Kings will bring back coach Doug Christie for a second full season, AP source says

Doug Christie will return for a second full season as coach of the Sacramento Kings despite the team having one of the worst seasons in franchise history. A person familiar with the decision said Sunday that Christie will return next season for the second year of a contract that also has a team option for 2027-28. Christie was initially hired on an interim basis after Mike Brown was fired early in the 2024-25 season.
