As the start of the 2025-26 NBA regular season nears, the Sacramento Kings have trimmed their roster down to 18 players.
Sacramento announced early Saturday morning that guard Terence Davis has been waived, bringing the roster count to 18 players — 15 standard contracts and three two-ways, setting them up for Wednesday’s Opening-Night matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
The Kings could still make a roster move ahead of Wednesday’s opener, but after inking Russell Westbrook to a one-year deal earlier this week, they appear to be set for the start of the regular season.
Here’s a look at where things stand for the Sacramento Kings roster following the waiving of Davis:

Heading into their preseason finale against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Sacramento Kings were without three starters.
Keegan Murray (thumb) and Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) remain sidelined, but DeMar DeRozan was a late scratch due to groin soreness. Malik Monk missed his second consecutive preseason battle due to an illness.
New addition Russell Westbrook spent his first game on Sacramento’s bench, but did not suit up as he’s returning to game conditioning.
That left head coach Doug Christie in a tough spot with his starting unit, with Luka Doncic on the other side.
He elected to begin with Dennis Schroder, Zach LaVine, Nique Clifford, Isaac Jones, and Drew Eubanks.
Clifford was assigned to slow down Doncic from the jump, a big ask for their rookie. His offensive game shone early, finding Jones on a pick-and-roll before subsequently finishing a smooth up-and-under.
