NBA fans across the nation will get an early look at the Kings in a city that was almost their home.
ESPN on Thursday announced it would televise five preseason games. The second game on the schedule: Kings vs. the Golden State Warriors in Seattle.
The game, which tips off Oct. 5 at KeyArena, is the first NBA action in the city since the SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008 and became the Thunder.
While it’s only one of six preseason games for the Kings, it could bring back some uneasy memories for Kings fans and NBA followers in Seattle, considering the team could have relocated to the city in 2013.
