BREAKING: In a significant move for the Sacramento Kings, free agent Doug McDermott has just finalized a guaranteed one-year deal worth $3.6 million. This announcement comes from McDermott’s representatives, Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of Priority Sports, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
McDermott is entering his 12th NBA season and will be returning to Sacramento for a second consecutive year. Last season, he demonstrated his shooting prowess, hitting an impressive 44% from beyond the arc in 42 games. His ability to score from long range has made him a sought-after asset, as he holds a career average of 41.1% from three-point territory across his extensive career, which has included stints with seven different teams.
This latest signing is crucial for the Kings as they look to strengthen their roster in the highly competitive Western Conference. McDermott’s experience and shooting capability will be vital as the team aims for a deep playoff run this season.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how McDermott will contribute to the Kings’ offensive strategy moving forward. His track record indicates he will be a reliable option for head coach Mike Brown, especially in clutch situations where outside shooting can turn the tide of a game.
As the Kings prepare for the upcoming season, this signing serves as a clear signal of their intentions to compete at a higher level, and it will be interesting to monitor how McDermott integrates with the team’s existing talent.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Kings’ roster and other key NBA developments as the season approaches.
