Fans can attend the Kings Playoffs Playground at Ali Youssefi Square near the intersection of K and 7th Streets before or after the rally.

“This free fan zone will provide guests the opportunity to test their basketball skills, create a one-of-a-kind commemorative action figure of themselves in Kings gear, take a photo with the famed 6th Man Statue (formerly located at ARCO Arena), capture a video of themselves lighting the beam and make a custom cheer card,” the team said in a press release. “Select Playoffs merchandise will also be available for purchase. A game ticket is not required for entry into the Playoffs Playground, which will be open from 12-8 p.m. on game days, both home and away, with additional dates added at the discretion of the team.”

The three-seeded Kings host the sixth-seeded Golden State Warriors for Game 1 on Saturday, April 15, at the Golden 1 Center. Tip-off is set for 5:30 p.m.
