The Sacramento Kings have decided to move on from guard Nique Clifford, according to a report from Last Word on Sports published on November 11, 2026. The decision marks the end of Clifford's stint with the franchise after he appeared in preseason action with the team.
Clifford, who wore number 10, was seen warming up before a game against the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center earlier in the season. The Kings' roster move comes as the organization continues to shape its backcourt rotation for the 2026-27 NBA campaign.
No further details regarding the nature of the separation — whether a waiver, trade, or contract termination — were immediately disclosed. Clifford's future destination remains unclear as he enters the league's transaction wire.
