Kings agree to deal with former No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz

Free agent guard Markelle Fultz has agreed to a deal with the Sacramento Kings, his agent and attorney, Raymond Brothers of I AM Sports & Entertainment, told ESPN on Wednesday night.

The Kings have searched for a point guard since the trade-deadline departure of De'Aaron Fox, and now land a deal with Fultz, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft to the Philadelphia 76ers. After rehabbing from injury in the offseason, Fultz generated interest from multiple teams in recent months and narrowed to a couple of finalists before reaching agreement with the Kings.
