The second-year point guard has shown flashes of the athleticism that made him a first-round pick despite limited minutes in Sacramento. With the Kings trailing late in the fourth quarter at Capital One Arena, Carter seized his moment when DeMar DeRozan found him streaking down court in transition.

Carter finished with 4 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. · Feb 1, 2026
