Free agent forward Royce White, who has yet to play in the NBA despite being drafted No. 16 overall by the Houston Rockets in 2012, is expected to sign a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings, according to a report from Sam Amick of USA Today. 

The 22-year-old out of Iowa State has been battling a chronic anxiety disorder that includes a fear of flying. Because of the condition, White has been on the rosters for the Rockets and the Philadelphia 76ers but has yet to appear in a regular season game. Most recently, he played for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets' NBDL affiliate.
