Kings rookie Nique Clifford was among the players selected to the 2025 NBA All-Summer League first team for games played in Las Vegas.

Former Colorado State men’s basketball players Nique Clifford and Isaiah Stevens led the Sacramento Kings to the championship game of the NBA Summer League on Sunday. The Kings, who were 5-0 going into the title game, lost to Charlotte, 83-78. However, the two ex-Rams made a huge impact for their team during the tournament.

The Kings are looking for players who can help them find a way forward under new general manager Scott Perry and head coach Doug Christie. Sacramento lost in the play-in tournament for the second year in a row last season after going 40-42 to finish ninth in the Western Conference.
