In probably very related news, today is the deadline for players to be released from their contracts in order to sign with other teams and be eligible for the playoffs. When Brooks signed this summer, he was reported as having left bigger money on the table because he felt the Kings were closer to competing. Currently at 20-39, Sacramento is closer to the bottom of the league than the middle, let alone the top.

Brooks ended up playing 46 games for Sacramento, averaging 8.0 PPG, .459 FG%, .378 3P%, 2.3 APG, and 1.7 RPG in 20.8 MPG.

We'll update this story with more information as it comes in.

UPDATE 2:24 P.M.:

The release seems to be mutual, as I expected.
