Daishen Nix Signs 10-Day Contract with Sacramento Kings
In a recent move aimed at bolstering their backcourt depth, the Sacramento Kings have signed guard Daishen Nix to a 10-day contract. Nix, who made his NBA debut in 2021 with the Houston Rockets as an undrafted rookie, brings experience from both the NBA and G League. His addition comes after the Kings made roster changes at the trade deadline, creating opportunities for new players to contribute.
Prior to joining the Kings, Nix had a stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he played three games this season before being waived. Following his release, he showcased his skills in the G League, playing for the Iowa Wolves and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. In 17 games across both G League teams this season, he averaged impressive numbers:
- Points: 18.5
- Assists: 7.2
- Rebounds: 4.7
- Steals: 2.5
- Turnovers: 3.9 per game
- Shooting Efficiency: .364 field goal percentage, .298 from three, .732 from the free-throw line
Nix’s role with the Kings will likely focus on backcourt depth, especially as the team prepares for its upcoming games before the All-Star break. He will earn $124,288 for the duration of the 10-day contract, giving him a chance to prove himself on a regular NBA roster.
The Kings have three open spots available on their 15-man roster following their recent trades, allowing them to explore options like Nix as they move deeper into the season.
