Sacramento Kings NBA Cup schedule, results & standings
By Mat Issa
The NBA Cup is upon us. After a strong inaugural season, the league has decided to keep its middle-of-the-season tournament (formerly known as the "In-Season Tournament") for the long haul.
If you want information about how the tournament works or what kind of prizes are at stake, this is not the article. However, we do have an article explaining all of that (to access all of that, click here).
Instead, for this post, we are providing the schedule, results, and standings for our Sacramento Kings. After all, the Kings are what A Royal Pain is all about! This page will continue to update as more games are played and more scores hit the history books.

Sacramento Kings Results
Sacramento Kings vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (November 15)
Despite missing DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk while their opponent was completely healthy, the Kings were able to push the Timberwolves to an overtime thriller thanks to De'Aaron Fox's 60-point game. Unfortunately, the team still fell short – losing 130-126. Anthony Edwards also put together a strong showing of his own, scoring 36 points and canning six threes (Edwards leads the league in threes by a wide margin).
