Princepal Singh’s journey to the NBA entered a new chapter as he has been drafted in by the Stockton Kings in the 2021 G League Draft with the fifth pick in the third round.

Stockton Kings are the G League affiliate for NBA team Sacramento Kings.

Princepal now becomes the third Indian to play in the G League after Chandigarh’s Amjyot Singh and Punjab’s Satnam Singh Bhamara, the first Indian to be drafted in the NBA.

Princepal is the second Indian to be selected in the G League Draft after Palpreet Singh Brar, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2016 Draft. He was a part of the Sacramento Kings Summer League roster this year as the team went on to be crowned champions.

Princepal is an NBA Academy India graduate and first from the academy to make it to the NBA G League. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
