The Sacramento Kings' struggles continue to reach new depths this season. With their recent loss to the Orlando Magic, the Kings have set a new franchise record for consecutive losses, marking the longest losing streak of the 2025-2026 NBA season. It's a tough pill to swallow for fans hoping for a post-All-Star break resurgence.
Last night's game against the Magic ended in a 131-94 defeat, adding another blowout to a season filled with them. Hopes were high that the return of Keegan Murray might inject some much-needed energy into the team, but the outcome remained unchanged.
In the first half, Sacramento showed some fight, keeping the game within reach. Yet, the familiar pattern emerged as the second half unfolded, with the Kings unable to maintain their competitiveness. Consistency, albeit in the wrong direction, has been a hallmark of their season.
The Kings entered the All-Star break on a 14-game losing streak, and with the latest setback, they've extended it to 15 games. Their record now stands at a bleak 12 wins and 45 losses, placing them firmly at the bottom of the league standings.
Not only have they surpassed the Washington Wizards' previous record of 14 consecutive losses this season, but they've also etched their names in the wrong side of franchise history with this streak. And with the San Antonio Spurs up next, a team that dominated them earlier this season, the road ahead looks challenging.
The Kings are facing a formidable opponent, and the possibility of extending this streak looms large. It's a tough scenario, but Sacramento will need to dig deep to find a way to turn their fortunes around.
