Kings' Jeremy Lamb: Slated to join Sacramento
Rotowire
Lamb is expected to sign with the Kings on Friday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Lamb didn't play in the NBA last year, so he's a long shot to make Sacramento's Opening Night roster. He appeared in 16 games for the Kings during the second half of the 2021-22 campaign and averaged 7.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 18.2 minutes. Lamb averaged at least 10 points per game in four straight campaigns from 2017-2020, including a career-high 15.3 during his final campaign with Charlotte in 2018-19. However, it's unclear how much the 31-year-old wing has left in the tank.
Lamb racked up 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 loss to New Orleans.
Lamb produced one of the best lines of the season in the loss. If Alvin gentry follows through with his intent to limit Davion Mitchell to close the season, we may see a bit more from Lamb in the final week. Lamb is with his fourth team in 10 seasons, so his spot on the Kings' roster next season could be in question.

Kings' Jeremy Lamb: Gets 16 minutes in return
Rotowire
Lamb (personal) played 16 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Kings' 127-124 overtime loss to the Suns, finishing with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists.
Back in action after missing the previous three contests, Lamb reclaimed a spot on the Kings' second unit and was productive during his time on the court. He still looks to be behind Justin Holiday, Donte DiVincenzo and Davion Mitchell in the Kings' pecking order on the wing, so Lamb can't be relied upon to see his role expand much from here.
