Daeqwon Plowden News: Posts 16 points in first start

Plowden finished Saturday's 132-126 loss to the Cavaliers with 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes.

Plowden recently rejoined the parent club after another stint with the Kings' Stockton affiliate in the G League. The move appears to be Sacramento's first acknowledgment of a lost season and a willingness to take stock of its younger players. The Bowling Green product has bounced among several different teams since going undrafted in 2022, but he's developed his skills in G League competition and landed with a squad that's building a youthful core alongside a solid group of veterans.
