The Kings have waived guard PJ Dozier, the team announced today in a press release.
The move doesn’t come as a real surprise, given that Dozier played a limited role for Sacramento last season and would have had his $2.41MM salary for 2023/24 become guaranteed if he remained under contract beyond Monday, July 10. By cutting him today, the club won’t be on the hook for any of that money.
Dozier, 26, signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the Kings in January before reaching a rest-of-season deal with the team in February. He appeared in 16 games, averaging 1.4 points and 0.9 rebounds in just 4.9 minutes per night.
With Dozier off the roster, the Kings now have 13 players on standard contracts (once Sasha Vezenkov and Alex Len officially sign) and a pair on two-way deals, so they’re presumably not done making moves.
Sign a shot blocking PF somewhere
Their perfect signing is Wood. They need scoring from the bench and their only big in that unit is Len. They have 20 mil to spend before they can fall in the tax line. They can get him for much less than that
They have one, Queta.
He’s a third string center
Only if they don’t give him a real chance.
