The Sacramento Kings, who are good now, no longer have the longest active playoff drought in major American professional sports.
As my colleague, Mike Sykes, wrote: Sacramento might suddenly be a legitimate threat to make the NBA Finals. Now that the Kings have officially clinched their first playoff berth since 2006, the New York Jets have taken over as the team that can’t quite make it to the postseason.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have taken over that title from the Kings in the NBA. Led by Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum, the Hornets last earned a spot in the playoffs back in 2017.
