Finding Family as Kings Team Members

Throughout the team’s 30 years in Sacramento, there are a select few who, while not always seen, have remained a constant in the Kings family.

SB Nation’s Blake Ellington recently profiled several longtime members of the organization to get an inside look at their careers at Sleep Train Arena.

John DeGrace’s journey began when the team first arrived, and he simply wanted to find a way to attend Sacramento’s 1985 home opener. He found an opening by earning a position with the organization. Fast-forward 30 years and DeGrace is still with the team, advancing from an entry-level role as an usher to becoming senior manger of facility maintenance.
