McDermott posted 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-11 3Pt) and five rebounds across 25 minutes in Thursday's 113-91 loss to the Clippers.
McDermott's order in the rotation is unclear as the season begins, but he could be the odd man out if Kevin Huerter's play improves from last season. Huerter will already struggle for playing time behind DeMar DeRozan and Keon Ellis, and Malik Monk should reclaim his role as Sacramento's sixth man. The rotation will crystallize further once the regular season gets underway.
