The Sacramento Kings have donated their former practice facility in Natomas to support the local community and will allow it to be used as a surge field hospital for treatment of patients that have become infective with the COVID 19 virus. The facility is located next door to the former ARCO Arena which the Corps of Engineers have started to work to convert it to an emergency 360 bed hospital which will be operated by the state. The Kings are also donating $250,000 to community organizations providing food services and other essential needs of vulnerable people in the Sacramento area. In addition, the Kings will donate 100,000 medical masks to state and local agencies that need them. The Kings have already donated 5,000 pounds of food to the Sacramento Food Bank shortly after the NBA season was put on hiatus, but team officials said they felt the need to do more as the coronavirus crisis worsened and as the need intensified for major local businesses to step up and help more.
