As far as any other Kings entertaining the possibility of participating, you can count Jason Thompson out. His publicist told Cowbell Kingdom that the power forward has no plans of playing in the Impact CTS. SI’s Sam Amick expressed similar sentiment that non-Impact players would take part in the Las Vegas based-contests.
The confirmed rosters are expected to be released tomorrow on Impact Basketball’s website.
