NBA clears Kings of tanking allegations after late foul on Seth Curry vs. Warriors

The NBA found no evidence that Sacramento Kings coach Doug Christie intentionally attempted to tank by ordering a late foul on Seth Curry in a 110-105 loss to the Warriors; the move was intended to preserve a timeout and set up a next play, but the league concluded there was no intent to influence the outcome. The incident adds to the ongoing debate about tanking and comes as the NBA considers changes to its lottery system, though Sacramento has not appeared to be a tanking threat recently.

Kings’ Late-Game Tanking Backfires in Narrow Loss to Warriors

In a bid to boost its NBA draft lottery odds, Sacramento staged a conspicuous late-tank against Golden State, with Doug McDermott fouling Seth Curry and then misfiring down the stretch, letting the Warriors pull away 110-105 after the Kings briefly led. The loss preserves the Kings’ poor-record status and lottery chances, while fueling debate over how far teams will go to tank and how the league should respond amid a coveted 2026 draft class.

Their late-game connection — Embiid to Maxey for the game-winning bucket with 1.3 seconds left — capped a night in which Maxey recovered his scoring touch and Embiid showed continued progression, helping Philadelphia move five games over .500.

Kuminga Requests Trade as Warriors Seek Expiring-Contract Deals, Kings and Mavericks Top Interest

Golden State forward Jonathan Kuminga reportedly demanded a trade after becoming eligible ahead of the February trade deadline, with the Kings and Mavericks among the teams showing interest. The Warriors prefer to receive expiring contracts in any deal and have discussed potential three-team arrangements, while Kuminga’s role with Golden State has diminished this season, as he’s appeared in 18 of 44 games with about 11.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game on 43.1% shooting and 32.0% from deep.

Schroder hit with 3-game ban after heated clash with Doncic

The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings guard Dennis Schroder for three games after he confronted and allegedly attempted to strike Luka Doncic following the Dec. 28 Lakers–Kings game. Schroder will miss games against Houston, the Lakers rematch, and the Knicks, costing him about $300,000 in salary. Doncic reportedly taunted him during the game, and Schroder later reposted the league’s statement with the word “attempting,” a reaction that drew criticism.
