Saagar Sarin will be the new general manager of the Stockton Kings, Sacramento’s NBA G League affiliate announced in a press release.

Saarin is currently Sacramento’s senior director of pro personnel, an expansive scouting role, and he will continue in that job on top of being Stockton’s GM.

A California native, Saarin got his NBA start with Houston, spending three years with the Rockets (from 2016-19) prior to a two-year stint with Minnesota (2019-21). The 31-year-old has been with the Kings for the last five years.

Saarin, whose educational background is in business, statistics and analytics, will take over a G League club that has had a lot of success in recent years. Stockton won the NBAGL championship in 2025 and lost in the 2026 finals last month.
