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.
