The lottery gods don't show love to the Kings; Backlash 2025 review; NBA Playoff updates 5/12/25

Well it was not to be, the Kings were not able to jump into the top 4 of the draft with a 3.8% odds of doing it.

Instead, it was the Mavericks, the team that demolished the Kings a month ago in the Play-In that get the #1 pick and the Spurs, the team that the Kings traded De'Aaron Fox to, who get the #2 pick.

This is compounded by their pick going to Atlanta from the Kevin Huerter trade, so not a great day for the Kings.

But with that pick conveying, the Kings can start anew and get to work on revamping the team for next season.

Owen and Fong also go through Backlash 2025 this past Saturday and give a very detailed breakdown of the event.
