Kings Preseason Preview & Rookie Battles | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings kick off their preseason with a stacked slate designed to test their young talent against NBA veterans, featuring matchups like Darius Acuff Jr. and Emanuel Sharp against stars like Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine. The broadcast crew is back in full force, with Mark Jones and Kayte Christensen calling the action, while Morgan Ragan and Deuce Mason—whose childhood fandom adds extra passion—handle pre and post-game. The season opener? A home-and-home with the Lakers, a tough test after Sacramento’s recent struggles against LA. Next up: a rematch showdown with the Warriors, where rookie Alex Karaban faces off against Summer League MVP Yaxel Lendeborg, followed by Portland and a trip to San Antonio to battle the Spurs—where second-year standout Maxime Raynaud, already comparing himself to Jokic and Wembanyama, could shine against the future of the league.
