“We like our team,” Brown said. “And the guys have been competitive. They’re learning and growing throughout this process and getting a little bit better. So it’s a good challenge for us.”

The Sacramento Kings entered the 2022-23 season hoping to break a 16-year playoff drought. After hiring Mike Brown as the team’s new coach, the Kings drafted Keegan Murray as the number four overall pick. They continued to make moves over the summer, trading for Kevin Huerter and signing multiple free agents, including guard Malik Monk.
While silent at the NBA trade deadline, the team sits at third in the Western Conference heading into the All-Star game.
