2015–16 Sacramento Kings season
The 2015–16 Sacramento Kings season was the 71st season of the franchise, its 68th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 31st in Sacramento. It will also be their final season at Sleep Train Arena (their home since 1988) as the Kings will move to the new Golden 1 Center in Downtown Sacramento next season.
Following seven consecutive seasons with fewer than 30 victories, an ignominy previously suffered only by the Vancouver/Memphis Grizzlies franchise between 1995–96 and 2002–03 and by the Kings themselves between 1986–87 and 1993–94, the Kings improved by four wins to finish 33–49. It was the first time since 2004–05 that the Kings were out of the bottom two in the Pacific Division, but the team remained eight wins short of a playoff berth.
