The Sacramento Kings are confident they are on the same page with Buddy Hield. 

“I’ve talked with Buddy as well as his agent, and I think we’re all on the same page, and I think we’re really excited to see Buddy kind of let free in this system. I think he’s going to be fantastic,” Monte McNair said.

Hield signed a four-year, $86 million contract extension before the 19-20 season, but was demoted by Luke Walton to a backup role in favor of Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Kings chose not to match an offer sheet Bogdanovic signed with the Atlanta Hawks.

“I think I’ve said in the past Buddy’s such an incredible talent and especially his shooting at an elite level is something that we saw this offseason was at a premium,” McNair said. “I think we’re really excited to see him in this system and obviously with coach Walton as well as Alvin and Rex and the system they’re going to implement, I think Buddy’s going to look really good in it. I’m excited to see him in training camp and how he can progress there. I think I have the utmost confidence Buddy will continue to play hard every night as he always has.”

Jared Dudley has agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Stephen Curry has partnered with Under Armour to create the Curry Brand, which will launch on Dec. 1 and feature footwear, apparel and accessories.

The Curry Brand will be dedicated to giving back to the community with a commitment to invest a percentage of Curry Brand revenue in under-resourced communities. According to Under Armour, these are the initial goals of the brand: “by 2025, the Curry Brand aims to create at least 20 safe places to play, support 125 programs that impact young athletes, and deliver opportunities to train more than 15,000 coaches — making an overall impact on more than 100,000 youth.”

“We have a shared goal of unlocking play for kids, so that became a natural place for us to focus,” Curry said in the announcement. “I grew up doing a lot of things to give back to the community with my family — and continue that now — while Under Armour has done so much to support athletes around the world.

“Curry Brand is all about doing good in everything that we do,” Curry continued. “I’ve tried to embody that in my own actions, and I think it’s also something that other people can really get behind no matter where they are in life or what their goals are, sports or otherwise. We all have the ability to impact the next person and to give back in some way, and that’s more important now than ever before.”
