The Sacramento Kings faced a disappointing start to their 2024-25 season, losing 117-115 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game marked by a late-game collapse.
Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 32 points, while new addition Julius Randle scored a game-high 33. DeMar DeRozan made his Kings debut, scoring 26 points, but it wasn't enough to secure a victory.
Despite a strong performance from DeRozan and the return of key players, the Kings continued their trend of struggling in home openers.
