Sacramento Kings Cheerleader’s Photos Go Viral After Latest Loss
The Sacramento Kings find themselves at a crossroads in the 2024-25 NBA season. With a 13-17 start, the team’s performance echoes the uncertainty of recent years.
The Kings’ trajectory fluctuates between their impressive run two seasons ago and last year’s underwhelming showing.
A recent embarrassing loss against the Indiana Pacers highlighted the Kings’ issues. Domantas Sabonis led the charge with 17 points and 21 rebounds, while De’Aaron Fox contributed 23 points and 7 assists. Despite that, Sacramento lost 122-95.
They now find themselves sitting 12th in a crowded Western Conference with not a ton of apparent room for upward mobility.

This incident reflects a growing trend of NBA cheerleaders gaining individual followings and influence beyond their traditional roles.
The Kings’ cheerleading squad, known for their energy and enthusiasm, has become an integral part of the team’s identity. Their presence extends beyond game days, with many dancers cultivating substantial social media followings. This increased visibility has led to:
- Enhanced fan engagement
- Broader team exposure
- Individual opportunities for dancers
The viral nature of cheerleader content aligns with the NBA’s evolving digital presence. Teams now recognize the value of these performers in building brand awareness and connecting with fans across various platforms.
As the season progresses, the Kings face the challenge of recapturing their ‘Light The Beam’ magic from two years ago.
Under Mike Brown’s leadership, the team aims to replicate their previous success and secure a playoff berth. The coming months will reveal whether the 2024-25 Kings can illuminate their path to victory once more.
Kings Fans Turn On Team After Pacers Loss
Sacramento’s offensive woes were evident in their shooting percentages throughout the Pacers game. They managed just 31.2% from the field in the second half, allowing Indiana to outscore them 70-43 after halftime. The Kings’ ball movement stagnated as the game progressed, with players reverting to one-pass or no-pass shot attempts.
Defensively, the Kings struggled to contain the Pacers’ fluid offense. Indiana’s unselfish play and crisp ball movement created open looks and easy baskets throughout the game. The visitors capitalized on Sacramento’s missed shots, pushing the pace in transition and building a lead that ballooned to 30 points in the closing minutes.
The sellout crowd of 17,832 at Golden 1 Center expressed their frustration with boos as the Kings’ deficit grew. Many fans departed early, leaving the arena nearly empty by the final buzzer. Some supporters chanted for increased playing time for Keon Ellis, hoping the defensive-minded guard might provide a spark.

Kings coach Mike Brown acknowledged the need to find effective player combinations. He mentioned potentially giving more minutes to Doug McDermott, Trey Lyles, and Ellis in an effort to improve the team’s performance.
Sacramento now sits 2.5 games out of the final play-in tournament spot. Their home record has dropped to a disappointing 6-11, raising concerns about their ability to protect their home court.
Key statistics:
| Category | Kings | Pacers |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 31.2% (2nd half) | Not specified |
| Rebounds (Sabonis) | 21 | – |
| Assists (Fox) | 7 | – |
| Assists (Haliburton) | – | 8 |
| Assists (McConnell) | – | 10 |
The Kings’ players and coaching staff recognize the urgency to address their recent struggles:
- Kevin Huerter acknowledged the fans’ frustration, stating the team deserved the boos after their poor performance.
- Malik Monk emphasized the need for better ball movement and team play, citing similarities to his experience with the Lakers.
- Coach Mike Brown is considering lineup adjustments to find more effective combinations on the court.
As the Kings face mounting pressure, they must rediscover their offensive rhythm and improve their defensive intensity. The team’s talent level suggests they are capable of better performances, but translating that potential into consistent on-court success remains a challenge.
With the season approaching its midway point, Sacramento finds itself at a critical juncture. The players and coaching staff must work together to reverse their current slide and climb back into playoff contention in the competitive Western Conference.
