Peja Stojakovic expected to resign as Kings' assistant GM

Assistant general manager Peja Stojakovic will likely be the next executive to leave the Kings‘ front office, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Sources tell Charania that Stojakovic is expected to resign his position, following Friday’s announcement that GM Vlade Divac is parting ways with the franchise.

A former star player with Sacramento, Stojakovic was hired as director of player personnel and development in 2015. Three years later, he was promoted to his current role as assistant GM, which also involves running the team’s G League affiliate in Stockton.

The Kings could be looking at a full front-office makeover once Divac and Stojakovic are officially gone. Former Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars, who was serving as a special advisor, will be running the franchise until a new GM is hired.
