Duje Dukan: A non-factor
Dukan did not record a point (0-2 FG) and had one rebound across six minutes during his debut Wednesday with the Mad Ants.
The third-year player out of Wisconsin has primarily been a non-factor during his tenure with the Windy City Bulls and it looks likely that it will continue during his time in Fort Wayne. Dukan is averaging 3.6 points and 1.4 rebounds this season.

Duje Dukan: Traded to Fort Wayne
Dukan, as well as the returning player rights of Henry Sims, will be traded from Windy City to Fort Wayne in exchange for CJ Fair.
After a one-year stint with the Kings back in 2015, Dukan has spent time overseas and in the G-League. Most recently during the 2017-18 campaign, he's been with Windy City, where he's played in 15 games and has averaged 3.8 points and 1.4 rebounds across 12.6 minutes. He'll hope to see an uptick in his overall playing time with the change in scenery in order to show NBA teams he's worthy of a call-up.

Duje Dukan: Signs three-year deal with Croatian team
Dukan signed a three-year contract Wednesday with KK Cedevita of the Croatian A-1 League, Sportando reports.
After going undrafted out of Wisconsin last summer, Dukan improbably made the Kings' roster out of training camp and stuck with the team throughout the 2015-16 campaign. However, the Kings largely stashed him in the D-League, as he made only one appearance with the NBA team in a rather meaningless season finale. In an effort to clear up roster space for the upcoming season, the Kings waived Dukan in July, and the 24-year-old didn't distinguish himself enough in summer league play to attract much attention from NBA teams. He'll now look to boost his NBA stock in his native Croatia, where he was born before moving to the United States as an infant. His three-year deal likely includes out clauses to join the NBA if the opportunity presents itself.

Duje Dukan: Waived by Kings
Dukan was waived by the Kings on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Dukan saw action in just one game for the Kings during his rookie season, posting six points, four rebounds and an assist over 24 minutes. His value wasn't worth a roster spot for the Kings, so the 24-year-old will likely have to play in the summer league in hopes of landing a training camp invite. There's no guarantee he ends up on a regular season roster, making the D-League a high possibility.

Kings' Duje Dukan: Plays 24 minutes in first career game
Dukan dropped six points (2-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 24 minutes during the Kings' 116-81 loss to the Rockets on Wednesday.
Dukan averaged 14.6 points (40.3 FG, 37.4 3Pt, 72.2 FT), 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 threes, and 1.2 assists in 27 games with the D-League's Reno Bighorns this season before making his NBA debut for Sacramento on Wednesday. Dukan's contract is non-guaranteed in 2016-17, so he will have to work hard to keep a spot on the Kings' roster going forward.

In Thursday's matchup between the Big Horns and Los Angeles D-Fenders, Dukan contributed eight points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, and an assist in 21 minutes.

Kings' Duje Dukan: Assigned to D-League
Dukan was assigned to the D-League's Reno Big Horns on Thursday.
Dukan was with the Kings for three games during his latest stint with the team, but still failed to get off the bench, as has been the case throughout his rookie season. With the Bighorns in the midst of the D-League playoffs, Dukan will have a rare opportunity to see some minutes in a high-pressure setting, which can only be good for his development. He'll likely rejoin the Kings whenever the Bighorns are officially eliminated.

Kings' Duje Dukan: Dealing with bone contusion
Dukan is dealing with a tibial bone contusion and has been unavailable for the Kings' last four games, CSN Bay Area's James Ham reports.
The injury flew under the radar because Dukan hasn't been a part of the Kings' rotation this season, as the undrafted rookie is still waiting to make his NBA debut. Unfortunately for Dukan, the injury couldn't come at a poorer time, as the Kings are low on healthy bodies with Eric Moreland (foot) out for several weeks and Ben McLemore (back), Omri Casspi (back), and Willie Cauley-Stein (finger) all banged up. It's uncertain how long Dukan will be sidelined with his injury.
