Leaky Black is now on the Sacramento Kings roster, arriving from free agency with no prior club. The move was detected Friday, September 25, through the official roster.
The move
Leaky Black, 27, joins the Sacramento Kings roster out of free agency, having been on no roster before the move. The transaction was detected Friday, September 25, through the official roster rather than through a prior report. No report logged the move ahead of time, so there is no preceding source or confidence level to cite. Black enters his third season, with two years of NBA experience so far, and is listed at forward for Sacramento.
The money
Black's contract terms are not on file yet, since public salary data can lag a signing by a day. Sacramento's payroll stands at $191.8 million across 13 contracts for 2026-27, putting the club over the salary cap of $165.0 million but under the luxury tax line of $200.4 million. The first apron sits at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million, with the Kings below both.
The fit
Last season, Black played 15 games at 28.9 minutes, averaging 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He joins a Kings roster whose returning rotation at forward and beyond includes Keegan Murray (34.5 minutes, 14.0 points), Domantas Sabonis (29.7 minutes, 15.8 points) and Maxime Raynaud (26.5 minutes, 12.5 points), among others in the backcourt mix. Sacramento now carries 20 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
