The 1990β91 NBA season was the Kings' 42nd season in the
National Basketball Association, and sixth season in
Sacramento.[1] In the
1990 NBA draft, the Kings became the first team in NBA history to wield four first round draft choices, selecting forward
Lionel Simmons out of
La Salle University with the seventh pick, guard
Travis Mays with the 14th pick, center
Duane Causwell with the 18th pick, and forward
Anthony Bonner with the 23rd pick.[2][3] However, their struggles continued as they lost their first seven games of the season, on their way to an awful 1β13 start. The Kings finished last place in the Pacific Division with a 25β57 record,[4] losing a record of 37 consecutive road games, and finishing with the worst road record in NBA history at 1β40.[5]
Wayman Tisdale only played just 33 games due to a foot injury, and Bonner only played in just 34 games. Simmons made the NBA All-Rookie First Team, while Mays was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. Following the season,
Antoine Carr was traded to the
San Antonio Spurs,[6][7] and Mays was dealt to the
Atlanta Hawks.[8]
For the season, the team changed their uniforms, plus adding darker blue road jerseys.[9][10] The uniforms lasted until 1994.
