The 2021–22 NBA season was the 77th season for the Sacramento Kings in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and 38th season in the city of Sacramento.[1] The Kings entered the season with the longest NBA playoff appearance drought in league history with 15 seasons, tying the record with the Los Angeles Clippers.[2] The last time the team had qualified for the playoffs was in 2006. In the 2021 NBA draft, the Kings selected Davion Mitchell from Baylor University with the ninth pick.[3]
On November 22, head coach Luke Walton was fired after a mediocre 6–11 start; he was then replaced by Alvin Gentry on an interim basis.[4] For the 16th season in a row, the Sacramento Kings failed to reach the Playoffs, and thus passing the Clippers for the longest playoff drought in NBA history. Following the season, the Kings' fired Gentry as head coach.
