Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Sacramento rookie guard Devin Carter will miss at least six months after undergoing left shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, the Kings announced on Thursday.
Carter, 22, was the 13th overall pick in last month's NBA draft after earning Big East Player of the Year at Providence (career-high 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists) in 2023-24.
Carter played one season at South Carolina before transferring to Providence for the past two seasons. In 96 college games (73 starts), Carter averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
Last weekend, the Kings obtained six-time All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan in a three-team sign-and-trade with the San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls.
In the deal, Sacramento sent forward Harrison Barnes and an unprotected 2031 pick swap to the Spurs. The Bulls acquired swingman Chris Duarte, a pair of second-round draft picks and cash from the Kings and two-player RaiQuan Gray from the Spurs.
