Monday night proved to be a momentous occasion for the 2025-26 Sacramento Kings amid a dreadful campaign that has left them behind in the NBA. They had struggled, losing all of their previous 16 games against the Memphis Grizzlies, and it didn’t look like their skid was going to end anywhere given how much the team has been ravaged by injuries, most notably Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine undergoing season-ending surgeries.
Miracles do happen, however, and the Kings, after appearing as if they were destined to lose all of their games for the remainder of the season, finally got back to winning ways – winning 123–114 over the tanking Memphis Grizzlies despite being on the road. This gave the Kings only their 13th win of the season in 59 matches, and required an incredible team effort to end their misery.
In a season that’s straight out of their worst nightmare, Kings fans are simply turning to humor to deal with the horrors of their team – with newly signed Killian Hayes being the butt of jokes aplenty.
“We’re on a 1 game win streak, we’re so far behind 😭,” @PlayoffKings hilariously commented.
“The Sacramento Kings win? In this economy?”. X user @compSciMatt wrote.
@yhmzotf said, “Killian Hayes is changing the Sacramento Kings.”
@sosynoidFr added, “Killian Hayes has won 100% of his games with the Sacramento Kings.”
@Pdmwoz reported, “Killian Hayes signed with the Kings and won his first game after 17 losses. Coincidence? I think that’s greatness 🔥✌🏼.”
Will the Kings’ ineptitude be rewarded with a draft-day award?
The Kings have the worst record in the NBA, but with the lottery odds the league has used the past few seasons, that’s no guarantee.
Still, even if the Kings end up with the first overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, they would be better off not making the mistake of settling for a fit instead of selecting the best player available on the board.
