Sim Bhullar has created history by becoming the NBA's first player of Indian descent.

He signed a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings, the team announced, a media report said on Friday.

The 7.5 feet tall, 360-pound Bhullar was called up from the team's NBA Development League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns.

Bhullar, 22, could make his debut on Friday when the Kings host the New Orleans Pelicans. He was born in Toronto to Indian-born parents and played two seasons for New Mexico State.

Bhullar was undrafted last year and he joined the Kings in training camp before signing with Reno. He is averaging 10.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.8 blocks in the Bighorns' fast-paced system.
