5:08pm: The signing is official, tweets James Ham of The Kings Beat.
4:00pm: The Kings are adding free agent shooting guard Brodric Thomas to their training camp roster, reports Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee (Twitter link).
While Anderson doesn’t specify what type of contract Thomas will sign, it will almost certainly be a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal, which won’t count against Sacramento’s cap.
Thomas appeared in a total of 44 NBA regular season games for the Rockets, Cavaliers, and Celtics from 2020-22, but has mostly played in the G League since going undrafted out of Truman State in 2020. Last season, he appeared in 22 games for the Clippers’ G League affiliate, averaging 11.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 24.9 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .387/.357/.750.
The 27-year-old also represented the G League United earlier this month in exhibition games against Serbian team KK Mega Basket.
Although Thomas has only made 18-of-68 (26.5%) three-point attempts at the NBA level, he’s known as a talented shooter and has made 38.9% of 373 career outside shots in the G League.
Assuming Thomas signs an Exhibit 10 contract, he could have it converted to a two-way deal before the regular season or he could be eligible for a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he’s waived by Sacramento and then spends at least 60 days with the Kings’ G League affiliate. However, the Stockton Kings would have to acquire his returning rights from the San Diego Clippers for that latter scenario to happen.
Once Thomas’ deal is official, Sacramento will have a full 21-man preseason roster.
Nice, some guys are injured for Sac so we’ll get to see what he’s got!!
