The Sacramento Kings have signed Quincy Miller to a second 10-day contract, the team announced Friday.

Miller will be eligible to play in Friday's contest against the Cavaliers.

Miller signed his first 10-day contract on January 17 after averaging a NBA D-League-leading 26.3 points (.522 FG%, .356 3pt%, .895 FT%), 7.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and league-best 3.7 blocks in 14 games for the Reno Bighorns, Sacramento’s NBA D-League affiliate. Upon joining the Kings, Miller saw action in two contests, totaling 14 points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 40 minutes off the bench.

The Sacramento Kings will sign Quincy Miller to a second 10-day contract.

Miller was leading the NBA Development League with 26.3 points 3.7 blocks per game when the Kings signed him to his first 10-day contract Jan. 17.

Miller played 34 minutes with 13 points, six rebounds, two steals and two blocks in Friday’s loss at Golden State.

The Sacramento Kings have reached agreement to sign a 10-day contract with Quincy Miller out of their NBA D-League affiliate in Reno, league sources told RealGM on Saturday.

Miller, who starred in scoring 35 points in Reno's showcase game on Friday, is working to join the Kings for their home game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.

After being waived by the Denver Nuggets out of training camp in October, Miller elected to sign in the D-League over overseas offers. Despite the unique, fast-paced and offensively driven system that Reno runs, Miller had remained confident in his ability to return to the league and had strong ties within the Sacramento organization.

Miller also had meetings scheduled at the D-League Showcase with the Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.

The Sacramento Kings are attempting to improve their frontcourt beside DeMarcus Cousins and are willing to include Nik Stauskas in trade scenarios.

Stauskas has received limited playing opportunities behind Ben McLemore on the depth chart.

The Kings are looking for a stretch-four or an above the rim defender.

Stauskas was the eighth overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

The Kings have the expiring contracts of Derrick Williams and Reggie Evans to include in such a deal, pushing the potential salary of an incoming player into the $10-$11 million range. 

The Kings also traded a lottery pick in his rookie season in 2013 when they sent Thomas Robinson to the Houston Rockets.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings have discussed a trade that would send Sessions to Los Angeles for Jordan Farmar.

Sessions has missed the last 10 games because of a low back strain.

Farmar is a career 37.4 percent shooter from three-point range, which would appeal to the Kings’desire for more perimeter shooters.

DeMarcus Cousins is one of the NBA's most talented big men, but he's developed a reputation for being unable to control his emotions.

“There’s been a lot of ups and downs throughout my career and all I can do is stay as positive as possible,” Cousins said. “There’s light at the end of the tunnel. That’s the biggest thing you can look forward to. That’s what I tell myself all the time, ‘It’s not as bad as it was before.’ I’m in a better place than I was before.

“The whole reputation thing, I’m over. People can think what they want to think. The only people who really matter are the guys on the team. It’s easy to kick somebody when they’re down, and I feel like that was the case [with me].”

Eric Moreland underwent successful surgery Saturday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, the Sacramento Kings announced.

Moreland will begin rehabilitation immediately and should be ready for NBA Summer League play.

The 6-10 forward totaled two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound in two minutes off the bench in three games with the Kings this season. He averaged 13.7 points (.592 FG%), 12.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in seven contests with the Reno Bighorns.

As an intriguing prospect in Europe, the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz are keeping tabs on undrafted Iowa State guard DeAndre Kane, league sources told RealGM.

Kane, a rookie, has averaged 14 points, 5.7 rebounds and five assists in the EuroChallenge for Antwerp in Belgium. Although his deal with the club is expected to run through the remainder of the NBA’s regular season, Kane will likely be a free-agent workout candidate and summer league participant for those NBA teams interested.

In his senior season at Iowa State, Kane played 36 games while averaging 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists. He led the university to the Sweet Sixteen and emerged as a player invited to last May’s draft combine in Chicago.

After going unselected in the draft, the 6-foot-4 Kane played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the July summer league, where he averaged 5.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 19.7 minutes per game.
