Kings waive Filip Petrusev

The Sacramento Kings are set to release Filip Petrusev, the towering player in their lineup. Following this, they plan to maintain an empty 15th roster spot for the time being.

Petrusev is anticipated to ink a deal with Olympiacos, a team in the EuroLeague, confirming speculations that surfaced last week.

Petrusev, hailing from Serbia and playing as a forward/center, entered the scene as the 50th pick in the 2021 draft.

After spending a couple of years honing his skills overseas, he signed a two-year minimum salary contract with the Sixers this season.

However, he found himself in Sacramento through a series of trades involving the Clippers and the James Harden deal, with cash changing hands swiftly.
