Kings sign forward Jonathan Mogbo to two-way deal

The Sacramento Kings are still looking to make a splash this offseason, but that hasn’t stopped general manager Scott Perry from rounding out his roster.

According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Kings have reached a deal with forward Jonathan Mogbo on a two-way contract for the 2026-27 season.

Mogbo, the 31st pick in the 2024 NBA Draft out of San Francisco, spent the 2025-26 season with the Toronto Raptors, averaging 1.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game on 59 percent shooting from the field (40 games).

The forward will split time between Sacramento and G League affiliate Stockton next season.

More on new Kings forward Jonathan Mogbo

Mogbo will slide into one of Sacramento’s three vacant two-way contract spots, giving the Kings a 6’9, 225-pound option who can play the four or five in certain lineups.

The 24-year-old spent 12 games with Toronto’s G League affiliate, Raptors 905, where he averaged 14.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 62 percent from the field.

Doing most of his work on the defensive end, Mogbo fits what Perry and his front office are looking for when it comes to establishing a defensive presence, something the offense-heavy Sacramento roster needs heading into 2026-27.

Perry has struck gold with two-way roster spots before, most recently with undrafted center Dylan Cardwell, who became a fan-favorite during the 2025-26 season.

In recent years, the Kings also saw undrafted guard Keon Ellis climb from a two-way spot into becoming a key contributor for Sacramento, Cleveland, and now Brooklyn, where he signed a multi-year deal this week in free agency.

Jonathan Mogbo Scouting Report

At 6’8”, Mogbo is a bruiser who’ll primarily play as a five at the next level. He has a 7-foot-plus wingspan that makes up for the lack of size. However, the plus value is in his excellent upper body strength combined with his fluid hips. This makes him mobile while being able to handle physical contact consistently.

Mogbo is a great athlete who gets quickly off the ground with his vertical pop. Combined with his huge hands, he has the tools to be an above-average roll man at the next level. A potential game-changer in the above-mentioned areas is Mogbo’s excellent burst which opens up the ability to guard multiple positions at the next level.

One crucial trait Mogbo will offer an NBA team is to guard the perimeter effectively. In a switch-heavy NBA game, the ability to defend in space laterally becomes more important, especially considering that downhill driving is still one of the most used weapons to collapse a defense.

In Mogbo’s case, he recognizes when to rotate and when to keep up with his assignments. He slides his feet well on defense; the most important thing that stands out is his ability to maintain his balance at all costs.
