We don’t print a price for the Kings here yet. No Canadian sportsbook feed covers the NBA for us, and an American number isn’t a fair guide to what you’ll see in your province.

Sacramento Kings history
The Rochester Royals joined the National Basketball League in 1945 and won its title in their first season. They moved to the BAA in 1948, a year before it merged with the NBL to form the NBA. In 1951 the Royals beat New York 4-3 to win the NBA title.
The club moved to Cincinnati in 1957. Oscar Robertson arrived in 1960 and stayed 10 seasons. The franchise became the Kansas City-Omaha Kings in 1972 and dropped Omaha from the name in 1975. It moved to Sacramento for the 1985-86 season.
Chris Webber, Vlade Divac and Peja Stojaković led the Kings of the early 2000s. They went 61-21 in 2001-02, the league’s best record, and lost the conference finals to the Lakers in seven games. A 16-year playoff drought ended in 2023. Three seasons later the Kings went 22-60.
Most famous player: Oscar Robertson
Oscar Robertson joined the Cincinnati Royals as the first pick in 1960 and was Rookie of the Year in his first season. He won the MVP award in 1963-64 and was an All-Star in each of his 10 seasons with the club. His No. 14 is retired.
He still leads the franchise in points, with 22,009, and in assists. Sam Lacey, who played for the club from 1970 to 1981, holds the records for rebounds, steals, blocks and games.
