Report: Kings trade McDaniels, second-round pick to Spurs originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Kings made a surprising move with the 2024-2025 NBA season just around the corner.
Sacramento traded 26-year-old forward Jalen McDaniels and a second-round NBA Draft pick to the San Antonio Spurs, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday, citing sources.
Charania also reported that the Spurs plan to waive McDaniels upon completion of the trade and pointed out that the move gives Sacramento important roster flexibility with the start of the season just 10 days away.
Sacramento originally acquired McDaniels this offseason in a trade that sent Sasha Vezenkov and Davion Mitchell to the Toronto Raptors.
The five-year veteran averaged 6.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game on 44.9 percent from the field and 32.2 percent from three-point range in 248 career games with the Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors .
