The NBA In-Season Tournament is a new annual competition for all 30 teams that will debut in the 2023-24 season. The 15 teams in each conference were divided into three groups of five teams via a random drawing. The Kings are part of West Group C alongside the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.

The Kings will play one game against each opponent in its group, two at Golden 1 Center and two on the road. All games played during the In-Season Tournament, except for the Championship game, will count towards the regular season standings. The winning team takes home a new trophy, the NBA Cup!

Four teams from the Western Conference will advance to the Knockout Rounds: the winners of each group and a “wild card” (the team with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).

The Kings will have a regular season away game on Friday, December 8 vs. the Suns or Lakers (whoever does not advance to the Semifinals).
