Kings waive veteran guard

The Kings have waived veteran guard Jeremy Lamb, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Lamb was signed earlier this month on an Exhibit 10 contract. He’s expected to join Sacramento’s G League affiliate in Stockton after clearing waivers, according to Anderson. Lamb could receive a bonus of up to $75K if he stays with the Stockton franchise for at least 60 days.

Lamb saw action in Sacramento’s preseason opener on Sunday, scoring six points in six minutes.

Lamb, 31, is a former lottery pick who has appeared in 573 career regular season games since 2012 for four teams, including — most recently — the Kings. However, the veteran swingman wasn’t in the league last season following a down year in 2021-22. He averaged 7.3 PPG on .383/.324/.840 shooting in 56 games (16.7 MPG) for Indiana and Sacramento in 2021-22.

Sacramento had a full roster of 21 players entering camp, as our roster count shows. They’ll have to shed two more to get down the 15-man limit, along with three two-way players, by opening night.
