Emmanuel Mudiay

This allows Mudiay to play with their G-League team in Iowa. Tim Connelly, Minnesota's team president, drafted Mudiay in 2015 with the 7th pick for Denver.

The Kings' search for additional depth in light of multiple players hitting the injury report due to health and safety protocols has led them to Europe. Mudiay, a lottery pick in 2015, has been playing in Lithuania this season after never panning out in the NBA. The expectation is that he'll be able to join his new teammates on Wednesday. There's no need to pick Mudiay up in any fantasy league. 

The former No. 7 overall pick in the 2015 draft, Mudiay never lived up to expectations in the NBA. He played for the Blazers' summer league team in Las Vegas earlier this month but was unable to secure an NBA contract. 

The Blazers summer league is filled with former NBA veterans such as Mudiay, Kenneth Faried, and  Michael Beasley as well as younger players with NBA experience such as Kobi Simmons, and Antonio Blakeney. Faried, Beasley, and Mudiay have all played at least 300 NBA games and are career double-figure scorers. But somewhere along the way, they lost their footing in the league and are now trying to make a comeback on this portland summer league squad.  Simmons, though, led the Blazers in scoring on Tuesday with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting (1-of-2 3-pointers) two assists, one rebound, two steals, and two blocks. Blakeney chipped in 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting (2-of-3 3-pointers) with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal. All of these veterans will surely not make Portland's roster, but they will try to impress at least one franchise into bringing them on for this upcoming season.
