The Sacramento Kings have made the decision to exercise Kessler Edwards' $1.9 million team option for the 2023-2024 season. Edwards, who joined the Kings in a mid-season trade from the Brooklyn Nets, made a solid contribution during his time with Sacramento.
In his 22 appearances for the Kings last season, Edwards averaged 3.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in just under 14 minutes per game. While his numbers may not have been eye-popping, Edwards played an important role for the team, particularly in the final stretch of the regular season. He saw increased playing time, logging 18 or more minutes in 10 of the Kings' last 17 games.
With the decision to pick up Edwards' team option, the Kings are showing confidence in his potential and value to the team. While he may remain towards the end of the rotation, Edwards has the opportunity to continue developing his skills and making an impact when called upon.
As the Kings prepare for the upcoming season, keeping Edwards onboard provides depth and versatility to their roster. Fans will be eager to see how Edwards progresses and contributes to the team's success in the 2023-2024 campaign.
