根據記者Shams Charania報導，國王隊將與Skal Labissiere簽下一年部分保障合約，Labissiere過去就是透過國王隊選進聯盟當中，但只打了不到三季就被交易到拓荒者隊。

Skal Labissiere has agreed to a partially guaranteed one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings, his agent Daniel Hazan of Hazan Sports Management told @TheAthletic @Stadium. Labissiere returns to franchise that selected him in first round in 2016 and where he played for 3 years.

而且Labissiere上次在NBA出賽還已經是2019年的事情，已經足足在NBA三年多沒有出賽，離開國王也超過四年，這次與NBA球隊能簽下正式合約，外界也很驚訝，過季這段期間他都在G-League、波多黎各、墨西哥打球。

據其他消息指出，Labissiere待在國王的大部分時間應該會比較多在G-League，會透過G-League管道交易進Labissiere，在與他簽下訓練營合約，有機會可以打進開季正式國王隊的大名單。

According to a league source, the Skal Labissiere move is for the Stockton Kings. Details still being worked out, but there is hope he is joining the team on an Exhibit 10 after a trade with Mexico City (G League) is finalized. @ShamsCharania first with the news.

國王隊在2016年第1輪第28順位選進國王隊，當年他場均8.8分、4.9籃板，隔年也是差不多的數據表現，但在18-19賽季就突然間被交易到托荒者隊，托荒者隊也沒有給他太多上場的時間。之後叫被交易到老鷹清薪資空間，與尼克簽下十天短約，兩天後又馬上被裁，沒有上場的機會。
