The Kings’ playoff drought will continue for an NBA-record 16th straight season following their 109-90 loss to the Warriors on Sunday.
Prior to Sunday’s game, the Kings were two and a half games behind the Los Angeles Lakers and three and a half games behind the Spurs for the final play-in spot in the Western Conference. With the team’s official elimination from playoff contention after the loss to the Warriors, the Kings must now look ahead to the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery where, as of right now, they hold the No. 7 position.earlier in the week, they had a 37.
While the team’s winning ways over the last six games were inspiring, Sacramento’s chances of landing a top draft pick have now fallen several points and, in the end, their hopes of fighting for a playoff spot were shattered with Sunday’s loss.
