SACRAMENTO -- Racial tensions in Sacramento have hit a fever pitch and the Kings are in the eye of the storm. As City Council met to discuss the officer involved shooting death of Stephon Clark on Tuesday evening, the protests once again spilled out into the courtyard surrounding Golden 1 Center.

With knowledge that there was potential for issues, the team opened their doors early in an attempt to avoid conflict. There were no issues until roughly 6:30 when a small group of 40-60 protesters ascended upon the entrances of Golden 1 Center.
