It’s official. The “interim” title no longer is attached to Doug Christie’s job description.

The Kings are finalizing a multiyear contract to make Christie their next coach, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday morning, citing sources.

Charania added that Christie’s agent, Klutch Sports’ Andy Miller, negotiated a new deal with Sacramento’s brass for the Kings’ full-time job.

Christie took over for Mike Brown, who was fired in late December following a 13-18 start to the 2024-25 NBA season. Under Christie, the Kings went 27-24 and finished as the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference.

Sacramento was eliminated in the first NBA play-in game.
