Kings' Alex Karaban: Tallies 14 points in SL victory
Rotowire
Karaban finished Friday's 92-90 Summer League win over Charlotte with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds over 35 minutes.
It was a bit of an inconsistent performance from Karaban, who scored seven points in both the first and third quarters but did not score in the other two frames. He still finished tied with Jonathan Mogbo as the Kings' second-leading scorer behind Emanuel Sharp (16 points). The Kings acquired Karaban from the Cavaliers after he was selected by Cleveland with the No. 29 pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, but the UConn product's playing time in his rookie season could be limited if he's behind De'Andre Hunter (eye) and Nique Clifford (rest) on the depth chart after the preseason.

Kings' Emanuel Sharp: Leads Sacramento in scoring Friday
Rotowire
Sharp tallied 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, two rebounds, three steals and one block over 30 minutes during the Kings' 92-90 Summer League win over the Hornets on Friday.
Sharp scored 13 of his team-high 16 points in the first half, with the rookie second-rounder being one of six Kings players to score in double digits in Friday's victory. He also made his mark defensively with three steals, an area of his game that has really stood out so far in the Summer League. Zach LaVine (hand), Malik Monk (personal) and Nique Clifford (rest) are all ahead of Sharp on the Kings' depth chart, but Sharp could earn himself a consistent role in the rotation with a strong summer, training camp and preseason.

Rotowire
Karaban posted 21 points (7-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and a steal across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 82-76 Summer League loss to the Celtics.
Karaban endured a slow start to the Summer League, scoring just seven points on 3-for-15 shooting across his first three appearances. However, he bounced back admirably here and showed a glimpse of what he can do on both ends of the court after ending just two boards shy of a double-double. The 29th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and former UConn star is expected to fight for a rotation spot during training camp.

Rotowire
Sharp racked up 23 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four steals and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 115-83 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Nets.
It was the Sharp and Darius Acuff Show on Tuesday, as the rookie duo combined for 49 of Sacramento's 83 points. Sharp caught fire from deep, knocking down a game-high six three-pointers, and he was a disruptive force on the defensive end, finishing with six stocks. However, with little offensive support from the rest of the roster, the Kings were blown out for the second straight game in Las Vegas.

There were also stretches where he appeared disengaged defensively, and he finished with a game-worst minus-21 plus-minus in the blowout defeat.

Raynaud dominated the glass and consistently created second-chance opportunities for the Kings, grabbing five of his rebounds on the offensive end. He's a double-double machine when given the minutes, but his upside will remain muted as long as Domantas Sabonis is healthy and in Sacramento.

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Raynaud (rest) is available for Sunday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Raynaud is set to make his 2026 Summer League debut after sitting out Thursday's win over the Clippers. The 2025 second-rounder is coming off an impressive rookie campaign with Sacramento, averaging 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.5 minutes per game over 74 regular-season appearances (56 starts) in 2025-26.
Acuff recorded 19 points (6-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.
The No. 7 overall pick showed flashes of the dynamic shot creation and playmaking that made him a lottery selection, overcoming an inefficient shooting night by setting up teammates and making an impact on both ends of the floor. With the Kings in the early stages of a rebuild, he's in a great spot for fantasy appeal right away.
