SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sacramento Kings co-owner Joe Maloof says his family is still deciding whether to move the franchise to Anaheim or stay in California’s capital city.

Maloof told The Associated Press on Friday that no decision has been made and he’s “as anxious as anybody” to find out if Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson can deliver on his promise for more sponsorship support and finally finance a plan for a new arena.

Johnson was wrapping up two days of meetings with NBA relocation committee chairman and Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett and other league officials in Sacramento. He is increasingly optimistic that the team will remain in Sacramento next season.

The Kings have until May 2 to request permission to relocate. A majority vote by owners are needed to approve the move.
