American reporter: The Kings have shown interest in young Potter and Vincent.

According to a joint report by Marc Stein and Jack Fisher, the Sacramento Kings have expressed interest in Kevin Porter Jr. They are considering him as an alternative to Ben Simmons' torn right Achilles tendon.

The 26-year-old Porter Jr. is a 6'6" (1.96m) and 92kg (4.5kg) swingman who entered the NBA in 2019 as the 30th overall pick in the first round. He has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Milwaukee Bucks, accumulating 309 regular season games. He averaged 14.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.2 steals in 28.1 minutes per game, with a field goal percentage of 43.9% and a three-point percentage of 34.8%.

After being waived by the Bucks this offseason, Porter Jr. officially became a free agent. He is currently unemployed and has been linked with several teams, including the Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat, and Denver Nuggets.

Besides Michael Porter Jr., the Kings are also interested in 30-year-old free agent Gabe Vincent. An undrafted free agent in 2018, Vincent has played for the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, and Atlanta Hawks. So far this regular season, he has appeared in 331 games, averaging 6.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 20.3 minutes per game, with a 39.2% field goal percentage and a 33.8% three-point percentage.
