Former KU guard Ben McLemore shipped by Memphis back to Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings on Tuesday re-acquired former Kansas guard Ben McLemore, and also picked up center Deyonta Davis, a 2021 second-round draft selection and cash considerations from the Memphis Grizzlies for guard Garrett Temple, the Kings announced on the team’s website.

McLemore, a 6-foot-5, 25-year-old shooting guard from St. Louis who was selected No. 7 overall by the Kings in the 2013 NBA Draft, signed a two-year free-agent contract with Memphis last offseason after spending four seasons with the Kings.

He averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 56 games with the Grizzlies after putting up four-year averages of 9.
