The Sacramento Kings have endured a disappointing start to the 2026-27 NBA season. Doug Christie's team currently sits 14th in the Western Conference with a 1-10 record. With Sacramento struggling to find consistency, NBA analyst Bill Simmons has now delivered a particularly harsh assessment of the team after attempting to watch them play.

In an X post, Simmons sarcastically suggested that watching the Kings for 40 minutes had been such an unbearable experience that it nearly left him having a seizure.

“The Body Language Doctor just tried to watch 40 minutes of the Sacramento Kings and ended up having a seizure,” Simmons wrote.

The criticism came after Sacramento suffered a 107-100 defeat to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, extending its losing streak to four games. The Kings have also failed to win any of their six home games so far this season. Their 1-10 record ties the franchise's worst start through 11 games, matching the 1990-91 Kings.

Despite Zach LaVine contributing 31 points, Sacramento could not find a way to overcome Orlando and avoid another disappointing loss. Domantas Sabonis' performance added to the disappointment as the veteran center finished the game without scoring a single point.

However, Kings rookie Darius Acuff Jr. has delivered another impressive performance on Tuesday, finishing with 29 points and six assists. However, his individual success has not translated into team victories, leaving the young guard frustrated with Sacramento's disappointing record.

Acuff is currently averaging 26.2 points per game this season, the second-highest scoring average by a rookie since the NBA-ABA merger. However, despite his outstanding individual performances, Sacramento has continued to struggle to turn those efforts into wins.

Sacramento will now need to respond quickly as it looks to put an end to its losing streak. The Kings are scheduled to take on the Portland Trail Blazers in their next game.
