The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Kings' 51st season in the National Basketball Association, and 15th season in Sacramento. During the off-season, the Kings acquired Nick Anderson from the Orlando Magic, and signed free agents Tony Delk, Darrick Martin, and re-signed Tyrone Corbin. For the season opener, the Kings traveled to Tokyo, Japan to play their first two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Coming off a winning record in a strike-shortened season was much expected of the Kings, who got off to a fast start winning nine of their first ten games, which included an 8-game winning streak. The team held a 30–18 record at the All-Star break. However, they played below .500 for the remainder of the season losing seven of their final eight games, finishing fifth in the Pacific Division
