The Kings are set to waive Davis! This move frees up a roster spot and increases salary flexibility: targeting Kuminga or Westbrook

On September 11th Beijing time, sources informed HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto (via Twitter) that the Sacramento Kings plan to waive shooting guard Terence Davis.

The 28-year-old Davis has spent the majority of the past two seasons playing in the NBA G League. He joined the Kings in April of this year and took part in the last game of the regular season. His contract carries a non-guaranteed salary of $2,546,675 for the upcoming season, so the Kings will not owe any salary after waiving him.

Davis entered the NBA in 2019 as a member of the Toronto Raptors, but his best career phase came with the Kings—who acquired him via trade at the 2021 deadline. Before heading to the G League, he served as a key scoring reserve for the Kings over two and a half seasons, providing consistent offensive contributions.

During the 2023-24 season, Davis suffered an Achilles tendon rupture but successfully made a full recovery. Last season, he averaged 14.3 points per game with the Wisconsin Herd in the G League, shooting 40.2% from three-point range, demonstrating solid form.

Once this waiver takes effect, the Kings will have 14 standard contract players on their roster, including Keon Ellis—whose $2.3 million contract for next season is also non-guaranteed. Currently, all three two-way contract slots are filled, and there are no other players awaiting signing in the offseason roster.

There have been previous rumors that the Kings are interested in acquiring Jonathan Kuminga via trade or signing Russell Westbrook. Waiving Davis will free up roster spots and salary flexibility, creating room for potential trades or signings.
