Sacramento Kings Summer League 2021 roster, dates, and complete schedule
The Sacramento Kings' 2020-21 NBA campaign ended on a disappointing note, as the franchise did not qualify for the postseason. The defense was the biggest letdown for the Kings, and the front office will now try to add the right pieces to consolidate on that end of the floor.
The Sacramento Kings brought Richaun Holmes back, but are expected to lose Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hield and Marvin Bagley III in the offseason. They start their summer games schedule by hosting the California Classic Summer League, which will also feature the LA Lakers, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors.
In this article, we will reveal the Sacramento Kings' roster and schedule for the upcoming summer league events -
