The Sacramento Kings concluded their preseason with a disappointing 0-5 record, suffering a 113-91 defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers. In light of their performance, the Kings made several roster changes, including the signing of Shareef O’Neal, son of NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal.

O’Neal will start the season with the Stockton Kings in the G League, following a stint with G League Ignite where he averaged 5.6 points and 3.1 rebounds. The Kings are set to begin their regular season on October 24 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Sacramento Kings have decided to waive rookie guard Boogie Ellis ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season opener. Despite a solid preseason where he averaged 9.0 points and demonstrated strong shooting skills, the Kings opted for a different direction.

Ellis, a USC product who went undrafted, had made a notable impression during the Summer League and preseason games. His performance included a standout game against the San Antonio Spurs, showcasing his potential as a valuable player.

The Sacramento Kings concluded their preseason with a disappointing 0-5 record after a 113-91 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Their shooting struggles persisted, highlighted by a poor three-point shooting percentage of 25.4% across the preseason.

Doug McDermott stood out with a commendable performance, shooting 36.4% from beyond the arc, while Domantas Sabonis had a solid game with 24 points and 9 rebounds. However, the team's 22 turnovers and overall shooting inefficiency raised concerns as they head into the regular season.

The Sacramento Kings narrowly lost to the Golden State Warriors 109-106, but the performance of the starters was a bright spot. Keegan Murray led the team with 17 points, showcasing his offensive skills and defensive prowess with five steals.

Despite a rocky start, the Kings improved their three-point defense, holding the Warriors to a lower shooting percentage. However, the bench struggled offensively due to injuries and absences, though Boogie Ellis stepped up with a solid performance, adding 11 points.
