  10D ago • By RotoWire

  The Kings waived DeRozan (hamstring) on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. With the Kings unable to find a suitable trade, the two sides will simply move on. With this news, DeRozan suddenly becomes one of the most intriguing free agents on the open market. In 2025-26, DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.2 minutes per game across 77 regular-season appearances.

• Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Destination unsettled for 2026-27

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  DeRozan (hamstring) could be working with a new point guard in 2026-27 after Sacramento took Darius Acuff with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. DeRozan's stay with Sacramento is certainly not guaranteed, though. The expectation is that the Kings will waive the veteran forward if they're unable to find a suitor in trade talks, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. If DeRozan ends up sticking around with the Kings, he'll be trying to bounce back after averaging 18.4 points per game in 2024-25, his lowest total since 2012-13.
