Report: Comcast-Spectacor wants to move NBA's Sacramento Kings to Virginia Beach

Posted: August 24, 2012

The NBA's Sacramento Kings, unhappy with their situation in California, may be headed to Virginia Beach, according to a report in the business journal, Inside Business.

Officials from Comcast-Spectacor have proposed moving the team to Virginia Beach and for Comcast to help build and lease a new pro sports arena, according to the report.

The Kings have tried but been unsuccessful in building a new arena in Sacramento. How the move would affect scheduling and conference alignment in the NBA is not known.

George Maloof Jr., an owner of the Kings, told Inside Business, "We have been approached by several cities over several years about moving the Kings, and we will not comment other than that."
