1999–2000 Sacramento Kings season

The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Kings' 51st season in the National Basketball Association, and 15th season in Sacramento. During the off-season, the Kings acquired Nick Anderson from the Orlando Magic,   and signed free agents Tony Delk,  Darrick Martin,  and re-signed Tyrone Corbin. For the season opener, the Kings traveled overseas to Tokyo, Japan to play their first two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coming off a winning record in a strike-shortened season was much expected of the Kings, who got off to a fast start winning nine of their first ten games, which included an 8-game winning streak. The team held a 30–18 record at the All-Star break. However, they played below .500 for the remainder of the season losing seven of their final eight games, finishing fifth in the Pacific Division with a 44–38 record.

Chris Webber averaged 24.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, and was named to the All-NBA Third Team, selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game,    and finished in ninth place in Most Valuable Player voting,  while second-year star Jason Williams averaged 12.3 points, 7.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and Vlade Divac provided the team with 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. In addition, second-year forward Peja Stojaković provided with 11.9 points per game off the bench, while Anderson contributed 10.8 points per game, and Corliss Williamson provided with 10.3 points per game. Off the bench, three-point specialist Jon Barry contributed 8.0 points per game, and Scot Pollard averaged 5.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.

However, in the Western Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Kings lost in five games to the top-seeded and eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers would reach the NBA Finals to defeat the Indiana Pacers in six games.

Following the season, Williamson was traded to the Toronto Raptors,   while Corbin signed as a free agent with the Raptors, and Delk signed with the Phoenix Suns.
