King has committed to play for the Trail Blazers in the upcoming Vegas Summer League, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
King averaged 11.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game with the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers during the regular season, but he'll reportedly join Portland for the Vegas Summer League in a few months. He spent four games with the Dallas Mavericks this season before increasing his on-court production in the G League.

Rotowire
King posted 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 30 minutes in Thursday's win over South Bay.
Agua Caliente and South Bay went down to the wire to determine which team was going to reach the Western Conference, and King had another strong scoring output to lead his team. King averaged 13.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game on the regular season, though, so these scoring figures shouldn't surprise anyone.

George King: Struggles from field Saturday
Rotowire
King delivered 14 points (4-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds and a block across 25 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Hustle.
King had a rough shooting performance, and he ended with more field-goal attempts than points. Regardless of the subpar effort, King's role as one of Agua Caliente's go-to players on offense should not be under any sort of threat.

George King: Efficient performance Monday
Rotowire
King recorded 23 points (9-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, an assist and two steals across 29 minutes in Monday's win over the Squadron.
King was not able to match up Xavier Moon's 28-point performance, but he stood out because of his efficiency -- he only missed one of his 10 field-goal attempts. This 23-point output also equaled his best scoring effort of the current regular season. The consistency issues are real with King, though, as he hadn't reach the 20-point mark since early February.

Rotowire
King recorded 23 points (7-13 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a steal across 38 minutes in Monday's win over the Blue.
Surprisingly, King attempted every single one of his shots from beyond the arc and was particularly successful en route to leading Agua Caliente offensively. King is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field this season, however, so this might be an outlier rather than the norm going forward.

Mavericks' George King: Returns to NBA with Mavs
Rotowire
King and the Mavericks agreed Monday on a 10-day contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
King is joining Dallas on a hardship exemption while the Mavericks are currently without three players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols and three more due to injuries or personal matters. A 27-year-old wing, King, who previously made one appearance at the NBA level for Phoenix in 2018-19, isn't likely to play a prominent role in the Dallas rotation for the length of his stay on the roster. He had been playing with the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers, averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.5 triples, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks in 31.2 minutes per game across 11 appearances.

George King: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
King reported 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals, two assists and a block across 43 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Blue.
