How Olympic Postponement Affects The Sacramento Kings

Along with the NBA’s current hiatus with an unknown timetable, the 2020 Summer Olympics that were set to take place in Tokyo have been postponed until at least 2021. Depending on how you view international competition, the postponement could be beneficial for the Sacramento Kings’ immediate future.

Despite their history of ineptitude and current state of disappointment, the Kings are actually one of the teams with the most potential Olympians. This is largely due to the international presence on their roster. Not only do both guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and forward Nemanja Bjelica play for Team Serbia, but assistant coach Igor Kokoškov is the newly appointed head coach of the Serbs.
