The Kings have officially signed center Drew Eubanks, according to NBA.com’s transaction log. The move had been anticipated after the big man was waived last week by the Clippers.
Eubanks, 28, opened the 2024/25 season with the Jazz and appeared in 37 games for the club, averaging 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 15.4 minutes per contest.
His playing time dropped off after he was sent to the Clippers in a deadline deal — the 6’10” center averaged just 2.7 PPG and 2.4 RPG in 7.4 MPG across 24 appearances in Los Angeles and only saw garbage-time action in the playoffs for the Clippers. As such, it came as no surprise when L.A. opted to waive him before his $4.75MM salary for 2025/26 became guaranteed.
Eubanks will provide depth in the Kings’ frontcourt behind center Domantas Sabonis, giving the team a reliable veteran off the bench alongside young bigs Isaac Jones and Maxime Raynaud.
While the terms of his one-year deal haven’t yet been reported, it will almost certainly be a minimum-salary contract for Eubanks.
