The Sacramento Kings have agreed to trade guard Devin Carter and a future second-round draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks, according to sources via ESPN.
The deal sends Carter, a standout defensive prospect, to an Atlanta Hawks team looking to strengthen its perimeter depth. Carter was a highly-touted selection for the Kings in the 2024 NBA Draft, praised for his high motor and two-way potential. The inclusion of a future second-round pick completes the package sent to Atlanta.
This transaction represents a shift in the Kings' immediate roster plans as they continue to refine their lineup around their established core. For the Hawks, the acquisition of Carter adds a young, versatile guard to a backcourt that has seen significant changes over the recent offseason.
Further details regarding the specific year of the second-round pick and any additional components of the trade are still emerging. The trade remains subject to standard league physicals and official approval from the NBA office before being finalized.
