The Sacramento Kings are expected to bring in Dylan Cardwell and Isaiah Stevens on two-way contracts for the 2025–26 season, according to Brenden Nunes of Sactown Sports.
Cardwell, a 6-foot-11 center from Auburn, went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft before agreeing to terms with Sacramento on June 26.
Known for his defensive presence and energy, Cardwell played five seasons at Auburn, appearing in 166 games with 41 starts. He averaged 4.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 70.9 percent from the field over his college career.
During his final season with the Tigers, he posted career highs in minutes (20.3), rebounds (5.1), and assists (1.6), starting all 38 contests.
Stevens, a 6-foot point guard, went undrafted in 2024 and initially signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Miami Heat before being waived ahead of the regular season.
He later joined the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G League, where he averaged 12.8 points, 9.3 assists, and 3.2 rebounds across 33 games while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from three.
Stevens earned a two-way deal with the Heat in December 2024, making three brief NBA appearances. Though he played just six total minutes, he recorded one steal and two rebounds.
In college, Stevens was a five-year starter at Colorado State, where he averaged 15.4 points and 5.6 assists per game while shooting 40.2 percent from deep and 85.4 percent from the free-throw line.
