Kings Sign Dennis Schröder After Fox Trade to Spurs

Veteran point guard Dennis Schröder has agreed to join the Sacramento Kings in NBA free agency, marking his 10th team in 12 seasons. Last season, Schröder played for the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, and Detroit Pistons, averaging 13.1 points and 5.4 assists while helping Detroit make the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Sacramento pursued Schröder after trading De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs and expects him to compete for the starting point guard spot. Schröder, 31, chose the Kings after Detroit declined to wait for his decision, despite some interest in retaining him. The Kings prioritized Schröder for his defensive skills and veteran leadership amid other potential options and ongoing roster changes. Terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, but reports indicate a possible annual salary of around $14 million.
