- On Monday night, the Sacramento Kings ended a 16-game franchise losing streak with a 123-114 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum, Memphis.
- Facing a depleted roster, the Kings entered with the NBA's worst record and had not won since Jan. 16, while Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, and De'Andre Hunter were ruled out for the season.
- At halftime, the Kings held a 63-61 edge as both teams shot better than 54%, and Sacramento opened the fourth with a 15-4 run capped by a Westbrook 3-pointer at the fourth-quarter 8:45 mark.
- The win moved Sacramento to 13-46, with Memphis returning to FedExForum on Feb. 25 against the Golden State Warriors, affecting their short-term schedule.
- With eight players sidelined, the Memphis Grizzlies lacked an active player taller than the 6-foot-9 Jackson, forcing both teams to pivot to the future due to injuries.
