The United Auburn Indian Community of California is trying to keep the Kings basketball team in Sacramento.

The tribe agreed to pledge $1 million for the effort. That's in addition to the $7 million that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson has secured in pledges.

The tribe leases a luxury box for hockey games worth about $300,000 a year, Marcos Breton of The Sacramento Bee reported.
