Sacramento Kings announce 2025-26 Opening Night Roster

Following a long offseason that culminated with the recent signing of nine-time All-Star guard Russell Westbrook, the Sacramento Kings have announced their roster for Opening Night.

Ahead of Wednesday night’s season-opener against Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento revealed a roster that has two surefire Hall of Famers (possibly more?), multiple-time All-Stars, and a crop of young players who are looking to burst onto the scene in 2025-26.

Here’s the full Sacramento Kings roster for the start of the 2025-26 season:

The start of the 2025-26 NBA season has arrived! Let’s take a look at the state of the Pacific Division as we head into what should be an interesting year for the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Phoenix Suns.

Here’s a brief preview for each team in the Pacific Division:

2025-26 NBA Pacific Division Preview

1. Golden State Warriors
2024-25 record: 48-34, third in the Pacific Division
Head coach: Steve Kerr, 12th season with the Warriors (567-308 record)

Coming and going: The no-cost addition of Al Horford is a godsend for the Warriors, who in recent years have been forced to send Draymond Green to battle out of position as a 5 with the likes of Nikola Jokic, Domantas Sabonis, Rudy Gobert and Alperen Sengun. In other news, Jonathan Kuminga is back … but for how long?

Numbers to crunch: The Warriors were 25-26 on the day they acquired Jimmy Butler III last February. They went 23-8 the rest of the regular season.

Season snapshot: With Horford, Green and Butler, the Warriors have their best defensive frontcourt in ages. And with Stephen Curry still filling up 3-pointers at about a 40-percent clip, they figure to have the requisite firepower as well.

The question is: How hard does Steve Kerr push his veterans to keep pace with the younger legs of the Thunder and Rockets in the West? Throw in the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks, and even winning 50 games might not get you home-court in the Western Conference playoffs. The Warriors’ final standing in the West could come down to their standing in the “rest” rankings.

2. Los Angeles Lakers
2024-25 record: 50-32, tied for first in the Pacific Division
Head coach: JJ Redick, second season with the Lakers (50-32 record)
