With the Sacramento Kings creating cap space on draft night, there has been "momentum" about a pursuit of Kyle Kuzma in free agency.

Even with a new renegotiate-and-extend deal for Domantas Sabonis, the Kings could have $25 million in cap space.

The Kings nearly acquired Kuzma in 2021 before the Los Angeles Lakers pivoted to a Russell Westbrook trade.

Kuzma has also been linked with the Utah Jazz, but they acquired John Collins via trade. The Jazz now have a logjam in the frontcourt that makes them unlikely to pursue a player at Kuzma's position.
