Kings' Skal Labissiere: Let go by Sacramento
The Kings waived Labissiere on Friday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Kings' Skal Labissiere: Gets new deal with Sacramento
Labissiere signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Kings on Wednesday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Labissiere will spend training camp with Sacramento, though he'll likely report to the G League's Stockton Kings once the 2024-25 campaign kicks off. He was named to the G League Up Next Game last season but hasn't made an NBA regular-season appearance since 2019-20.

Kings' Skal Labissiere: Returns to Sacramento
Labissiere signed a one-year contract with the Kings on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Labissiere will make a return to the organization that drafted him in 2016 after spending last season in the G League. The 27-year-old averaged 8.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 blocks in 23.8 minutes per contest (nine games) for Mexico City during the 2022-23 campaign and will likely compete for a bench role behind Domantas Sabonis (thumb) during training camp.

Skal Labissiere: Solid production off bench
Labissiere offered eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during the Capitanes' 117-115 loss to Stockton on Wednesday.
The big man came off the bench and put together a solid line relative to playing time. Labissiere has gotten some good late-season work in with Mexico City, as he was averaging 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 blocks across 24 minutes over eight games heading into Friday's regular-season finale.

Skal Labissiere: Season-best performance Thursday
Labissiere delivered 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 36 minutes in the Capitanes' 118-107 loss Greensboro on Thursday.
The big man continues to impress the more he plays, as he followed up Wednesday's solid eight-point, 11-rebound effort with a season-high scoring tally. Labissiere's 148 games of NBA experience are unsurprisingly beginning to serve him well at the G League level, and with Kenneth Faried currently sitting out some games due to his two-way deal, the 26-year-old big is taking full advantage.

Skal Labissiere: Solid as starter in win
Labissiere furnished eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes in the Capitanes' 122-116 win over Greensboro on Wednesday.
Labissiere entered the first unit for the first time in Mexico City and and acquitted himself very well on the glass, pacing the team in rebounds on the night. Given his prior NBA experience, Labissiere could continue to develop as a dominant frontcourt force as the remainder of the G League season unfolds.

Skal Labissiere: Five points off bench Monday
Labissiere registered five points (2-9 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks across 21 minutes in the Capitanes' 109-90 loss to Capital City on Monday.
The big man was playing in his second game with the Capitanes after signing with the team March 3. Labissiere showed some upside at the NBA level late last decade with the Kings and Trail Blazers and is still just 26 years old, so he could potentially see his role expand in coming games.

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Nearing return
Labissiere (knee) had been cleared to return to modified team practice before the NBA suspended its season March 11, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
As Spencer notes, Labissiere's return to practice likely marks the final hurdle he needed to clear in his recovery from a left knee chondral injury, which had prevented him from playing since late December, when he was still a member of the Trail Blazers. With the NBA season unlikely to be resumed until at least May, Labissiere should be at or near full health once the Hawks are cleared to resume training. Even though he should be available for whatever games the Hawks have left, Labissiere is unlikely to hold a meaningful role in coach Lloyd Pierce's rotation.

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Cleared for impact work
Labissiere (knee) has been cleared to participate in impact activities and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Labissiere is making good progress, but it will still be at least two weeks before he potentially steps on the court again. Look for more updates as he continues to hit various other milestones in his recovery.

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Progresses to non-contact work
Labissiere (knee) was spotted participating in non-contact drills during Monday's shootaround, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
While Labissiere likely remains multiple weeks away from making a return to game action, the non-contact work he did Monday was an important point in his rehabilitation. Look for further updates on Labissiere's status to come as he continues to hit checkpoints in practice.

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Out for 'weeks'
Labissiere (knee) will remain out for "weeks," Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Shut down through break
Labissiere (knee), who has been ruled out in advance of Sunday's game against the Knicks, won't travel with the Hawks during the team's two-game road trip this week, Ben Ladner of SI.com reports.
Atlanta will wrap up its pre-All-Star break schedule with games Monday in Orlando and Wednesday in Cleveland, but neither Labissiere nor fellow newly acquired center Clint Capela (heel) will accompany the team as both continue their respective rehab processes. In Labissiere's case, he's been sidelined since late December with a left knee chondral injury and likely won't have a clear target date for his return to game action until he's able to take part in full-contact, full-court practices. The 23-year-old isn't likely to hold a prominent role in the Atlanta rotation once he's eventually healthy.

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Won't play Sunday

Hawks' Skal Labissiere: Traded to Hawks
The Trail Blazers dealt Labissiere (knee) to the Hawks on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Portland will also send $2 million to the Hawks in the deal, but it's unclear what or who Atlanta might be sending back in return, if anything. Atlanta has been stockpiling bigs of late, as Labissiere joins recent acquisitions Clint Capela (heel) and Dewayne Dedmon in a frontcourt that already features John Collins and Bruno Fernando (calf). Labissiere hasn't played since the end of December due to a knee injury, but he was scheduled to be re-evaluated this week following a month-long shutdown, so another update on his health should arrive soon. When healthy, Labissiere has posted averages of 5.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.1 minutes per game over his 33 appearances this season.
