The Sacramento Kings could wind up backing into the playoffs this season.
The Sacramento Kings currently sport the longest active postseason drought in the NBA today and one of the longest in professional American sports. But that drought could be coming to an end in the near future.
Only not in the way that many Kings fans would have envisioned.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday that the NBA was considering a playoff format that could include anywhere from 20 to 24 teams. The Kings would likely be a part of such a format.
