Daeqwon Plowden News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Handling bench role Plowden registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Logs 15 points in 11 minutes Plowden logged 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two blocks, an assist and a steal in 11 minutes during Thursday's 114-110 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Impact Plowden was red-hot off the bench in the loss, building on the excellent play late last season that earned him a two-year, $5.1M contract in July. Plowden could fill a variety of roles with the Kings this season, but he's likely headed to a wing support role that won't yield many minutes once the season starts.

Hits for 17 points from bench Plowden racked up 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 117-113 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Plowden has been with the parent club since late January. Although his numbers have jumped around a bit, his steady involvement has made a case for a roster spot with the 2026-27 edition of the Kings. After failing to catch on with the Hawks during his rookie season, Plowden has a better spot to continue his career with the injury-riddled Kings. The team is running with a shallow rotation as the season draws to a close, so Plowden's minutes should remain consistent through the final two weeks.
