According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Sacramento Kings are signing Killian Hayes to a 10-day contract. Since the trade deadline, the organization have had an open roster spot.

The 24-year-old has appeared in 28 G League games with the Cleveland Charge this season. In that run with the Charge, Hayes averaged 23.1 points, 8.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.7 steals.

By signing with the Kings, this will be his third team of his short career. For majority of his career, Hayes was on the Detroit Pistons, then he had a short stint with the Brooklyn Nets.

According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the Sacramento Kings will be without De’Andre Hunter for the remainder of the season due to him undergoing eye surgery to repair a detached retina.

Hunter suffered the injury on February 6th against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The 28-year-old is expected to make a fully recovery, no problems whatsoever, as a timeline for said injury will be announced in eight weeks.

Hunter only played in two games for the Kings this season, and, in those two games, he averaged 7.5 points and 1.5 rebounds.

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Zach LaVine has full intentions of opting into his $48.9 million player option for next season. This season, he stands to make $47.5 million.

The league-wide expectation is that the 30-year-old will not be traded at this year’s NBA deadline. This is wildly due to his massive remaining contract.

However, this upcoming offseason, it is entirely likely to see Sacramento trading LaVine as an expiring contract for the 2026-27 season. Despite carrying the massive contract, they could find value for LaVine from a team looking to clear salary for the 2027 offseason.

This season, LaVine is averaging 19.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
