Kings hire former Knicks GM hours after firing Monte McNair |

17/04/2025 18:33 -

The Sacramento Kings are hiring Scott Perry as the organization’s newest general manager after agreeing to mutually part ways with Monte McNair late on Wednesday night, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

McNair was fired by the Kings immediately following the team’s play-in tournament loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Not even 24 hours later, Perry replaces him as owner Vivek Ranadive looks to keep his team in a position to compete in the Western Conference.

After making a decision to fire McNair, Perry was immediately named a serious candidate to replace him in Sacramento, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.

Perry, who is a well-respected executive around the NBA, rejoins a Kings franchise where he served as the team’s vice president of basketball operations. He was hired to become the general manager of the New York Knicks just three months into his position with Sacramento.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
