Former All-ACC NC State Forward TJ Warren is working out for the Sacramento Kings.

Warren is looking to find a new NBA home as he approaches his 10th NBA season. Last year, TJ played in only 11 games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 3.7 points in 11.4 minutes per game. In 2022-23, Warren played in 42 games split between Brooklyn and Phoenix, averaging 7.5 points in 16.4 minutes per game. Prior to that, TJ missed the entire 2021-22 due to a foot injury, which also caused him to miss all but 4 games of the 2020-21 season.

It’s been a rough couple of years for the former ACC Player of the Year (2014), but prior to that, Warren had been a starter in the NBA for 5 straight seasons, averaging 14+ points per game in each of those seasons.

As a Sophomore at NC State, Warren averaged 24.9 points per game, while shooting 52.5% from the field, leading the ACC in both categories. Only three players have ever done that. Warren is 1 of 6 NC State players to win the ACC Player of the Year award.
