If DeMar DeRozan is not traded by Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, he is expected to stay put in Sacramento.
DeRozan is in the second season of a three-year deal signed with the Kings in 2024. He is owed $25.7 million next season, but only $10 million is guaranteed.
Reports stated that the former Toronto Raptors all-star could be a buyout candidate, but no conversations have been had with DeRozan’s side about that, Slater adds.
DeRozan is averaging 19.2 points in 51 games for the 12-39 Kings this season.
