Kings Sign Doug McDermott to One-Year Deal

The Sacramento Kings have signed veteran forward Doug McDermott to a one-year deal, aiming to bolster their shooting capabilities ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season. At 32 years old and entering his 11th season, McDermott brings a career average of 41% shooting from beyond the arc, making him a valuable addition to the team's roster. This move follows the Kings' recent struggles in preseason shooting, where they ranked last in 3-point percentage at 25.2%. McDermott's experience and scoring ability will augment the Kings' front court depth after the trade of Jalen McDaniels. The Kings are hopeful that McDermott's presence will enhance their playoff aspirations in a competitive Western Conference. Sacramento now has 14 players under standard contracts and one open roster spot as they prepare for the season's start.
