The Sacramento Kings have named Peja Stojakovic assistant general manager.

In his role, Stojakovic will support Vlade Divac in front office responsibilities, including management of player development, talent evaluation and oversight of the team’s NBA G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings.

“I am thrilled to announce that Peja will serve in this expanded role,” said Divac. “His experience as a player and basketball executive combined with his ability to develop players and assess talent is a valuable asset to the Kings.”

Stojakovic assumes his role after spending the previous three seasons as an executive with the team, most recently serving as Vice President of Basketball and Team Development.
