Sun Mar 23 03:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Kings Officially Sign Rookie Center Isaac Jones to Two-Year Deal
**Sacramento, CA –** The Sacramento Kings have officially signed rookie center Isaac Jones to a standard two-year NBA contract, the team announced tonight. The move comes after Jones, 24, reached the maximum number of games allowed under his previous two-way contract.
Jones, who went undrafted out of Washington State, has impressed in his first season, averaging 3.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 31 games. His strong performance, particularly valuable with starting center Domantas Sabonis sidelined by a sprained ankle, prompted the Kings to convert his contract. The deal allows Jones to immediately rejoin the active roster and participate in the playoffs.
“This is a great opportunity for Isaac, and he’s earned it,” said a Kings spokesperson (although no official statement was released by the team at the time of publication). “His contributions this season have been significant, and we look forward to his continued growth with the team.”
The Kings had a roster opening, eliminating the need for additional roster moves to accommodate Jones. The deadline for signing two-way players has already passed, preventing them from adding another player to replace Jones on the two-way contract. With Sabonis expected to miss at least another week, Jones’s inside presence is crucial for the Kings’ playoff push.
While the article’s claim that this move instantly makes the Kings a “championship-caliber team” is subjective and hyperbolic, the signing undoubtedly bolsters their depth and provides a much-needed boost to their frontcourt.
