Sacramento Kings Sign Nerlens Noel to One-Year Deal
Noel Agrees to a $3.1 Million Contract
The signing comes after the Kings signed JaVale McGee to a guaranteed contract
The Sacramento Kings have signed free agent center Nerlens Noel to a one-year, $3.1 million deal, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The signing comes after the Kings signed JaVale McGee to a guaranteed contract, leaving Noel as the backup center behind Domantas Sabonis.
Noel, 28, is a seven-year NBA veteran who has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder, and New York Knicks. He averaged 5.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season with the Knicks.
The Kings are hoping that Noel can provide them with some much-needed depth at the center position. Sabonis is a good starter, but he is prone to injuries and has struggled to stay healthy in recent seasons. Noel is a solid rebounder and defender, and he can also score a little bit.
The signing of Noel is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Kings. He is a proven NBA player who can contribute in a number of ways. If he can stay healthy, he could be a valuable addition to the Kings' rotation.
