Sacramento Kings hire Scott Perry as new GM

Scott Perry has been introduced as the new general manager of the Sacramento Kings, returning to a franchise that has faced significant instability and recent setbacks, including missing the playoffs after a brief resurgence.

Owner Vivek Ranadive praised Perry's extensive NBA experience and commitment to creating a winning culture, highlighting his prior success with other franchises and his brief stint with the Kings in 2017. Perry emphasized the need for stability and development within the Kings organization and expressed enthusiasm about helping the team move forward competitively. His priorities identified at his introductory press conference include bolstering the roster’s athleticism and addressing key positional needs.
