Dennis Schröder, the well-traveled NBA veteran known for his speed, playmaking, and scoring ability, has officially signed with the Sacramento Kings, making it the tenth different NBA team of his professional career. The signing was confirmed early Wednesday by league sources and represents another chapter in Schröder’s ongoing quest to find a long-term fit in the league.
At 31 years old, Schröder’s journey through the NBA has been marked by a series of stops across franchises looking for a dynamic guard capable of providing instant offense off the bench or even starting when needed. His new contract with the Kings reunites him with a team eager to add depth and veteran leadership to a young, promising roster.
Schröder was originally drafted in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, where he spent his formative years developing into one of the league’s fastest and most crafty point guards. Since then, his career has taken him through a whirlwind of destinations including Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets, and others.
Despite the constant movement, Schröder has consistently produced solid numbers — averaging approximately 14 points and 5 assists per game over his career — and has been praised for his ability to create offense in pick-and-roll situations and push the tempo in transition. His quickness and ball-handling skills allow him to penetrate defenses and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
The Sacramento Kings, fresh off a season where they narrowly missed the playoffs despite strong performances from stars like De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, see Schröder as a valuable addition to bolster their backcourt depth. With Fox sometimes dealing with injuries and Sabonis primarily playing as a big man, the Kings need a reliable guard who can handle the ball, facilitate the offense, and contribute scoring in critical moments.
The move also gives Schröder a chance to carve out a meaningful role on a team that appears to be on the rise. Sacramento’s blend of youth and experience, combined with a passionate fan base eager for postseason success, offers Schröder an opportunity to showcase his skills in a competitive environment.
