Mike Brown Signs 3-Year Extension With Kings

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sacramento Kings have extended head coach Mike Brown to a new three-year deal.

Earlier reports suggested contract talks stalled, with money being a huge factor. However, both sides were able to come to a compromise that still allowed Brown to be paid a pretty penny but not at the $10 million he wanted.

Originally, Sacramento offered Brown $7 million a season; the 54-year-old wanted $10 million a season, as he thought himself a coach who deserved a big pay raise for what he had done to the organization. In the end, both sides agreed to $8.5 million a season.

The official deal will run through the 2026-27 season, with him earning $30 million over the next three years. Mike Brown was entering the final guaranteed year of his contract.

Malik Monk (Ankle) Out At Least Two Weeks

According to the Sacramento Kings, Malik Monk has suffered a sprained ankle and will be out for at least the next two weeks.

There is good news in all of this, as there was no structure damage, per the X-rays. Plus, it’s only a moderate, not a severe, ankle sprain.

With this new injury, Monk will miss Sacramento’s upcoming seven games. This is assuming he’s only out for two weeks.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns. Monk stepped on the foot of Mason Plumlee, which saw him noticeably limping and head straight to the locker room. He did not return in their overtime win against Phoenix.

In ten games this season, Monk is averaging 12.6 points off 44.2% from the field, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 25.0 minutes.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Doug McDermott to a one-year deal. The money was never made public.

This roster move comes after Tuesday’s trade getting rid of Jalen McDaniels to clear salary and for roster flexibility.

McDermott, who is 32 years old, played for the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers last season. With Indiana, he averaged 4.2 points in 11.3 minutes. With San Antonio, he averaged 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 15.2 minutes.
