The Sacramento Kings unveiled rosters for the upcoming California Classic on Wednesday.

The Kings will have two teams this year as they partner with the Golden State Warriors to host an expanded dual-site California Classic. Rookie first-round draft pick Devin Carter has been ruled out for summer league as the team continues to evaluate a left shoulder injury.

One Kings team will compete against the San Antonio Spurs, Charlotte Hornets and Chinese national team Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. That team, coached by Doug Christie, will feature Keon Ellis, Colby Jones and Mason Jones.

The other Kings team will compete against the Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday at Chase Center in San Francisco. That team, coached by Will Scott, will include former Folsom High School star Jordan Ford, an unrestricted free agent who spent last season with the Kings on a two-way contract.

The Kings and Warriors will play the final game of the tournament Wednesday at Chase Center in the inaugural Battle of Nor Cal. The winner will be awarded the Mitch Richmond Trophy, named in honor of the Hall of Fame player who spent 10 of his 14 NBA seasons with the Kings and Warriors.

Christie’s coaching staff will include Lindsey Harding, Leandro Barbosa, Jimmy Alapag, Dipesh Mistry, Elijah Brown and Mate Jakab. In addition to Ellis, Colby Jones and Mason Jones, the team will feature guards Boogie Ellis (USC), Sehmus Hazer (Fenerbahce) and Melwin Pantzar (Surne Bilbao Basket); forwards Isaiah Crawford (Louisiana Tech), TJ Bickerstaff (James Madison), Lucas Dufeal (James Madison) and Isaac Jones (Washington State); and centers Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. (Baylor) and Drew Timme (Gonzaga).

Scott’s coaching staff includes Robbie Lemons, Sam Longwood, Biggie Goldman, Julian Zoa and TJ Parker. The team will include guards Adonis Arms (Texas Tech), Kenan Blackshear (Nevada), Ahmad Caver (Old Dominion), Antoine Davis (Detroit Mercy), Dane Goodwin (Notre Dame) and D’Moi Hodge (Missouri); forwards Yves Pons (Tennessee), Jay Nagle (Idaho State), Xavier Sneed (Kansas State) and Hason Ward (Iowa State); and center Fardaws Aimaq (Cal).
