The Sacramento Kings have signed undrafted free agent Aaron Nkrumah to an Exhibit 10 contract ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season, according to RealGM’s transaction log and Keith Smith of Spotrac.

The 24-year-old swingman joins Sacramento after completing an impressive senior season at Tennessee State, where he earned Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year honors.

Nkrumah averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.8 steals in 31.4 minutes per game across 33 appearances.

The 6-foot-6 wing led the conference in scoring and steals, establishing himself as one of its most productive players during his final collegiate campaign.

Nkrumah spent his final two college seasons with Tennessee State after beginning his career outside NCAA Division I.

Following the 2026 NBA Draft, reports suggested that he would sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Denver Nuggets. However, the agreement apparently did not materialize, allowing Sacramento to bring him into its organization.

Although Nkrumah will have an opportunity to participate in the Kings’ training camp, he is considered a likely candidate to join their G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings.

Under the terms of an Exhibit 10 agreement, he could earn a bonus of up to $91,000 if he spends at least 60 days with Stockton.

The signing also gives Sacramento an opportunity to evaluate Nkrumah’s development as he makes the transition from college basketball to the professional level.
