The Sacramento Kings announced Thursday that rookie Devin Carter underwent left shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum. A medical update will be provided on the 22-year-old guard in approximately six months, the statement said.
Carter, who spent the last two years at Providence College after transferring from South Carolina, was drafted 13th overall in the 2024 NBA draft. He averaged 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists this past season, earning Big East Player of the Year honors.
The Kings recently acquired free agent guard DeMar DeRozan in a three-team sign-and-trade with the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs. Sacramento traded away forward Harrison Barnes and an unprotected 2031 pick swap to the Spurs. Chicago received Chris Duarte, two second-round draft picks and cash considerations from the Kings.
