Waiver effective in Sacramento
The Sacramento Kings have waived Trhae Mitchell effective October 7. The move is already listed as effective: it is an official roster exit, not a pending negotiation, and the wing leaves the first team ahead of the 2026/27 NBA season.
The transaction is listed in NBA.com oficial and was detailed by RealGM, which describes it as a sign-and-waive on an Exhibit 10 deal aimed at the affiliate. Hoops Rumors placed the cut in the same sequence and noted that Stockton had previously acquired his G League rights. None of the references published a guaranteed salary, contract length or clauses.
Trhae Mitchell profile and fit
Mitchell is a 6-foot-6 perimeter player listed as a guard in the official log and described as a wing by RealGM. He joined Sacramento preseason for a camp spot and has built his recent career in the G League. Last season he appeared in 48 games for Birmingham Squadron, averaging 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds.
The Exhibit 10 fits as a development route: a preseason stint with the main roster before continuing with the affiliate, without taking a standard roster spot. He is a camp wing rotation profile, not a trade or an extension.
What it means for the roster
For Sacramento, the immediate effect is to keep trimming the roster before the season starts. With this exit, Mitchell becomes a free agent while his next step inside the Kings ecosystem is defined.
The natural destination is the Stockton Kings, the G League affiliate, where he could spend the season after the prior rights move. The cut alone does not change the competitive core, but it frees a camp spot late in preseason.
