Drew Eubanks Calls Kings Training Camp Most Challenging of His Seven-Year NBA Career

Sacramento Kings forward Drew Eubanks has described his first training camp with the team as the "hardest" of his seven-year NBA career. The veteran, who signed a one-year free-agent contract on July 8 after being waived by the Los Angeles Clippers, noted that coach Doug Christie’s squad has been engaged in intense two-and-a-half to three-hour practices daily, emphasizing constant competition. Eubanks, a seven-year NBA veteran who previously played four seasons under legendary coach Gregg Popovich, views the rigorous regimen positively, believing it will lead to the team being in better shape and more connected by the season's start on October 21. He is expected to contribute off the bench as a reserve behind star center Domantas Sabonis, competing for frontcourt minutes with players like Dario Šarić. Eubanks holds career averages of 5.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists.
