The Sacramento Kings will return from its two-week, six-game road trip with one less player on the active roster.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Kings have waived center Filip Petrsuev as they plan to keep the 15th and final roster spot open “for the foreseeable future.”
Petrsuev, 23, has reportedly been linked to Greek League club Olympiacos–the former club of current Sacramento forward Sasha Vezenkov.
ESPN Sources: The Sacramento Kings are waiving F Filip Petrusev, who’s expected to sign a deal overseas. The Kings plan to hold open the 15th roster spot for the foreseeable future. Petrusev, 23, appeared in two games for Kings.
