7-foot-5 center Sim Bhullar signs camp deal with Kings

The Kings signed New Mexico State center Sim Bhullar today, making him the first player of Indian descent under contract to an NBA team.

Bhullar, a 7-foot-5, 360-pound center, was on the Kings team that won the summer league title last month in Las Vegas, but he played sparingly.

He will compete in training camp for a spot backing up starting center DeMarcus Cousins but more likely will play for the team’s NBA Development League affiliate in Reno.
