LaVine Stays in Sacramento | Sacramento Kings News

Zach LaVine is staying with the Sacramento Kings for another year, locking in a $49 million contract — his final season under the deal he signed in 2022. Despite the Kings’ desire to trade him to clear cap space, his hefty contract has stalled deals. LaVine, who joined the team in 2025, showed promise but struggled last season after hand surgery, playing just 39 games. With the team in rebuild mode and focused on young talent, his future role remains uncertain — but he’ll need a strong 2025-26 campaign to maximize his value before free agency.
