Skal Labissiere News: Let Go By Sacramento

Labissiere Seeks New Team after Kings Release

The Sacramento Kings have parted ways with forward Skal Labissiere. The 6'11", 235-pound big man was acquired by the Kings in a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers in February 2021. Labissiere averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 47 games with the Kings last season. He started 10 games and played a key role in the team's playoff run.

Reasons for Release

The Kings decided to release Labissiere to make room for other players on the roster. The team recently signed free agent forward Moe Harkless and traded for center Damian Jones.

Labissiere's Future

Labissiere will now become a free agent and will be able to sign with any team. He is expected to draw interest from several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors.

Labissiere's Impact

Labissiere was a solid contributor for the Kings last season. He provided energy and athleticism off the bench, and he was a good defender. He will be missed by the Kings, but the team believes that they have upgraded their roster with the additions of Harkless and Jones.
