The Sacramento Kings have worked out forward Royce White and the former 2012 first-round pick is "likely" to sign a 10-day contract with the team, according to USA Today's Sam Amick. White has struggled adjusting to the NBA, never playing a regular season game with either the Houston Rockets or Philadelphia 76ers after he was traded.

White’s anxiety disorder has caused issues with his career in the NBA. He’s played 17 total games of organized basketball since being drafted, spending time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers during the 2012-2013 season. White averaged 11.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in the D-league. He has not played with any D-league team or NBA team since his brief stint with Rio Grande.
The Kings cannot make the deal official until they clear a roster spot. Sacramento is expected to complete a buyout of guard Jimmer Freddete soon, but the sides have not agreed to terms yet. The buyout is close to being official, however, and could be announced Wednesday, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
