After waiving Terence Davis earlier this week, the Sacramento Kings are now being linked to Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr.

Bleacher Report NBA Insider Jake Fischer reported the rumor, while others mentioned them potentially exploring the idea of moving Dario Saric in the deal.

There has been buzz all summer long about the Sixers looking to potentially move one of, if not both, Andre Drummond and Kelly Oubre. If they are able to find a deal for one of those two guys as we get closer to camp, that would open up some more wiggle room for Philadelphia to be able to pay Quentin Grimes a little bit more than what he’s looking for right now and what that qualifying offer would be. So, that situation, I think, is still one that’s undetermined as well.

Oubre played 60 games for the Philadelphia 76ers last season, averaging 15.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists on 47.0 percent from the field in 34.6 minutes per night.

He also converted an underwhelming 29.3 percent from three-point range on an average of four attempts per contest.

That could increase Sacramento’s already existing spacing concerns with the likes of Dennis Schroder, DeMar DeRozan, and Domantas Sabonis.

But they’re also significantly lacking forward depth, something Oubre could help with. He’s also proven more recently than Saric that he can still regularly contribute.

After re-signing with the Sacramento Kings at the end of last season, wing Terence Davis has reportedly been waived by the team.

Michael Scott, NBA reporter for HoopsHype, broke the news on Tuesday afternoon.

Davis spent two and a half seasons with the Kings, including their Beam Team season that broke the playoff drought, but was not re-signed in the 2023 offseason.

More recently, new Kings general manager Scott Perry brought Davis in for the final three games of their regular season. He only saw the floor for roughly eight minutes, and that came in game 82.
