Vezenkov informed the Kings that he does not want to return for the second year of his contract!

With the EuroLeague MVP title accompanying him in the 2022/23 season, o Sasha Vezenkov made the decision last summer to leave him Olympic and Europe, trying his luck and skills in the magical world of the NBA.

The rookie season of the 28-year-old forward in the Sacramento Kings he did not develop exactly as he himself expected, as he never found an essential role in the rotation of the “Kings”, who were left out of the playoffs, counting only 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 37.5% from three in 42 games of the regular season in 12.2 minutes of participation on average.

Given that from the acclaim and the leading role he had in the Euroleague, he found himself far behind in the NBA, the Bulgarian international seems that he informed the Kings that he did not want to return to Sacramento for a second year of his contract, which foresees to collect the amount of 6.6 million dollars.

Let us recall that Vezenkov had signed three-year contract partnership with Mike Brown’s team for the total amount of 20 million dollarswith the third year however not guaranteed.

Now, the future of the former Olympiakos ace is up in the air because, the Kings will either trade him, in fact, at the time when the NBA draft is approaching and trades are usually made that night, with the result that Sasha will continue to pursue his dream in the NBA, or he will turn to… the repatriation of Europe!

In the second case, if and as long as the player remains free, it is a given that the “red and white” will vigorously enter the claim of Sasha, as it is no secret that the two sides maintain excellent relations after five highly successful years of their collaboration!
