Kings convert Leaky Black’s contract to a two-way deal

The Sacramento Kings converted forward Leaky Black’s contract into a two-way deal, the team announced, filling out their allotment of three two-way slots alongside Adam Flagler and Jonathan Mogbo.

Black, 27, originally signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Sacramento. Teams could unilaterally convert Exhibit 10 deals to two-way contracts until Monday, and the Kings opted to keep him in the fold after he averaged 7.7 points per game on .538 shooting across three preseason appearances.

A North Carolina product who spent five college seasons in Chapel Hill from 2018 to 2023, Black appeared in 26 games for the Hornets as a rookie in 2023-24 and 15 games for the Wizards last season. He owns career NBA averages of 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 17.5 minutes per game.

Black spent most of last season with the Capital City Go-Go in the G League, posting 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game across 38 outings, according to reports.
