NBA professional basketball team season
The 2002–03 NBA season was the Kings' 54th season in the National Basketball Association , and 18th season in Sacramento .[1] The Kings were coming off their controversial Western Conference Finals defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers , who won the series in seven games. During the off-season, the Kings signed free agent Keon Clark ,[2] [3] and later on in December signed Jim Jackson .[4] Throughout the season, none of the Kings' players played a full season via suspension or injury,[5] but they still managed to hold a successful 34–17 record at the All-Star break,[6] and post a 59–23 record,[7] two games less than their previous output in which they went 61–21, thus repeating as Pacific Division Champions once again.
Chris Webber averaged 23.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, while Peja Stojaković averaged 19.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and Mike Bibby provided the team with 15.9 points and 5.2 assists per game, but only played 55 games due to a foot injury.[8] [9] In addition, Bobby Jackson contributed 15.2 points per game in 59 games, starting in 26 of them, and was named Sixth Man of the Year,[10] [11] while Vlade Divac provided with 9.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and Doug Christie contributed 9.4 points, 4.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game, and was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team.[12] Webber and Stojaković were both voted to play in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta . However, this time, Stojakovic was the only team representative as Webber was forced to withdraw due to a sprained ankle.[13] Head coach Rick Adelman was selected to coach the Western Conference All-Stars.[14] Webber also finished in tenth place in Most Valuable Player voting, while Christie finished in fifth place in Defensive Player of the Year voting.[15] [16]
After easily dispatching the Utah Jazz in five games in the Western Conference First Round , the team started to look like a title contender,[17] [18] [19] but in Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semi-finals, their title hopes took a serious blow, when Webber suffered a knee injury while trying to catch a lob pass from Bibby, ending his season.[20] [21] Webber's knee required microfracture surgery in the following off-season.[22] Without their team captain and MVP, the Kings lost the series in seven games.[23] [24] [25] Following the season, Hedo Türkoğlu was traded to the San Antonio Spurs , while Scot Pollard was traded to the Indiana Pacers ,[26] [27] Clark was dealt to the Utah Jazz , and Jackson signed as a free agent with the Houston Rockets .[28] [29]
For the season, the team sported new uniforms, adding purple primary road jerseys.[30] [31] The new uniforms would remain in use until 2008. This would be the last season the Kings would win the Pacific Division until the 2022-23 season .
