SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The owner of the Sacramento Kings will
no longer operate the WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs.

League president Donna Orender said in a statement Friday that the WNBA is in discussions with potential investors to relocate the Monarchs to the Bay Area in time for next season.

Orender says in the statement that Monarchs owner Maloof Sports & Entertainment has decided to focus its resources on the NBA's Sacramento Kings.

The Monarchs franchise is one of the league's original eight teams and it won the league championship in 2005.
