The Sacramento Kings are finalizing a multiyear contract to hire Doug Christie as their full-time head coach, removing his interim title. Christie took over after Mike Brown was fired due to a poor start to the 2024-25 NBA season, leading the team to a 27-24 record and a No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, although they were eliminated in the first play-in game. This news was first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania and later confirmed by a source to NBC Sports California.
