The Kings have agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with free agent shooting guard, as reported by his agent, George S. Langberg, to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
He went undrafted after his time at Washington State in 2023 and previously signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Cavaliers last September. He participated in training camp and preseason with the team before being waived and joining the Cleveland Charge as a G League affiliate player.
During his rookie season with the Charge, he played in 44 Showcase Cup and regular season games, averaging 6.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 23.9 minutes per game, with shooting percentages of .421 from the field, .368 from three-point range, and .824 from the free-throw line.
At 23 years old, Powell’s G League returning rights were traded from the Charge to the Stockton Kings in a three-team deal earlier this month. If he is waived by Sacramento and spends at least 60 days with Stockton, he will be eligible for an Exhibit 10 bonus of up to $77.5K in addition to his NBAGL salary.
Currently, the Kings have 19 players on their 21-man preseason roster, so they do not need to make any corresponding moves to accommodate Powell.
