The 2022–23 Sacramento Kings season is the 78th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and 39th season in the city of Sacramento.[1] On April 11, 2022, the Sacramento Kings relieved interim head coach Alvin Gentry of his duties. Gentry was named interim head coach after the team fired Luke Walton in November 2021.[2] On May 9, 2022, the Sacramento Kings hired Golden State Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown to become the Kings' new head coach.[3] After the Seattle Mariners qualified for the Playoffs for the first time since 2001, the Kings entered this season with the longest active postseason drought in the four major North American sports with their last playoff appearance in 2006.[4] Despite starting 0–4, they improved on their 30–52 record from last year by winning their 31st game on February 8, and have won their first Pacific Division title since 2003, after putting an end to an NBA-record 16 season-long playoff drought.

On March 12, against the Suns, the Kings reached the 40-win mark for the first time since the 2005–06 season. Three days later, the Kings won their 41st game, ending an NBA-record 16 consecutive losing seasons. The day after winning their 41st game, they secured their first winning season in 17 years with their win over the Brooklyn Nets.[5] On March 29, the Kings clinched their first postseason berth since 2006 with their win over the Portland Trail Blazers, ending the longest playoff drought in NBA history and the longest active postseason drought in the four major North American sports.[6][7]
