Cook worked out for the Kings back in July in Vegas, and impressed enough to land himself a one-year contract.  

Cook is a 29-year-old veteran of five NBA seasons. He won a title as a member of the 2017-18 Golden State Warriors, and the Bubble-2020 Los Angeles Lakers. He last suited up in the NBA in the 2020-21 season, when he signed back-to-back 10-day contracts with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 6.1 points and 1.9 assists in only 13 minutes per game in his seven contests with the Cavs.

Overall, in 186 NBA games over five seasons, he has averaged 6.4 points and 1.6 assists in about 14 minutes per game.

He'll try to win a spot on the Kings' 15-man roster, to serve as a third point guard behind starter De’Aaron Fox and defensive specialist Davion Mitchell.
