The Kings waived Jeffries on Thursday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.comreports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries signed a training camp deal with the Kings on Wednesday but is now expected to join the club's G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings, for the 2025-26 campaign. Over 47 regular-season appearances (20 starts) with Charlotte last season, he averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds across 22.8 minutes per game.

The Kings and Jeffries agreed to a deal Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending last year in Charlotte, the journeyman forward's next stop will be Sacramento. Jeffries is an option for frontcourt depth with Sacramento or perhaps a more significant role for the G League's Stockton Kings.

The Hornets waived Jeffries on Thursday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries was slated to earn $2.7 million in 2025-26, but his contract wasn't guaranteed. With the Hornets adding a handful of rookies to the mix, as well as some veterans such as Collin Sexton and Spencer Dinwiddie, Jeffries became expendable. Charlotte's roster now stands at 20 players, with training camp looming.

Jeffries ended Sunday's 93-86 loss to the Celtics with 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries provided a lift from deep in Sunday's regular-season finale, connecting on a team-high trio of threes while finishing as one of five Hornets with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Jeffries reached double figures in scoring in 10 outings this season while connecting on three or more threes on eight occasions overall.

Jeffries is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries will push Seth Curry to the bench against Memphis on Tuesday. Over his last 11 outings in the first unit, Jeffries has averaged 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 blocks, 0.6 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes while shooting 43.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Jeffries won't start Sunday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries started 14 of Charlotte's past 17 games, but he'll operate off the bench Sunday, giving way to Josh Okogie. As a reserve this season (26 games), Jeffries has averaged 5.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals-plus-blocks in 18.0 minutes.

Jeffries will start in Friday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old forward will return to the starting five due to Josh Green (shoulder) being sidelined. Jeffries has averaged 11.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 29.0 minutes per game in his last 10 starts.

Jeffries won't start in Monday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Seth Curry (knee) will receive the starting nod in his return to game action, pushing Jeffries to the bench. Over 16 appearances (13 starts) this month, the 27-year-old forward has averaged 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 26.3 minutes per contest.

Jeffries ended with 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 108-97 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries turned in arguably his best two-way performance of the season, continuing his recent run of form. With the Hornets positioned firmly toward the bottom of the standings, Jeffries should be a permanent fixture in the rotation for the remainder of the campaign. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes per game.

Jeffries racked up 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 134-102 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Jeffries tied the team-high mark in points during an efficient outing Tuesday. Additionally, the 27-year-old recorded his second-highest scoring output on season, marking his fifth game with double-digit points. Jeffries has carved out a significant role in Charlotte's rotation this season, and he has started in seven of the club's last eight outings. The fifth-year forward has scored at least 13 points in three of those eight games.
