The Kings announced Friday that guard Jordan Ford's training camp contract has been converted to a two-way deal.
Ford, 25 and a native of Folsom, Calif., signed a training camp deal with Sacramento on Wednesday, but now gets an improved shot at playing for his hometown team.
The Kings still are in search of a third point guard for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season following Matthew Dellavedova's exit to Melbourne United in Australia earlier this offseason.
Ford averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 26.1 minutes per game last season with the Stockton Kings, Sacramento's G-League affiliate. His shot an impressive 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 81 percent from the free-throw line.
He also played for the Kings' 2023 summer league team, averaging 16.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals in four games, all starts.
Ford fills in the third and final two-way slot the Kings had after they waived center Neemias Queta on Tuesday.
The other two two-way players are second-year guard Keon Ellis and rookie wing Jalen Slawson.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
