Emanuel Sharp News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Perfect from deep Sharp contributed nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Monday's 115-100 win over Dallas.

Impact Sharp made all three of his attempts from beyond the arc, providing efficient bench scoring in Sacramento's first win of the campaign. He also chipped in defensively, but his limited shot volume and uncertain night-to-night workload make him difficult to trust outside deeper fantasy leagues.

Playing reserve role Sharp racked up three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 14 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The rookie second-rounder has somewhat surprisingly nailed down a rotation spot in the early going with the rebuilding Kings. That's perhaps due to Ben Simmons going down for the season with an Achilles injury, but Sharp isn't quite yet on fantasy radars in most leagues.

Hits three triples Sharp recorded 11 points (3-9 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 114-110 preseason loss to the Lakers.

Impact Sharp provided Sacramento with perimeter scoring off the bench, accounting for all three of his field goals from beyond the arc. Although he struggled at the free-throw line, the rookie guard demonstrated his willingness to shoot from distance and avoided committing a turnover. Sharp will look to build on the performance as he competes for a spot in Sacramento's regular-season backcourt rotation.

Role uncertain for 2026-27 Sharp faces increased competition for playing time after the Kings signed Ben Simmons to a one-year deal Friday.

Impact Although Russell Westbrook is out of the picture now, Ben Simmons will return to the Association and figures to see a steady role in the Kings' rotation thanks to his defensive versatility and playmaking. Along with fellow rookie Alex Karaban, Sharp isn't guaranteed a meaningful role to begin his professional career. However, the No. 45 overall pick out of Houston could see increasingly steady minutes as the season progresses, depending on whether the Kings trade some of their veterans.

Impact Sharp scored 13 of his team-high 16 points in the first half, with the rookie second-rounder being one of six Kings players to score in double digits in Friday's victory. He also made his mark defensively with three steals, an area of his game that has really stood out so far in the Summer League. Zach LaVine (hand), Malik Monk (personal) and Nique Clifford (rest) are all ahead of Sharp on the Kings' depth chart, but Sharp could earn himself a consistent role in the rotation with a strong summer, training camp and preseason.

Rips away four steals in 23 minutes Sharp racked up 23 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four steals and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 115-83 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Nets.

Impact It was the Sharp and Darius Acuff show Tuesday, as the rookie duo combined for 49 of Sacramento's 83 points. Sharp caught fire from deep, knocking down a game-high six three-pointers, and he was a disruptive force on the defensive end, finishing with six stocks. However, with little offensive support from the rest of the roster, the Kings were blown out for the second straight game in Las Vegas.
