Sacramento fired head coach Luke Walton 17 games into the 2021-22 season after the team started the year with an 6-11 record. Alvin Gentry took over and led the team to a 24-41 record.
Even with the sub-.500 record, the Kings managed to stay in contention for a spot in the Play-In Tournament until early April. However, Sacramento still came up short – extending their playoff drought to 16-straight seasons.
Whoever takes the job will be the 12th head coach for the Kings since Rick Adelman left in 2006, the last season the Kings made the postseason.
