DOUG MCDERMOTT NEWS

Cracks rotation Wednesday McDermott ended with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) across eight minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 loss to the Hawks.

Impact McDermott saw action for the first time this season, an indication of how bad things are right now in Sacramento. The veteran has never really been a viable fantasy asset, and at this point, he would need a miracle for that to change.

Plans to re-sign with Kings McDermott intends to sign a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact McDermott is set to return to Sacramento for his second season, and he'll help offer the team a veteran presence off the bench. That said, he's unlikely to see meaningful playing time in the Kings' frontcourt as long as DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray are healthy in 2025-26. Last year, McDermott logged a mere 8.1 minutes per game across 42 regular-season outings but did shoot a career-high 43.6 percent from three-point range during his limited action.

Impact McDermott got the start Monday due to the absence of Keegan Murray (ankle), and the veteran responded with an efficient performance and some much-needed floor spacing. His role in the upcoming games will be determined by Murray's availability, but expect McDermott to experience a slight uptick in minutes and usage rate if Murray remains sidelined.
