One of the newest Kings has not suited up for Sacramento. Instead, the team will give him some run in Stockton.
The team assigned forward Caleb Swanigan to their NBA G League affiliate Wednesday. Swanigan was acquired Feb. 7 in a trade that sent Skal Labissiere to the Portland Trail Blazers in a swap of little-used forwards.
Swanigan, 21, appeared in 18 games for the Trail Blazers, averaging 1.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes.
“Caleb is a young guy who needs to work on his game, and we’re going to do everything to help him develop,” Kings general manager Vlade Divac said during a press conference after the trade was announced.
