LaVine Stays with Kings for $49M | Sacramento Kings News

Zach LaVine is staying with the Sacramento Kings for at least one more season, picking up his player option for $49 million — setting him up for unrestricted free agency next summer. After a frustrating 2023-24 season sidelined by hand surgery and limited to just 39 games, LaVine is healthy, focused, and eager to prove himself on the court. He’s even been practicing golf — though admits his wedge needs work. LaVine, no stranger to contract years with Minnesota and Chicago, believes he performs at his peak when healthy. Kings GM Scott Perry is confident in LaVine’s commitment and talent, praising their strong rapport. Meanwhile, LaVine is already hyped about the team’s new draft pick, Darius Acuff Jr., calling him a steal and NBA-ready — and even texting with him.
