Sacramento, CA – Oct 26, 2025 – The Sacramento Kings lost to the Los Angeles Lakers at home last night, despite the Lakers missing stars LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Austin Reaves exploded for a career-high 51 points as the Lakers secured the win.
The Kings, who were coming off their first win of the season against the Utah Jazz, struggled with rebounding and free throw shooting. The Lakers capitalized on this, drawing 46 free throws compared to the Kings’ 18. Zach LaVine played for the Kings after an illness, but his performance dipped along with the rest of the team.
Injuries plagued both teams, with several key players listed as out or questionable. The loss highlights the Kings’ need to improve their defense and interior presence. The team will look to bounce back as they face the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road in their next game.
Several fans question the officiating of the game and also worry about the lack of front court strength.
