Carter is expected to undergo surgery on his left shoulder next week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The procedure puts Carter's availability for the start of the regular season up in the air. Carter sustained a left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout, but the issue didn't deter Sacramento from selecting the Providence product with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Still, the injury is severe enough to require Carter to go under the knife. As Charania notes, Carter is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns, however, he may not be ready in time for the regular season.

Latest Kings News
Devin Carter : Having shoulder surgery
Carter is expected to undergo surgery on his left shoulder next week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The procedure puts Carter's availability for the start of the regular season up in the air. Carter sustained a left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout, but the issue didn't deter Sacramento from selecting the Providence product with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Still, the injury is severe enough to require Carter to go under the knife. As Charania notes, Carter is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns, however, he may not be ready in time for the regular season.
Jordan McLaughlin : Gets one-year deal from Sacramento
McLaughlin agreed Sunday with the Kings on a one-year contract, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. The 28-year-old spent the past five seasons with Minnesota and averaged 3.5 points, 2.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 11.2 minutes while shooting a career-best 47.2 percent from three-point range in 56 games in 2023-24. McLaughlin gives Sacramento an experienced reserve option at point guard behind De'Aaron Fox, though he won't necessarily be a part of head coach Mike Brown's rotation every night if the Kings staff feels that rookie first-round Devin Carter is capable of initiating the offense when Fox is off the floor.
DeMar DeRozan : Set to join Sacramento
DeRozan will sign a three-year, $76 million contract with the Kings after Sacramento agreed to a sign-and-trade with the Bulls and the Spurs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN of ESPN reports. The deal will be a three-team agreement, and while it appears the Kings will win this trade on paper, they will also send Harrison Barnes to San Antonio and Chris Duarte, along with two second-round picks and cash, to Chicago. The presence of DeRozan should make the Kings a true contender in the Western Conference, as he'll form a Big Three with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. DeRozan averaged 24.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign across 79 regular-season appearances.
Devin Carter : Won’t play in Summer League
Carter has been ruled out for Summer League play due to a left shoulder injury, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Carter was selected by the Kings with the No. 13 overall pick in this year's draft, but he suffered a left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout and is being evaluated by the team's medical staff. While he won't be in action this summer, it's not yet clear whether his injury will linger once training camp begins this fall.
Alex Len : Sticking in Sacramento
Len intends to sign a one-year. $3.3 million contract with the Kings, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Len will return for a fourth consecutive season in Sacramento, where he'll likely operate as the primary backup to Domantas Sabonis. Len averaged 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds across 9.3 minutes per game in 2023 and should remain firmly out of fantasy consideration when Sabonis is healthy.
Kessler Edwards : To hit free agency
The Kings did not extend a qualifying offer to Edwards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Edwards is now set to become an unrestricted free agent. He made 54 appearances for the Kings in 2023-24 but didn't make much of an impact with an average of 1.7 points in 5.1 minutes per contest.
Jalen McDaniels : Headed to Sacramento
The Raptors traded McDaniels to the Kings in exchange for Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, the No. 45 pick in 2024 NBA Draft and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft via Portland on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. During his first year in Toronto, McDaniels served as depth in the team's forward rotation. In 2023-24, he averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 50 appearances, including one start. However, the 25-year-old mightily struggled with his efficiency, posting 34.4/16.9/73.0 shooting splits. If McDaniels isn't able to drastically increase his offensive output, he will likely struggle to find minutes in Sacramento.
Sasha Vezenkov : Wants to remain in NBA
Contrary to a previous report, Vezenkov said he will honor his contract with the Kings and wants to stay in the NBA, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Cunningham adds that the report which stated that Vezenkov will not return to the Kings is "off base". The Kings reportedly want to keep the sharpshooter, but there is a market for him and it's no secret that the forward would like a larger role in the rotation. In his first NBA campaign, Vezenkov posted averages of 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds across 12.2 minutes in 42 appearances.
