Sacramento Kings’ fans will have to wait a bit to see their first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Providence’s Devin Carter, suit up in royal purple.
According to FOX 40’s Sean Cunningham, Carter will not participate in Summer League due to a left shoulder strain.
The Sacramento Kings are continuing the medical evaluation of Devin Carter’s left shoulder and as result, he will be held out of Summer League, according to league sources. He experienced the set-back during a pre-draft workout.

Sactown Sports confirmed with Cunningham that Carter will miss the 2024 California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League tournaments.
As a 22-year-old versatile impact player, Devin Carter could have performed well in those opportunities, but the preseason will have to serve its purpose for the rookie.
