Following tonight’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, The Sacramento Kings are set to waive Filip Petrusev, as per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Kings, following this decision, plan to leave their 15th standard roster spot vacant “for the foreseeable future.”
It’s anticipated that Petrusev will soon ink a deal overseas, an insight provided by Wojnarowski.
James Ham of TheKingsBeat.com discloses that the 23-year-old Serbian forward/center is poised to join forces with EuroLeague powerhouse Olympiacos, confirming previous speculations connecting him to the Greek club.
In the 2021 draft, Petrusev, chosen as the 50th pick, embarked on an international stint before securing a two-year, minimum-salary agreement with the Sixers in the recent offseason.
His basketball journey took a twist when Sixers traded him to the Clippers as part of the James Harden deal, and he swiftly found himself traded to Sacramento in exchange for monetary considerations.
Despite committing to a two-year deal, Petrusev’s earnings for the 2024/25 season were without assurance. The Kings roster now stands at 17 players, including 2 on two way contracts.
