Filipino basketball player Kevin Quiambao is not on the Sacramento Kings' roster for the NBA 2K26 Summer League, contrary to a viral social media post.

A Facebook post claiming Quiambao was added to the Kings' Summer League roster, complete with a fabricated screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) announcement, has been debunked.

The Kings unveiled their actual Summer League roster on July 6, featuring draft picks Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud, along with G-League champions Isaac Jones and Isaiah Crawford.

Quiambao, who plays for the Goyang Sono Skygunners in the Korean Basketball League, had been in Sacramento hoping to make an NBA roster.

Despite his omission from the Summer League team, his connection to player development coach and former Gilas Pilipinas captain Jimmy Alapag, who is on the Kings' coaching staff, likely fueled the rumors.

The NBA 2K26 Summer League is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, from July 10 to 20.

Quiambao is now expected to focus on his upcoming stint with Gilas Pilipinas for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup in August.
