Providence guard Devin Carter emerged as a standout prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft, selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 13th overall pick. His impressive shooting and elite defensive skills made him a top contender in a challenging draft class. However, Carter's debut was postponed due to an injury that necessitated surgery and an extensive rehabilitation period.
After two games in the G League, where he averaged 23 points, five assists, and ten rebounds while maintaining a shooting accuracy of 51% from the field, Carter was finally ready to make his NBA debut against the Memphis Grizzlies.
This game held special significance as Carter faced off against the team coached by his father, Anthony Carter, an assistant with the Grizzlies. In his debut, Devin played 11 minutes, contributing five rebounds and two assists, showcasing his defensive prowess. Kings Coach Doug Christie praised Carter's high competitive spirit, expressing excitement for his potential. The Kings' next challenge awaits against the Golden State Warriors.
