Moving the Sacramento Kings has been a rumor for a while now, but we have learned this evening that they will in fact be moving to Anaheim.
The new Anaheim Kings will be playing in the Honda Center for the next NBA season. The “official” announcement is scheduled to be made around mid or early May.

The Sacramento Kings busted a ball and they are warning other NBA teams. In an freak accident Francisco Garcia broke his right wrist when an exercise ball burst. Kings co-owner Joe Maloof ordered an e-mail sent to the NBA’s other 29 teams. Apparently he felt there are unforeseen dangers when using exercise balls. Garcia was lying on his back doing dumbbell presses with 90-pound weights in each hand when the ball burst.
Garcia’s a five-year contract extension is worth $29.6 million. Maloof said the team is considering legal action against the maker of the ball. Sources close to the team identified it as an Italian-based company, Gymnic. Maloof said “I want to wait until we get the facts and start formulating what we want to do.
