Kings’ longtime top trainer is stepping down. Why he’ll ‘always’ be a part of the team

Pete Youngman has been with the Kings for 25 years. Although he’s not leaving the team, his role is changing.

Youngman will no longer serve as the team’s director of sports medicine, the team announced Wednesday. He will remain with the Kings as a senior adviser.

“I have cherished my time with the Kings and want to thank Vlade, Coach Joerger and the incredible staff for the opportunity,” Youngman said in a news release. “I am very proud of our team and staff, look forward to my next steps in this new role and I am confident we have a bright future ahead of us.
