The Sacramento Kings are interested in restricted free agent Jabari Parker, sources told NBC Sports California's James Ham.

Parker is an intriguing free agent based on both his skill set and injury history. Stories of discord between him and the Milwaukee Bucks have flown for months, but the team is expected to extend him a qualifying offer by June 30.

If the Kings are interested in Parker, they would then need to sign him to an offer sheet, which the Bucks can match. Given his injury history, teams are unlikely to break the bank for him.

When healthy, the No. 2 pick in the 2014 draft is a solid weapon, able to play both forward positions. He shot a career-high 38.3 percent from deep last season, albeit in only 31 games.
