After just one season away, Ben McLemore is returning to the Kings.

Sacramento swung a deal for McLemore, who it drafted seventh overall in 2013, with the Grizzlies for guard Garrett Temple. Memphis also received Deyonta Davis and cash in the deal, ESPN.com reported.

McLemore, 25, averaged 9.4 points per game in four seasons with Sacramento to begin his career before spending a tumultuous 2017-18 season with Memphis, which included a stint in the G League. He averaged 7.5 points per game in 56 games (17 starts) with the Grizzlies.

Temple, 32, will be playing for his seventh team if he suits up for the Grizzlies. The former undrafted free agent averaged a career-best 8.4 points per game for Sacramento last season.
