The 2005–06 Sacramento Kings season was the franchise's 57th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the 21st in Sacramento, California. The team began the season looking to improve upon a 50–32 record from the previous season, but off-court problems meant they declined by six wins despite a late rush.

In the playoffs, the Kings lost to the San Antonio Spurs in six games in the First Round.

The Kings would not make the playoffs again until 2023, which was the longest active drought in the four major North American professional sports leagues at the time and the longest postseason drought in NBA history.

For the season, they added new gold road alternate uniforms with purple, grey and silver side panels to their jerseys and shorts, they remained in use until 2007.

    Roster

    Regular season[edit]

    The 2005–06 season started off poorly, as the Kings had a hard time finding chemistry in the team. Newcomers Bonzi Wells and Shareef Abdur-Rahim made major contributions early in the season, but both fell victim to the injury bug and missed a significant number of games. As the Kings’ dismal start continued, the Maloofs decided to make a major move.

    Popular sharpshooting small forward Peja Stojakovic was traded for Ron Artest, long known for his volatile temper. Artest guaranteed the Kings would make the playoffs. With Artest in the lineup, the Kings achieved a 20–9 record after the 2006 NBA All-Star Weekend, which was the second best post-All-Star break record that season. The Kings finished the regular season with a 44–38 record, which placed them fourth in the Pacific Division, only ahead of the Golden State Warriors. Their season ended with a defeat to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round 2–4. After the season, Rick Adelman was not retained.

    Until the 2022–23 season, this marked the last season that the Kings made the playoffs, which was the longest active drought in the four major North American professional sports leagues and the longest postseason drought in NBA history. This was also the last time the Kings had a winning season until the 2022–23 season.
