Trhae Mitchell is no longer on the Sacramento Kings' roster, a move detected from the team's official roster on Thursday, Oct. 8. The 29-year-old guard, a rookie by NBA service time, had no report logged ahead of the move and no NBA line last season.

The move

Mitchell, a 29-year-old guard, leaves the Sacramento Kings' roster, a move detected from the team's official roster on Thursday, Oct. 8. No report preceded it: there is no logged item from any outlet flagging this move in advance, and no confidence grade to attach to it. It is not announced where Mitchell goes next. He is a rookie by NBA experience, with no prior NBA line on record.

The money

Mitchell's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a move by a day, so his cap figure and any years are not announced. The Kings carry $191.8 million across 13 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. That leaves Sacramento below the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.

The fit

Mitchell had no NBA line last season. Sacramento's backcourt minutes last season went mostly to Zach LaVine (31.4 minutes, 19.2 points), DeMar DeRozan (31.2 minutes, 18.4 points), Russell Westbrook (28.9 minutes, 15.2 points) and Dennis Schroder (26.4 minutes, 12.8 points), with Daeqwon Plowden also logging 26.4 minutes and 10.8 points. The Kings' roster now stands at 19 players: 15 on standard deals plus three on two-way contracts.
