The Kings entered the season with the current longest NBA playoff appearance drought at 13 seasons, last qualifying in 2006. Following a record of 39–43 the previous season, the Kings' head coach Dave Joerger was fired on April 11, 2019.[1] Two days later, they hired former Lakers coach Luke Walton.[2] The Kings hired former Suns head coach Igor Kokoškov as an assistant coach.[3]
The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[4] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert had tested positive for COVID-19.[5] On July 5, the NBA announced a return of the season which would involve 22 teams playing in the NBA Bubble at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.[6] Each of the remaining 22 teams would play eight seeding games to determine positioning for the NBA playoffs.[6] The Kings resumed play on July 31.[7] But a 129–112 loss to the Houston Rockets eliminated the Kings from playoff contention for a 14th season in a row, extending the third longest active drought among all four North American major professional sports leagues.

The Sacramento Kings hold no first-round picks, but three second round picks. Their first-round pick was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2015 and the 76ers conditionally traded it to the Boston Celtics in the days entering the 2017 NBA draft.[8][9] The lottery selection the team had failed to reach the 1st pick, meaning the pick goes to the Boston Celtics.[10] The 47th pick would be traded to the New York Knicks for Kyle Guy and cash considerations.
