[[ An interesting wrinkle with the Jonathan Kuminga situation is that he is set to represent the Democratic Republic of the Congo at AfroBasket.
The competition begins August 12th.
Presumably, he'd like to have his financial future sorted before participating in those games ]]
This will make a few of you sad
[[ Just In: The Sacramento Kings and Daeqwon Plowden have agreed to a two-way deal, agent Drew Kelso of One Motive Sports told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Plowden averaged 7.2 points on 64% shooting from the field and 53% from 3-point range in six games for the Hawks as a two-way player last season ]]
