We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

ARCO Arena — The arena opened in 1988 with a concert by the Grateful Dead. The first event was a Sacramento Kings game, not a Grateful Dead concert.
ARCO Arena — The final ticketed event was the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus on September 19, 2016, which had also opened the original ARCO Arena I in 1985. The original ARCO Arena I opened with a Sacramento State basketball game, not the circus.
Kemper Arena — The successor venue listed as 'Sacramento Sports Arena (also known as ARCO Arena I)' is incorrect; the Kings moved from Kemper Arena to ARCO Arena I, which was never called 'Sacramento Sports Arena'.
Chris Webber — The claim that Webber's jersey number 4 has not been officially retired by the Sacramento Kings is false; it was retired on February 5, 2009, at ARCO Arena.
Chris Webber — The claim that Webber is a Hall of Famer is incorrect; he has not been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as of the latest known inductions.
Oscar Robertson — The entry states Robertson recorded 12 rebounds in his NBA debut, but he actually had 10 rebounds.
Rochester Royals — Since 1945, the team has reached the postseason 34 times, with 10 of those appearances coming in Rochester. The correct total is 33 postseason appearances as of the end of the 2023–24 season.
Rochester Royals — The franchise has not reached the NBA Finals in 73 years, the longest such drought in NBA history. The Kings have the longest active Finals drought, but not the longest in NBA history (the Atlanta Hawks' drought is longer).
Cincinnati Royals — The entry claims the best postseason results were in 1963, 1964, and 1965 when they lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Division Finals each time, but in 1965 they lost in the Eastern Division Semifinals to the Philadelphia 76ers, not the Celtics.
Bob Davies — The claim that Davies's family gave permission for Domantas Sabonis to un-retire his No. 11 jersey in 2024 is false.
Mike Bibby — Bibby was acquired by the Kings on June 27, 2001, but the trade was actually completed on June 28, 2001 (the day of the draft).
Mike Bibby — The statement 'though the Kings lost that elimination game' is incorrect; Game 5 was an elimination game for the Kings but they won it.
