Doug Christie has officially been named head coach of the Sacramento Kings, signing a multiyear contract to remove his interim tag. After taking over mid-season, Christie guided the Kings to a 27-24 record, showcasing significant improvement in offensive efficiency. His leadership saw the team excel in clutch situations, but they struggled down the stretch with a 7-13 finish. Christie plans to restructure his coaching staff during the off-season.

The Kings have also brought in Scott Perry as their new general manager, shortly after parting ways with Monte McNair. This change comes in the wake of a disappointing season, culminating in a home loss during the play-in tournament. With Christie at the helm, the franchise looks to build on the progress made under his leadership.
