For the first time since the NBA shut down on March 11th, which feels like an eternity ago, the Sacramento Kings reopened their practice facilities as they previously announced their intentions to in a formal statement.
Some of the policies and procedures in place for when players returned to the facility included:
- No more than four players will be permitted into the facility at any one time
- No group activity will occur, including scrimmages
- Staff and players are required to always wear a facemask except players when involved in physical activity
- Temperatures of anyone entering the facility will be recorded for additional safety
- 30-minute sanitizing breaks
James Ham of NBC Sports reported yesterday that a handful of Kings players made it out to the practice facility on Monday for voluntary workouts in a tweet.

Though it’s unclear about the specifics of who those players were and how many exactly to meet the policies in place, the practice went smoothly for everyone involved.
There’s still no word on when the NBA season will officially resume (if it even will) but it definitely looks like the players want to be back on the court again.
We talkin about practice
If any team needs practice…
Baby steps. We be talking about PlayOffs
OT: Wholly fuck nuts. Game of Zones just destroyed the Kings in their latest episode. I haven’t laughed that hard in some time.

That was so epic and so on target, it deserves it’s own post!
That was savage.
Brutal, but hilarious.
I’m flaming my balls
There go 8 easy wins.
“Well, there goes eight easy wins.”
Savage.
The brothel portion was jussssst a little bit over the line. Funny stuff.
My friend Phil works on this show and storyboarded on this episode. He asked me how it feels. I described how painful it is for Kings fans, but also how some of us are hopeful that Vlade and Vivek see it. He responded: “Wouldn’t it be amazing if they stepped down because of this episode?”

My favorite part was “Who do we all hate?” and Boogie in the background saying “Stauskas”
No lies detected.
If I won the lottery, I’d commission Adam McKay and Michael Lewis to write and direct (still workshopping this) “The Big Shart” based on the dysfunction that’s now spanned multiple decades and ownership groups here in Kingsland. If the jackpot was large enough I’d bring in the Coen Brothers to turn up the absurdity dial.
Amazing
