Welcome to NBA News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NBA fans. Hit subscribe and stay connected. The Sacramento Kings are stumbling toward one of their worst seasons ever, sitting at 14 wins and 50 losses with just 18 games left that puts them on pace for 18 total wins, one more than their franchise low of 17 wins and 65 losses back in the 0809 season. Right now they hold the worst record in the NBA. After their 50th loss, Guard Malik Monk called this the craziest year of his career. He's seen ups and downs across teams like the Hornets, Lakers, and now four years with the Kings, but nothing like this stretch of constant defeats. Monk had a chance to leave in free agency last off season, but chose to resign with Sacramento for less money than expected. This year though, he's posting his worst numbers as a King, playing only 22 minutes per game compared to 31 last season. The team is loaded with veterans like Demar DeRosen, Russell Westbrook, and Drew U-Binks,
who are logging heavy minutes in blowout losses. Marau is low, especially since the front office is eyeing the top draft lottery spot. With no playoff hopes, Monk just wants to stay healthy and reach the summer. The Kings are pushing for that prime draft position, even if it means tanking through the final games.
