Layoffs and furloughs have hit the NBA Kings' basketball operations, with some employees "furloughed Tuesday due to event cancellations and revenue losses." Sources said that "essential basketball operations staff needed to prepare for the upcoming NBA Draft, including members of the front office, analytics and scouting, were not affected." Employees furloughed this week "will continue to receive medical benefits and are tentatively expected to return to work in November." The Kings "did not specify which positions in the basketball operations department were impacted" (SACRAMENTO BEE, 9/3).
