Sacramento Kings Hire BJ Armstrong as Assistant GM

The Sacramento Kings have hired former NBA player and three-time champion BJ Armstrong as their new assistant general manager under recently appointed GM Scott Perry. Armstrong brings over two decades of experience as both a player and player agent, which is expected to aid the Kings as they seek to rebuild following a disappointing 2024-25 season and their second consecutive playoff miss. The organization has undergone significant changes, including a new head coach and a midseason trade of franchise guard De’Aaron Fox, with Perry emphasizing the need for a traditional point guard and greater frontcourt versatility. Armstrong's leadership and experience are anticipated to help the team navigate its pivotal offseason and roster reconstruction. His appointment also reunites him with fellow Iowa Hawkeye Keegan Murray, who is entering his fourth season with the Kings.
