Summary
Mike Brown, De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes — all key figures in Sacramento’s recent revival — have reached the 2026 NBA Finals with the Knicks and Spurs.
Brown, the former NBA Coach of the Year in Sacramento, is now on one side of the Finals, while Fox and Barnes are on the other after leaving the Kings.
Their matchup sharpens attention on Sacramento’s roster and coaching turnover, with the franchise having seen core Beam Team pieces depart only a few years after ending its playoff drought.
For Kings fans, the Finals serve as a fresh reminder that former leaders of the team’s breakthrough era are now competing for a title elsewhere.
