Kings waive veteran guard

The Sacramento Kings have waived guard Terence Davis, according to Sean Cunningham, the team’s radio reporter. The transaction reduces the Kings’ standard roster to a maximum of 15 players.

Davis’ chances of making the opening-night roster were significantly reduced by this week’s addition of Russell Westbrook, who signed a non-guaranteed contract on Friday. Davis signed a non-guaranteed deal with Sacramento last month but only appeared in one preseason game.

It’s actually the second time Davis has been waived by Sacramento this offseason. Davis, who has appeared in 122 total games across four seasons for the Kings since being traded from Toronto to Sacramento in 2021, entered the summer on a non-guaranteed deal but was waived in early September.

Davis appeared in 64 games for the Kings in 2022-23, averaging 6.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per contest, with a .423/.366/.791 shooting line. However, he hasn’t spent much time on an NBA roster since then.

Davis opened the 2023-24 campaign with the Rip City Remix in the G League, but suffered a torn Achilles in December that ended his season. The 6-foot-4 guard spent the majority of ’24-25 with the Wisconsin Herd in the NBAGL, averaging 14.2 PPG, 4.7 RPG, and 3.1 APG with a .415 3PT%, before he was called up to the Kings on the last day of the season.

He could wind up with the Stockton Kings, Sacramento’s affiliate, if he doesn’t receive another NBA opportunity.
