The Sacramento Kings have filled its third and final two-way contract spot.

According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Kings have reached an agreement with free agent guard Daeqwon Plowden on a two-way contract for the 2025-26 season.

Plowden, a 6’6 guard out of Bowling Green, spent the 2024-25 season with the Atlanta Hawks on a two-way contract.

Over six appearances with Atlanta, Plowden averaged 7.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game while shooting 64 percent from the field and nine-of-17 (53%) from three-point range.

Plowden played for the Sacramento Kings during NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, appearing in six games and averaging 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks per game on 37 percent shooting from three-point range.

The 26-year-old will join rookie center Dylan Cardwell and guard Isaiah Stevens as the trio who will split time between Stockton and Sacramento this upcoming season.

We may be on the verge of entering August, but the Jonathan Kuminga saga appears to be far from over.

Following weeks of reports that indicated the restricted free agent forward was in talks with multiple teams on potential deals, ESPN published an extensive update on the ongoing rift between Kuminga and his most recent employer, the Golden State Warriors.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania and Anthony Slater, the Warriors made another push this week to retain the former seventh-overall pick, but Kuminga rebuffed an offer of $45 million over two years.

A main sticking point in those talks, per Charania and Slater, was the fact that the second year of that proposal was a team option. Golden State was also unwilling to maintain the no-trade clause that would be included in the deal.

Jonathan Kuminga had a falling out with the Warriors during the 2024-25 season, which is why the 22-year-old appears to be more keen on accepting an offer outside of the Bay Area.

The issue with Kuminga moving on from the Warriors is his status as a restricted free agent, and that he’s reportedly in the market for a contract worth $25-30 million per season.

While Golden State has provided Kuminga with offers that are below his liking, Charania and Slater report that the 6’8 forward has received offers of up to $90 million over four years during negotiations with the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns, with Phoenix having made ‘the most lucrative’ push thus far.

Kuminga prefers a fresh start, meaning that landing with the Kings or Suns would be the preferred end-scenario, but the Warriors have shown that they have no interest in taking back what Sacramento and Phoenix are offering in sign-and-trade discussions.
