Papagiannis was assigned to the D-League's Reno Bighorns on Friday, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.

Papagiannis has appeared in three of the Kings' last five games, but has received no more than eight minutes in any of those contests. Heading to Reno will provide the rookie center with an opportunity to see more substantive court time, which the 19-year-old desperately needs. Don't expect him to make a noticeable impact at the NBA level over the Kings' final six weeks of games.
