The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Kings' 51st season in the National Basketball Association, and 15th season in Sacramento. During the offseason, the Kings acquired Nick Anderson from the Orlando Magic, and signed free agent Tony Delk. 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. However, they lost seven of their final eight games, finishing fifth in the Pacific Division with a 44–38 record, with superstar forward Chris Webber leading the way averaging 24.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, while being selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game. In the Western Conference Quarterfinals, they would lose in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers. Following the season, Corliss Williamson was traded to the Toronto Raptors, and Delk signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns.
