Magic's Jalen Slawson: Reaches deal with Orlando
Slawson signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Magic on Wednesday.
Slawson spent the 2023-24 campaign on a two-way deal with the Kings and appeared in 12 games at the NBA level, averaging just 3.1 minutes per contest. He became an unrestricted free agent this summer after the Kings opted not to extend him a qualifying offer, and he'll now join Orlando for training camp with the hope of securing a spot on the 15-man roster or a two-way spot. If Slawson is cut before the start of the regular season, the Magic would retain his G League rights.

Kings' Jalen Slawson: Cracks rotation
Slawson finished Monday's 129-93 loss to the Pelicans with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 12 minutes.
Slawson played a season-high 12 minutes thanks to numerous injuries. Keon Ellis (ankle) and Sasha Vezenkov (thumb) were ruled out prior to tipoff, while Chris Duarte (hand) and Keegan Murray (back) left the contest early. Kevin Huerter also played through a finger injury that sidelined him for the team's previous contest. If the Kings remain shorthanded moving forward, Slawson could carve out a solid bench role, but his fantasy value is completely dependent on injuries.
