David Muoka is off the Sacramento Kings roster, a move detected Friday, Oct. 16, through the team's official roster. The 25-year-old center-forward, a rookie, had no NBA line last season and no report preceded the move.

The move

David Muoka leaves the Sacramento Kings roster, a move detected Friday, Oct. 16, through the team's official roster listing. He is now off the roster, with no destination club reported. The 25-year-old center-forward enters his rookie season without an NBA line from last year. No injury report preceded this transaction; none is logged for him.

The money

Muoka's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and contract length are not available. The Kings carry a payroll of $191.8 million across 13 contracts for 2026-27. That puts Sacramento over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The team sits well below the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.

The fit

Muoka has no NBA line from last season. At center and forward, Sacramento's rotation last season leaned on Domantas Sabonis, who averaged 29.7 minutes and 15.8 points, and Maxime Raynaud, who played 26.5 minutes for 12.5 points. Keegan Murray logged 34.5 minutes and 14.0 points at forward. With Muoka off the roster, the Kings carry 20 players: 15 on standard contracts and three on two-way deals.
