The Sacramento Kings voided the contract of forward Luc Mbah a Moute on Thursday after he failed a team physical.
The announcement by the Kings came two days after Mbah a Moute signed a one-year deal as a free agent. The team had hoped he could add depth and defense to the second unit.
Instead, Mbah a Moute is looking for another landing spot - and the Kings are searching for a replacement.
The 28-year-old Mbah a Moute was born in Cameroon and played at UCLA. Milwaukee drafted him with the 37th overall pick in 2008.
Mbah a Moute averaged a career-high 9.9 points to go with 4.9 rebounds with Philadelphia last season. He has averaged 6.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in seven NBA seasons.
The thought occurs that since he's failed one team's physical, landing another contract anytime soon might be easier said than done. On the other hand, if there's still mutual interest, and the Kings don't feel that there are too many other satisfactory options readily available, I would assume that he could simply take another physical and sign a new contract at some point...unless there's something in the CBA preventing that.
