrook, who played last season in Denver, averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game in his age 36 season. The deal is reported to be worth $3.6 million for one season.
Doug Christie met with the media before the Kings’ third preseason game on Wednesday and refused to comment on unofficial deals. However, Doug spoke about the player Westbrook is and what he brings to any team he joins.
“Always been a big fan,” Doug said. “Been a Russell Westbrook fan for a long time… the things that he’s been able to do in this league speak for themselves.”
The other move the Kings made on Wednesday was reportedly re-signing Keegan Murray to a long-term deal, per ESPN. Murray is currently injured and will miss the start of the season and likely part of the end of the year. However, that didn’t stop the Kings from finalizing a five-year, $140 million deal with the small forward from Iowa. Keegan averaged 12.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists for the Kings last season in his age 24 season. The new deal, which is expected to be finalized soon, will take Murray through the end of the 2030–31 season.
Doug Christie also spoke on Murray but not explicitly about the reported new deal.
“Incredibly versatile player,” Christie said. “I love him as a person… we truly, truly appreciate him here.”
The Kings take on the LA Clippers on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. PST at Golden 1 center in their third preseason game.

On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Barbara Mason:
#1 Looking at Wednesday night’s matchup, how do you see the Los Angeles Kings containing the Los Angeles Clippers’ wing scorers like Kawhi Leonard and point guards—do you expect any specific defensive wrinkles?”
#2 Coach Doug Christie mentioned player development this preseason—who are you keeping an eye on Wednesday night among the younger guys trying to crack the rotation?”
#3 The Kings and Clippers have had some fireworks in the past couple seasons. Do you think there’s still a little extra juice in this matchup, even in the preseason?”
#4 One thing that’s been heard in camp is a focus on defense and rebounding. What are the keys Wednesday night for Sacramento to control the glass and limit second chances?”
#5 Big picture, what do you see the Kings accomplishing Wednesday night that shows they’re progressing toward opening night form?

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento Kings will be without their best team defender and arguably their best individual defender to start the 2025-2026 NBA campaign.
Per the team, Keegan Murray left the game on Friday against Portland with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. Keegan will undergo surgery and will be reevaluated in 4-6 weeks.
Going into his fourth season, Keegan was viewed by many as a real X-factor for the Kings’ success this season. Keegan will be a restricted free agent going into the summer of 2026 and was certainly playing for a large contract during this season if all went according to plan.
It was a tough blow for the Kings, who are trying to implement a defense and effort-first mentality that Keegan’s game fits very well into. Now, the Kings will need to rally together to fill the large defensive void that Keegan leaves behind until his return, most likely in December. However, his exact return date remains unclear and may be longer.
Kings head coach Doug Christie had his initial reactions with the media on Sunday after the news came out.
“It’s tough,” Doug said. “Obviously, it’s the nature of our business though. You just gotta deal with it. I feel sorry for him. All the work that he has put in. He’ll be fine. He will be able to work out and do things but obviously not use his hands. Send him lots of love and get well soon.”
It’s not yet decided how the Kings plan to fill the void. Doug Christie spoke further on how the Kings may replace Keegan’s contributions.
“Yeah, it’s tough. Keegan has size, strength, athleticism, and he shoots 40%. So I think everyone’s looking for that. We have a couple different guys that could maybe equal Keegan, but we don’t have Keegan. Replacing it is definitely difficult, but guys have other strengths… we don’t know. We will have to wait and see.”

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO — The new-look Sacramento Kings were in action on Wednesday night for game one of four preseason games the team is slated to play. The Kings fell to the Raptors 130-122 inside Golden 1 Center on a crisp fall evening.
During training camp prior to the preseason, the emphasis was clearly on two things. Doug Christie wants the Kings to be the most well-conditioned team in the NBA, and he wants them to pick up 94 feet. These two things are directly related to the identity that Christie and GM Scott Perry are attempting to implement come the start of the regular season.
Before the game, I asked Doug Christie what goals he had or what he wanted to see from his squad in game one of the preseason.
“I just want to play to our identity. That’s really it,” Christie said. “I mean, if we do that consistently with talent and all those different things that you need, I believe the byproduct of that is winning.”
What is that identity Doug is speaking about? The Kings have said it is centered around six pillars: competitive, tough, team-oriented, disciplined, accountable, and professional.
In the first three quarters, the Kings failed Christie’s expectation to play to the identity he is trying to implement, as they gave up 97 points. The gritty defense and high-motor effort he’s emphasizing were nowhere to be found. Granted, it’s the first game of the preseason, and any critiques should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, it wasn’t an encouraging look for the Kings and their quest to establish their new identity.
Christie didn’t mince words about the team’s effort as it pertained to the identity he’s trying to see.
“Out of that whole game, you probably got Kings identity maybe two quarters, a quarter and a half—I’ll say a quarter and a half. So the consistency of what we expect needs to be able to be at a higher level for a longer period of time.”
Christie also addressed a question from Sactown Sports reporter Brenden Nunes about how he felt the team picked up 94 feet, an emphasis throughout camp.
“… In the first half, they were 30%. So that’s unacceptable,” Doug said. “And we talked about it. Eighty-five is the number. So that means out of all the opportunities that you get when someone turns around with the basketball, they know what you ate for breakfast.”
Zach LaVine led the Kings in scoring in the first half with 15 points but didn’t play the rest of the game. It appeared to be planned rest for LaVine, with nothing physically wrong. The Kings’ leading scorer through the first three quarters was Domantas Sabonis, who had 19 points and four rebounds in nearly 23 minutes on the court. Keegan Murray also caught my attention, displaying a new level of aggression during his time on the floor.
In the fourth quarter, Devin Carter, Isaiah Stevens, Dylan Cardwell, Maxime Raynaud, and Nique Clifford changed the entire tempo of the game. The Kings outscored the Raptors 44-33 in the final quarter as the reserve lineup brought much-needed intensity and effort to the floor. Raynaud didn’t check into the game until the fourth quarter but brought an infectious energy, at one point urging the fans at Golden 1 Center to get loud as the Kings made a last-minute effort to get back into the game.
I asked Doug if some of the chemistry with that last unit was prebuilt from Summer League and how they handled their minutes.
“I mean, I expect that from them. Yeah, a little bit of that [Summer League chemistry] probably… They played Kings basketball. Identity-wise, that’s what you saw and that’s what we expect.”
Domantas Sabonis was impressed with the play of the last unit on the court late in the game.
“They did amazing,” Sabonis told me after the game. “They came, they waited for their turn, they came out, brought the energy, brought the basketball that Doug wants us to play, and props to them. They came out. We, as the starters, should have done our part.”
Maxime Raynaud, even with limited experience at this point in the NBA, said he and the group are holding each other accountable to learn and be better—not just for one quarter, but for the whole game.
“I do think that we managed to keep the score reasonable during that [fourth] quarter, but it’s not about us, not about one quarter. Again, it’s four quarters, as you all know, and we’re a group. We all need to step up to the highest possible level. So in that sense, I think we all have a ton to learn from—young guys, old guys, stars, everything.”
Overall, Doug was firm in his message to the players after the game. He is demanding to see a better effort in what he calls “the fight.”
“I’ve talked to them about—there’s two games every night. There’s the game and there’s the fight. So we got 164 games. Every night, we’re going to win one of ’em. If we win both, we’re doing something… So unfortunately, we lost both of the games tonight. Unacceptable. And that will be, hopefully, the last time that happens. That was my conversation with them.”
The Kings will practice on Thursday before flying to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers on Friday at 7 p.m. PST in Portland, Oregon.
