The Kings ended the 2017-18 season out of the playoffs for the 12th consecutive season, now the longest streak in the NBA.

After beating the Houston Rockets 96-83 in the season finale Wednesday at Golden 1 Center, the Kings finished 27-55, tied with Chicago for the sixth-worst record in the NBA.
Barring phenomenal development from one of their young players, the 2018-19 Kings might be better in the standings but still are likely to finish with a losing record.
