The Boston Celtics have this habit of taking players the Sacramento Kings cast aside and turning them into valuable cogs. This has actually been a thing for well over a decade. Devin Carter could be the next installment.
Devin Carter has found his latest NBA opportunity. The guard has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Boston Celtics, per NBA insider Michael Scotto on Monday. Scotto added that Carter will compete for a roster or two-way spot throughout training camp, which is set to begin near the end of September.

The Golden State Warriors may get another chance at Ben Simmons after his contract at the Sacramento Kings was revealed to be non-guaranteed.
Resilience: The capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. I have never really applied “resilience” to the Golden Age Kings teams, opting for descriptors such as “fun” or “electric.” The teams of this era were underrated defensively, and more physical than the beauty of the offense would let on. But if one word could describe the early 2000 Kings and specifically the 2002-03 team, it might be “resilient.” Let’s Kings basketball. The Kings had a solid offseason, impr...
The Kings aren’t entering this season with particularly high expectations. One NBA scout saw no reason to dress it up. “Yeah, they’re going to be bad.” That was the scout’s assessment in Sports Illustrated’s 2026-27 season preview. No advanced metric.

The Kings are coming off a 22-60 season and are returning Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, mostly because no...
