2006–07 Sacramento Kings season

The 2006–07 Sacramento Kings season was the 62nd season of the franchise, its 58th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 22nd in Sacramento. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 44–38 output from the previous season. However, they came eleven wins shy of tying it, finishing 33–49.[1] They missed the playoffs for the first time since 1998, and marked a downturn in the kings' history, as it started a long period of futility for the team. From 2007 to 2022, the Kings failed to make the NBA playoffs or have a winning record. The drought would be the longest in NBA history.
