The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Kings' 51st season in the NBA and 15th in Sacramento. During the offseason, the Kings acquired Nick Anderson from the Orlando Magic and signed free agent Tony Delk. Coming off a winning record in a strike shortened season much was expected of the Kings, who would not disappoint continuing to play an exciting brand of basketball while 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.
