Kings Staying in Sacramento

[Cam Cam]

DALLAS -- The Sacramento Kings are going nowhere.

Ownership representatives from the league's 30 teams Wednesday met for nearly four hours and ultimately voted to reject the Kings' proposed move to Seattle, backing last month's unanimous recommendation from a relocation committee to keep the team in Sacramento. NBA commissioner David Stern confirmed that the vote in Sacramento's favor was 22-8.

Acknowledging the toll this saga has taken on both cities, with the Kings' future in Sacramento uncertain for the past 2½ years and Seattle's wait to return to the world of professional basketball forced now to continue indefinitely, Stern said: "I would say it's a victory for Sacramento, not a victory for the NBA."
