The Sacramento Kings unveiled their 2025-26 NBA preseason schedule Monday as the team prepares for its first full season under coach Doug Christie. The Kings will play the first of four preseason games when they host the Toronto Raptors on Oct. 8 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.

On Monday, the Kings made another key decision regarding their final open roster spot as they came to terms with a three-point sharpshooter. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Kings are signing Doug McDermott to a one-year, $3.6 million contract.

The Sacramento Kings made a strong move by hiring Scott Perry to be their new general manager, and it is no secret that he has been looking to change things up.

Simmons was previously linked to the Knicks by insider Ian Begley of SNY, who reported the team still has a spot for a player at the veteran minimum signing. The Knicks could avoid the salary cap's second apron by signing Simmons and adding one rookie deal, according to Begley.

The Sacramento Kings were named among the NBA teams that got worse this offseason as their long-term plan remains unclear.

NBA insider Jake Fischer reported the Kings and New York Knicks have shown interest in Simmons, a three-time All-Star who is available as an unrestricted free agent.

The Sacramento Kings are in the market for a guard, and Russell Westbrook is reportedly among the options—alongside a former No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick.
