3 NBA teams with the longest current playoff droughts

#1 Sacramento Kings - Last Postseason Appearance: 2006

The Kings have not reached the postseason for more than a decade

The Sacramento Kings have been an exciting team to watch this season, although the current crop of talent has once again failed to ensure a postseason appearance. The Kings are on course to record their best win ratio for more than a decade, but most importantly, the team has missed on on the playoffs for a 13th straight year.

The Kings last reached the playoffs during the 05/06 season, with a roster consisting of the likes of Ron Artest, Mike Bibby, and Brad Miller. However, Sacramento's subsequent 13 years of misery is the second longest streak in NBA history, only trailing the 15 seasons that the Buffalo Braves and Los Angeles Clippers missed on the playoffs between 1977 and 1991. With the Western Conference tougher than ever before, the Kings face an uphill battle to avoid one of the NBA's most unwanted records.
