Despite signing a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings last week, Sim Bhullar has yet to play in an NBA game. Bhullar is the first NBA player of Indian descent and although his signing was historic, actually getting some playing time would be even more monumental.
But with the Kings taking on the Timberwolves tonight, George Karl said pregame that he would actually find some playing time for Bhullar.

With so little time left in the game, Bhullar didn't actually do much except inbound a pass but it was the start of his NBA career and a historic moment for the league.
