The Sacramento Kings continue to make history \u2014 just not in the way anyone in the organization or fans would want.<\/p>\n

Through 60 games, the Kings have already lost eight games by 30 points or more. Eight. That\u2019s the most in a single season in franchise history.<\/p>\n

To put that in perspective, the infamous 2008-09 Sacramento Kings \u2014 the group that finished 17-65 and is widely considered the worst team of the Sacramento era \u2014 had seven losses of 30-plus all year.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s team has already surpassed that mark with more than 20 games still to play.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Kings have lost more games by 30+ points this season than in any other year in franchise history.<\/p>\n

The only other Sacramento Kings seasons even close? 1988-89 (five such losses), and you have to go back to the early \u201870s \u2014 the Cincinnati and Kansas City days \u2014 to round out the top five. This isn\u2019t just a rough stretch. It\u2019s unprecedented.<\/p>\n

And zoom out league-wide, it gets worse.<\/p>\n

According to the Associated Press\u2019 Josh Dubow<\/a>, the 2025-26 Kings and Washington Wizards are just two of five teams in NBA history to lose by 30 or more eight times within their first 60 games of a season.<\/p>\n

The others: the 2011-12 Charlotte Bobcats (who finished 7-59 in the lockout-shortened season), the 1990-91 Denver Nuggets, and the 1970-71 Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the company.<\/p>\n

Of course, this isn\u2019t the first record that the 2025-26 Kings have accomplished. Sacramento lost 17 straight games from January 18th through February 21st, going over a month without a win.<\/p>\n

The Kings\u2019 17-game losing streak surpassed the 1971-72 and 1959-60 Cincinnati Royals for the longest losing streak since the team was founded in 1923.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all bad for the Sacramento Kings, though. They currently own the worst record in the NBA, giving them a 52.1% chance of landing a top-four pick and a 14.0% chance of winning May\u2019s NBA Draft Lottery.<\/p>\n
