Trey Lyles avoids free agency, will remain with Sacramento Kings
On the bright-side, Trey Lyles does not need to go house hunting in a new NBA city. On the other hand, he’s going to spend another year playing for the Sacramento Kings.
Ahead of NBA free agency the Kings picked up Lyles’ $2.6 million team option to keep him on the Sacramento roster for the 2022-23 season. He was a midseason addition to the Kings’ roster after they sent former top two pick Marvin Bagley to the Detroit Pistons.
