With the Sacramento Kings having already filled their vacancies for general manager (Scott Perry), assistant general manager (B.J. Armstrong), and head coach (Doug Christie), the franchise is starting to fill out its coaching staff.
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Christie is adding Chris Darnell to his coaching staff. HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that Sacramento is also adding Mike Miller, an assistant coach who most recently worked with the Washington Wizards from 2021-24.

More on the new Sacramento Kings assistant coaches
Darnell, who was the head coach of the NBA G League’s Cleveland Charge during the 2024-25 season, joins a coaching staff that already includes former Kings guard Bobby Jackson, longtime NBA and college coach (also a former Kings guard) Mike Woodson, and Leandro Barbosa, who returns from last year’s staff.
Miller was the New York Knicks’ interim head coach during the 2019-20 season when new Kings general manager Scott Perry was working with the organization.
The 60-year-old took home NBA G League Coach of the Year honors during the 2017-18 season while coaching the Westchester Knicks.

More Sacramento Kings content from Sactown Sports
Chris Watkins and Brenden Nunes joined The Allen Stiles for another edition of The Kings Roundtable to break down the Sacramento Kings not participating in the California Classic Summer League, continued DeMar DeRozan trade rumors, and plenty more.
For Summer League, Las Vegas has always been the true highlight with every NBA team sending a squad to participate.
But smaller leagues exist for short portions before Vegas, including Miami, Utah, and, recently, Northern California. Despite alternating hosting between themselves and Chase Center, home of the Warriors, the Kings will not be participating in 2025.
Allen, Brenden, and Chris discussed the potential reason, given that the change is taking place after the new general manager, Scott Perry, has taken over.
Plus, plenty of rumors about Sacramento’s veteran guard DeMar DeRozan, and his potential landing spots this offseason continue to swirl.
All that and PLENTY more!
