Sacramento Kings Announce Full Coaching Staff for 2025-26 Season

As the 2024-25 NBA season concludes, the Sacramento Kings have finalized a new coaching staff under head coach Doug Christie, who was promoted from interim to full-time head coach. The staff includes experienced assistants such as associate head coach Mike Woodson, former Kings player Bobby Jackson, longtime NBA coach Mike Miller, Chris Darnell, and Leandro Barbosa, who brings championship experience both as a player and coach. Several player development coaches have also been appointed, with Dipesh Mistry elevated to assistant coach/player development and Paul Jesperson named head of player development. This coaching overhaul follows a period of organizational changes, including the firing of former head coach Mike Brown and general manager Monte McNair. Meanwhile, the LA Kings announced their 2025 development camp schedule, featuring prospects like Liam Greentree and Kirill Kirsanov, who will participate on-ice for the first time after recovering from injury. These moves highlight both Kings franchises' efforts to build for the future through coaching and player development.
