With the full slate of games in the upcoming 2021-22 season finally released, it may come as a shock to some the Sacramento Kings have received no nationally televised games. This comes as little surprise after the Kings failed to improve on a 31-41 record following a year with no nationally televised games outside of NBA TV.
As many fans begrudgingly are already well-aware, Sacramento has failed to post a winning record and make a postseason performance since 2006. This lack of success is an understandable yet lackluster explanation for why the Kings wouldn’t get the attention I believe they deserve.
