The Sacramento Kings announced today that they would be assigning rookie Duje Dukan to their D-League affiliates, the Reno Bighorns. Dukan was signed to a two-year contract this summer after a good stint with the summer league, but has yet to see any playing time this season and only played 9 minutes during preseason as well.
Dukan will get plenty of opportunity in Reno in a high-octane offense. The Bighorns start their season tonight and it's not inconceivable that Duje could play in that game. Duje will join Vince Hunter and Marshall Henderson as affiliate players, although Hunter and Henderson's rights are not exclusive to the Kings.
