McLaughlin finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes during Monday's 111-110 win over the Heat. Coming into Monday, McLaughlin had appeared in four of the Kings' first six games, totaling two assists in 17 minutes. Despite a close game, he saw a season-high 11 minutes versus Miami, though it's worth noting Kevin Huerter (illness) was sidelined for a second straight game.

McLaughlin is starting Thursday's preseason game against Los Angeles, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. With De'Aaron Fox getting the night off, McLaughlin will start at point guard in the preseason finale. McLaughlin recorded nine points, four rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes off the bench in his last appearance Tuesday against the Jazz.

McLaughlin (ankle) is off the injury report for Sunday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. McLaughlin was held out for two weeks due to a Grade 2 right ankle sprain he sustained during offseason workouts. However, the 28-year-old is off the injury report and could make his debut for the Kings on Sunday. In 56 regular-season games with the Timberwolves last season, McLaughlin averaged 3.5 points and 2.0 assists across 11.2 minutes per game.

McLaughlin sustained a Grade 2 right ankle sprain during offseason workouts and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Fresh off inking a one-year deal over the summer, McLaughlin's start to the season will not be what he had in mind. When healthy, he is expected to compete with Keon Ellis for the backup point guard role behind De'Aaron Fox. The 28-year-old McLaughlin shot a career-best 47.2 percent from three-point range across 56 regular-season games in Minnesota last season to go along with 3.5 points and 1.3 rebounds across 11.2 minutes.

McLaughlin agreed to a one-year contract with the Kings on Sunday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. The 28-year-old spent the past five seasons with Minnesota and averaged 3.5 points, 2.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 11.2 minutes while shooting a career-best 47.2 percent from three-point range in 56 regular-season games in 2023-24. McLaughlin gives Sacramento an experienced reserve option at point guard behind De'Aaron Fox, though he won't necessarily be a part of head coach Mike Brown's rotation every night if the Kings' staff feels that rookie first-round Devin Carter is capable of initiating the offense when Fox is off the floor.
