The Kings have signed free agent shooting guard Dexter Dennis to a non-guaranteed contract, per Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot (Twitter link). It’s an Exhibit 10 deal, confirms Keith Smith of Spotrac (Twitter link).
Dennis, 26, has spent the majority of the past two seasons in the G League after going undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2023. He was on a two-way contract with the Mavericks for the first couple months of 2023/24, but appeared in just four NBA games for Dallas and was with the Texas Legends and Cleveland Charge for most of that season.
Dennis appeared in 44 G League games as a rookie, then played 47 times in 2024/25 for the Stockton Kings, Sacramento’s affiliate. The 6’5″ guard was a key part of Stockton’s rotation, averaging 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 31.1 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .428/.350/.780. He helped lead the team to an NBAGL title in April.
In all likelihood, Dennis will only be under contract briefly with the Kings, with this deal designed to ensure he receives an Exhibit 10 bonus worth up to $85,300 if he returns to Stockton and spends at least 60 days with the team.
The Kings now have a full 21-man preseason roster. If they intend to complete their reported camp deal with forward Daniel Batcho in the coming days, Dennis or another player on a non-guaranteed contract will have to be cut.
Is Damion Baugh on the suns official roster? He was at media day for them but I haven’t seen any announcements?
Yeah, he officially signed on Sept. 19 and is listed on the roster page on their site: link to nba.com
Some teams don’t announce E10 signings even if they plan to have them in camp.
