Sasha Vezenkov Wants Out Of Sacramento

The former EuroLeague MVP, now NBA player, is officially done playing for the Sacramento Kings. According to multiple reports, Sasha Vezenkov told the front office that he has no intentions of returning to the team for next season.

It appears frustrations grew after being told he wouldn’t be in the team’s plans for the upcoming season, which includes minutes. While he wants to leave, it isn’t as simple as the 28-year-old wants it to be.

He signed a three-year deal with Sacramento before last season, as next season is fully guaranteed. Sacramento isn’t going to waive him, lose all that money ($6.6 million), and be on the losing side. If anything, it would have to come through a compromised buyout agreement.

Vezenkov has two options, either get traded or come to a buyout agreement. Both options will take time, but the option of him playing for Mike Brown is no longer happening.

Jae Crowder Close To Signing Deal With Kings

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings and free agent Jae Crowder are close to signing an agreement that will see Crowder rep the Kings’ colors for the first time in his career.

There is an expectation that once this deal is reached, Crowder will make his debut as soon as Wednesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Sacramento is dealing with multiple injuries; headlined by DeMar DeRozan’s back and Trey Lyles’ calf.

Currently, the Kings are 8-10 in the Western Conference. This lands them 12th in the conference.

Malik Monk (Ankle) Out At Least Two Weeks

According to the Sacramento Kings, Malik Monk has suffered a sprained ankle and will be out for at least the next two weeks.

There is good news in all of this, as there was no structure damage, per the X-rays. Plus, it’s only a moderate, not a severe, ankle sprain.

With this new injury, Monk will miss Sacramento’s upcoming seven games. This is assuming he’s only out for two weeks.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns. Monk stepped on the foot of Mason Plumlee, which saw him noticeably limping and head straight to the locker room. He did not return in their overtime win against Phoenix.

In ten games this season, Monk is averaging 12.6 points off 44.2% from the field, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 25.0 minutes.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Doug McDermott to a one-year deal. The money was never made public.

This roster move comes after Tuesday’s trade getting rid of Jalen McDaniels to clear salary and for roster flexibility.

McDermott, who is 32 years old, played for the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers last season. With Indiana, he averaged 4.2 points in 11.3 minutes. With San Antonio, he averaged 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 15.2 minutes.
