Can you believe the Kings cleared two roster spots in one day? They waived Gabe Levin and Tyrone Marshall on Friday, per NBA.com’s transaction log, and then inked former Hornets and Wizards forward Leaky Black to a training‑camp contract, Spot Up Shot’s Paul Garcia reported.
North Carolina native Black spent five seasons at UNC before entering free agency in early July after Washington let him go. He likely signed an Exhibit 10 deal, which could net him up to $91 K if he’s cut before the season and spends 60 days with Sacramento’s G League affiliate in Stockton.
Exhibit 10 contracts can morph into two‑way deals, and Sacramento still has one two‑way slot open. In my view, adding Black on such terms is a savvy low‑risk move for the Kings.
Other clubs also made minor moves on Friday. Below is a quick rundown of those transactions, compiled from tweets by Garcia and The Oklahoman’s Justin Martinez.
