Rookie Carter Set for NBA Debut Against Warriors Under Father’s Guidance

Rookie guard Devin Carter, the No. 13 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, is set to make his season debut for the Sacramento Kings tonight against the Golden State Warriors. The 22-year-old, who underwent left shoulder surgery in July, has been cleared to play after rehabilitating and participating in two games with the Kings’ G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings.

Carter’s debut comes under unique circumstances, as his father, Anthony Carter, serves as an assistant coach for the Kings. Anthony Carter, a 13-year NBA veteran, has been coaching in the league since 2013.
