Schroder will join a Cleveland team that is currently in possession of the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, but his mind shifted to his family as he prepared to move to his next NBA destination.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first, I was thinking about my family,\u201d Schroder said. \u201cOf course, they live with me here, and we\u2019ve been through it a little bit already last season, especially. So that was my first thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

I found out in the hotel in D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n Dennis Schroder signed a three-year, $44.5 million deal with Sacramento during the offseason, but struggled as a starting point guard during the opening weeks of the regular season.<\/p>\n Upon being moved to the bench for Russell Westbrook, Schroder has turned a corner, averaging 13.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game on 42\/36\/80 shooting splits over 26 games as a reserve.<\/p>\n Now, the veteran guard will look to help boost the Cavs\u2019 backcourt for the stretch run.<\/p>\n More Sacramento Kings coverage from Sactown Sports<\/p>\n Upcoming Sacramento Kings schedule for the 2025-26 season<\/p>\n Wednesday, February 4th\u00a0\u2013 vs. Memphis Grizzlies \u2013 7:00 PM PT Thank you for reading\u00a0SactownSports.com<\/a>.
