Kings' Nerlens Noel: Agrees to deal with Sacramento
Nerlens Noel and the Sacramento Kings agreed to a one-year, $3.1 million deal Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Noel made 17 appearances (four starts) split between the Nets and Pistons last year, averaging 2.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 11.5 minutes per game. The 2013 first-round pick has struggled to stay healthy during his career, but when available, he can be a solid defender. In Sacramento, he'll presumably compete with Alex Len and Trey Lyles for backup center minutes behind Domantas Sabonis (thumb).

Nerlens Noel: Sees 10-day contract expire
Nerlens Noel isn't expected to sign another contract with the Nets after his first 10-day contract expired Wednesday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.Noel appeared in three games with Brooklyn after being bought out by Detroit in late February and struggled to impress the team enough to earn another contract. In his three appearances with the Nets, Noel averaged 1.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 14.3 minutes. It's unclear if the veteran big man will garner much interest on the open market.

Nets' Nerlens Noel: Makes Brooklyn debut
Nerlens Noel played 18 minutes and produced two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one steal in Tuesday's 118-96 win over the Rockets.With Ben Simmons (knee/back) missing his seventh straight game Tuesday and second-year big man Day'Ron Sharpe having struggled in his recent appearances before falling out of the rotation, head coach Jacque Vaughn turned to the newly signed Noel to handle backup center duties behind Nic Claxton. Noel wasn't particularly impressive during his time on the court, as he committed more fouls (five) and turnovers (three) than any other statistic. That said, Noel has shown the ability in the past to put up interesting defensive counting stats when given meaningful run, so he could have some appeal as a deep-league streamer for steals and blocks if he stabilizes in a 15-to-20-minute role behind Claxton.

Nets' Nerlens Noel: Inks 10-day deal
The Brooklyn Nets signed Nerlens Noel to a 10-day deal Monday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.Noel was recently bought out by the Pistons after appearing in just 14 games and will join Brooklyn on a short-term deal. With Ben Simmons (back/knee) out indefinitely, Noel will compete with Day'Ron Sharpe for the top backup center spot behind Nic Claxton and could stick around for the rest of the season if he's able to impress. However, even if Noel does carve out a rotational role, he's unlikely to produce well enough to crack fantasy relevancy in standard leagues.
