The 1988-89 NBA season was the Kings' 40th season in the NBA and fourth in Sacramento. It was also the franchise's first season at the new ARCO Arena, after playing the previous three seasons at the original ARCO Arena, as well as the team's first season in the Pacific Division of the NBA's Western Conference. During the off-season, the Kings acquired Rodney McCray from the Houston Rockets, and acquired Randy Wittman from the Atlanta Hawks. At midseason, the team traded Ed Pinckney, and Joe Kleine to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Danny Ainge, and second-year forward Brad Lohaus, and dealt Wittman, and LaSalle Thompson to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Wayman Tisdale. The Kings held a 14–32 record at the All-Star break, and finished sixth in the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record.
