Yes! The Kansas City Kings from 1972-1985 then they relocated to Sacramento.
The Kings began play in 1945 as the Rochester Royals. They moved to Cincinnati in 1957, then to Kansas City in 1972 and were renamed the Kings. They split home games between Kansas City and Omaha before finally settling solely in Kansas City in 1975. The move to Sacramento was made in 1985. They are now the Sacramento Kings.
the Franchise's nickname had always been The Royals, but when the franchise moved from Cincinnati to Kansas City in 1972, they were renamed the Kings because Kansas City already had the Royals baseball team. The basketball team agreed to change its nickname, even though it had used the name for 25 years before the baseball team was established.
