The same day the Sacramento Kings reportedly agreed to a deal with Russell Westbrook, their G-League affiliate in Stockton added a familiar face in 28-year-old wing DaQuan Jeffries.
According to Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee, the plan is for Sacramento to waive Jeffries, creating a path for him to join Stockton for their 2025-26 season.
The following release is courtesy of the Sacramento Kings:
Today, the Stockton Kings, defending 2024-25 NBA G League Champions and the G League affiliate of the Sacramento Kings, announced they have acquired the returning player rights to guard DaQuan Jeffries in a trade with the Westchester Knicks. In exchange, the Knicks receive the returning rights to forward Terry Taylor and center Jalen Thomas, as well as Stockton’s 2026 NBA G League Draft first-round pick.
