Kings Stung by Unlucky Schedule Again in Games After NBA Cup Adjustment

Kings Face More Scheduling Challenges After NBA Cup Changes

The NBA recently released a revised game schedule following the elimination phase of the Emirates NBA Cup. Unfortunately for the Sacramento Kings, their streak of bad luck continues with this new timetable.

The adjustments forced by the Cup’s progression have placed the Kings in a difficult position, as they face a tough string of opponents with limited rest and travel time. This situation could impact their overall performance and player health moving forward.

"The new schedule adds pressure with back-to-back games and little recovery time," a team source remarked. "It's a tough break for the Kings right now."

The continuous reshuffling of games due to the Cup affects not only logistics but also team rhythm, making it hard for the Kings to find consistency.
