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]

Following the season, the Kings' fired Gentry as head coach.
