Monte McNair is no longer the general manager for the Sacramento Kings, following a mutual decision made by both parties, as reported by Shams Charania and various U.S. news sources.
The Kings’ defeat to the Mavericks in the opening round of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament served as the catalyst for this parting of ways.
During his final year, McNair made significant changes, including the dismissal of head coach Mike Brown in late 2024 and the February trade that moved De’Aaron Fox to Chicago in exchange for Zach LaVine—two impactful choices that have influenced the franchise’s direction.
McNair held the position for five seasons and was honored as NBA Executive of the Year in 2023, marking the end of a 16-year playoff absence for Sacramento.
Despite achieving three consecutive seasons with 40 or more wins, the Kings were unable to reach the playoffs last year or this season.
