The Sacramento Kings and general manager Monte McNair mutually agreed to part ways after Wednesday’s play-in loss to the Dallas Mavericks, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

McNair just completed his fifth season in the role. He was named the NBA’s Executive of the Year after Sacramento ended a league-record 16-year playoff drought in 2022-23.

Ninth-seeded Sacramento’s season ended with a 120-106 home loss to 10th-seeded Dallas. The Kings finished 40-42 in the regular season.

McNair reportedly lost decision-making power in the organization, which fired head coach Mike Brown after 31 games this season and made waves with a series of significant roster moves. Sacramento signed DeMar DeRozan as a free agent in July and at the deadline traded De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and acquired Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls.

The Kings compiled a .488 winning percentage in five seasons under McNair, compared to a .362 clip during the five previous campaigns.

McNair worked in the Houston Rockets’ front office for 13 years before being hired as the Kings’ GM and president of basketball operations in September 2020.
