Before NBA summer teams tip off at Golden 1 Center next week for the California Classic, the Sacramento Kings Foundation will hold a forum Monday afternoon for local youth, in partnership with NBA legend Isiah Thomas and the Build. Black. Coalition.
More than 200 students from the Sacramento area are expected to participate in the forum, which will include a writing workshop and discussion with Thomas, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member, according to a news release.
Those 200-plus middle and high school students are members of the Kings and Queens Rise League, which launched earlier in June.
