Sacramento Kings sign Kent Bazemore and Quinn Cook

The Sacramento Kings have signed Kent Bazemore and Quinn Cook, according to General Manager Monte McNair.

Bazemore spent the 2020-21 season with the Golden State Warriors before joining the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2021-22 season.

Cook appeared in 11 regular season games (eight starts) for the Stockton Kings last season, averaging 23.7 points, 5.8 assists, 5.1 rebounds, while shooting 52.4 percent from the field.

Per the Sacramento Bee, “General manager Monte McNair has assembled more talent and depth than Sacramento has seen in years, arguably going back to the last time the Kings made the playoffs in 2006. The Kings are widely expected to contend for a play-in spot and some national analysts believe they will finally end their NBA-record 16-year playoff drought, but first they have to finalize their roster and rotation.”
