The Kings and forward Terry Taylor have agreed to a 10-day contract, agent Darrell Comer tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
Tayor, 25, has appeared in a total of 95 NBA regular season games for the Pacers and Bulls since 2021, but hasn’t been on an NBA roster since last fall, when he was in camp with Sacramento. He was cut just before the regular season began.
The 6’4″ forward has spent the year in the G League with Sacramento’s affiliate, the Stockton Kings, averaging 16.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.0 block in 33.9 minutes per game across 44 total appearances in the Tip-Off Tournament and the regular season. He has posted a shooting line of .443/.364/.708.
Taylor seems unlikely to enter the Kings’ rotation at the NBA level, but will provide depth as the team continues its push for a postseason berth.
Sacramento had been carrying just 13 players on standard contracts and was required to get back to 14 this week, as we explained on Sunday. Taylor will fill that 14th spot for at least the next 10 days. When his deal expires, the Kings will have the option of signing him to another 10-day deal, signing him for the rest of the season, or letting him go. If Taylor isn’t re-signed, the club would have to add a new 14th man.
Taylor will earn $124,288 over the course of his 10-day deal, while the Kings carry a cap hit of $119,972. He’ll be eligible to appear in up to six games for Sacramento during those 10 days.
The Red Rooster?
If only this guy could learn to be a PG. Perfect size and would dominate the boards for one but he can be like Roddy, Javonte Green and Nassir Little being a tiny 6’4 PF’s
Imagine Dwayne Wade 6’4 as your starting PF (example)
Are men just not skilled anymore that we only have 6’4 guards, 6’7 and 6’9 playing every other position n guys running around pretending to play basketball
3 pt attempt, miss, someone random gets the rebound, fast break, no dribbling, no defence, watching each other shoot a 3. Run down court, repeat over and over. Soon they won’t be inbounding the ball after a basket.
It’s guys like this G-League talent “Terry Taylor” are why NBA players aren’t popular as they should be, let alone the game being interesting or watchable anymore.
