Nerlens Noel News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Cut loose by Kings The Kings waived Noel on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sacramento waived both Noel and Neemias Queta (foot) on Tuesday, meaning that Alex Len and JaVale McGee will compete for the team's backup center role behind Domantas Sabonis (thumb). Noel is a capable shot-blocker who can find himself on another roster competing for a depth role in the frontcourt for the 2023-24 season.

Starting for injured Claxton Noel will start Thursday's tilt against the Bucks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact With usual starting center Nic Claxton out (thumb, Achilles), Noel will draw the start in just his second appearance with Brooklyn. In three prior starts with the Pistons this season, the veteran averaged 3.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.7 steals and 1.3 assists in 20.3 minutes.

Makes Brooklyn debut Noel played 18 minutes and produced two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one steal in Tuesday's 118-96 win over the Rockets.

Impact With Ben Simmons (knee/back) missing his seventh straight game Tuesday and second-year big man Day'Ron Sharpe having struggled in his recent appearances before falling out of the rotation, head coach Jacque Vaughn turned to the newly signed Noel to handle backup center duties behind Nic Claxton. Noel wasn't particularly impressive during his time on the court, as he committed more fouls (five) and turnovers (three) than any other statistic. That said, Noel has shown the ability in the past to put up interesting defensive counting stats when given meaningful run, so he could have some appeal as a deep-league streamer for steals and blocks if he stabilizes in a 15-to-20-minute role behind Claxton.

Will see minutes Tuesday Noel is expected to see minutes Tuesday against the Rockets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Noel inked a 10-day deal with the Nets on Monday and will get action right away, potentially taking some minutes from Day'Ron Sharpe. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Noel, but he's been known to rack up blocks and steals in a hurry.

Inks 10-day deal The Nets signed Noel to a 10-day deal Monday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Noel was recently bought out by the Pistons after appearing in just 14 games and will join Brooklyn on a short-term deal. With Ben Simmons (back/knee) out indefinitely, Noel will compete with Day'Ron Sharpe for the top backup center spot behind Nic Claxton and could stick around for the rest of the season if he's able to impress. However, even if Noel does carve out a rotational role, he's unlikely to produce well enough to crack fantasy relevancy in standard leagues.

Impact Noel had missed six straight games due to personal reasons, but it appears like he was just away from the team while negotiating a buyout.

Doesn't play Thursday Noel (knee) didn't appear in Thursday's loss to the Bulls.

Impact The Pistons didn't specify Noel's availability prior to tipoff Thursday, and he didn't take the court for the team's game in Paris. He's been on the fringes of the team's rotation for most of the season, so it's unclear whether he was available off the bench. The 28-year-old's next chance to return to the court will be Monday against the Bucks.
