The Sacramento Kings lost yet again, this time to the Denver Nuggets by six points. While the starters played well, the Kings left a lot of people on the bench. That includes most of their rookies who need consistent minutes to develop, particularly Dylan Cardwell and Maxime Raynaud.
So far, the 2025-2026 season has been the story of the Kings trying the same thing over and over, then wondering why it's not working. Sacramento currently has a record of two and five, putting them in the basement of both the Western Conference and the league.
What's interesting is that the starters and regular benchers all played well.
