The Sacramento Kings are trading forward Jalen McDaniels, their 2031 second-round pick and cash considerations to the San Antonio Spurs, sources told ESPN on Monday.
The Spurs will waive McDaniels, sources said, and Sacramento now has roster flexibility for a potential move down the line. The Kings will receive a 2025 top-55 protected second-round pick via Chicago from the Spurs in the deal, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.

The Kings acquired McDaniels from the Toronto Raptors in June in exchange for Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov and a 2025 second-round pick via the Portland Trail Blazers.
McDaniels is in the second year of a two-year, $9.2 million deal he signed with the Raptors in the 2023 offseason.
McDaniels, 26, has averaged 6.9 points and 3.3 rebounds over his five NBA seasons. He averaged 10.1 minutes and 3.4 points in 50 games for the Raptors last season.
