Mike Brown Offered $21 Million Extension By Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been evaluating his performance since the beginning of this season, which has raised areas of concern and praise; earlier reports have suggested ownership wasn’t too convinced about extending Mike Brown.

However, management has offered Brown a three-year, $21 million extension. It could grow to a total of $27 million with bonuses, but for right now, it would be sitting at $7 million a season.

It’s unknown how Brown’s desire for $10 million a year, as opposed to $7 million a year, will impact the relationship.

This breaking news featuring Mike Brown and Sacramento has been confirmed by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Doug Christie Has Legitimate Shot For Kings Head Coaching Job

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, current interim head coach Doug Christie is in a “well-positioned” spot to become the Sacramento Kings permanent head coach.

While he hasn’t been told anything or given any reassurances, when the Kings are doing their process, his name will be in the mix.

After former general manager Monte McNair and Sacramento parted ways, the Kings immediately hired Scott Perry to run their front office. With that hiring, Perry will have a say in who leads the team next season.

Christie has been with the Kings since 2021, a year before former head coach Mike Brown was hired to run this basketball team.

The former basketball player has only 51 games of coaching under his belt, which stems from this season. Christie, as an NBA player, played for Sacramento for five years. His ties to the team goes beyond being assistant/interim coach.

Domantas Sabonis (Ankle) Is Out At Least 10 Days

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the Sacramento Kings, prized big-man Domantas Sabonis will be out at least ten days due to a right ankle sprain.

The 28-year-old suffered the injury during the Memphis Grizzlies game, where fans only saw him playing 12 minutes before being out the remainder of the game.

He first went to the locker room with a laceration-related injury, but came back. However, the second time he went to the locker room, it was for his ankle and never returned.

Sabonis has missed some time this season with a previous hamstring injury, which saw Sacramento go 3-6 in his absence.

The Kings take on the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night. Sacramento currently holds the ninth seed in the Western Conference.

This season, Sabonis averages 19.2 points and 13.9 rebounds in 58 appearances.
