The 2019–20 Sacramento Kings season is the 75th season of the franchise, its 71st season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 35th in Sacramento.

The Kings will enter the season with the current longest NBA playoff appearance drought at 13 seasons, last qualifying in 2006. Following a record of 39–43 the previous season, the Kings' head coach Dave Joerger was fired on April 12, 2019.[1] Two days later, they hired former Lakers coach Luke Walton.[2] The Kings hired former Suns head coach Igor Kokoškov as an assistant coach.[3]

The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[4] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[5]

The Sacramento Kings hold no first round picks, but three second round picks. Their first round pick was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2015 and the 76ers conditionally traded it to the Boston Celtics in the days entering the 2017 NBA Draft.[6][7] The lottery selection the team had failed to reach the 1st pick, meaning the pick goes to the Boston Celtics.[8] The 47th pick would be traded to the New York Knicks for Kyle Guy and cash considerations.
