Kings trim down roster, waive three players

The Kings have waived guard Antoine Davis and forwards Shareef O’Neal and Drew Timme, according to NBA.com’s transactions log.

All three players signed with Sacramento on Friday so the Kings could obtain their G League rights. They will all be eligible for bonuses worth up to $77.5K if they spend at least 60 days with the team’s affiliate in Stockton.

Davis played last season for Portland’s G League team, the Rip City Remix, and had his rights traded to the Kings earlier this month. He averaged 14.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 44 Showcase Cup and regular season games for the Remix.

O’Neal, the son of Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, played for the G League Ignite last season after going undrafted out of LSU. He participated in the Next Up Game at All-Star Weekend.

Timme is a former standout at Gonzaga who played for the G League Wisconsin Herd last season. The Kings also recently acquired his returning player rights in a trade.

Sacramento has 12 players with fully guaranteed contracts, along with Orlando Robinson, who has a $500K guarantee on his $2.09M deal, so the team has the flexibility to adjust the roster before opening night. All three two-way slots are filled.
