Sanders to play for Kings in NBA Summer League

Patrick Sanders, who led UC Irvine in scoring as a senior this past season, is on the Sacramento Kings’ roster for the NBA Summer League that starts this weekend in Las Vegas.

The 6-foot-6 Sanders is one of 17 players on the roster. The team practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in Sacramento before leaving for Las Vegas. Sacramento plays the first of its five games Saturday against Toronto at 1 p.m. at Cox Pavilion. All five games will be webcast on NBA.com and three games will also be televised on NBA TV.

Sanders averaged 15.1 points for the Anteaters and was named first-team All-Big West Conference in 2007-08.
