Under new head coach Garry St. Jean, the Kings got off to a fast start winning their first three games, but later posted a 7-game losing streak in December leading to a 6–16 start. The Kings would then post a 6-game winning streak between December and January, but continued to struggle losing 21 of their next 26 games, holding a 17–34 record at the All-Star break, as they were plagued with injuries. Mitch Richmond only played just 45 games due to a broken right thumb, and was out for the remainder of the season, and Williams only played 59 games due to a hand injury.

However, things turned ugly as a brawl occurred in a 119–95 road win over the Indiana Pacers on November 10, 1995, with a total of 16 players, eight from each team suspended. The team played above .500 for the first half of the season, holding a 24–20 record at the All-Star break. However, after a 24–17 start, the Kings struggled losing eleven straight games in February, as they traded Corbin and Walt Williams to the Miami Heat in exchange for Billy Owens and Kevin Gamble.
