O Sacramento Kings vai manter Nique Clifford além desta temporada, exercendo a opção de 2027/28, anunciou o gerente-geral Scott Perry nesta segunda-feira.
Os US$ 3,26 milhões de Clifford nesta temporada já estavam garantidos; a opção trava US$ 3,42 milhões para a próxima.
Para escolhê-lo na 24ª posição em 2025, Sacramento entrou na primeira rodada, enviando ao Oklahoma City uma escolha de primeira rodada de 2027 vinda do San Antonio, com proteção de top 16.
Ele passou cinco temporadas universitárias em Colorado e Colorado State e então teve médias de 8,6 pontos, 3,8 rebotes, 2,4 assistências e 0,9 roubo em 75 jogos de novato, com 41,8%/33,3%/72,2% de aproveitamento, jogando 25,1 minutos por noite.
Aos 24 anos, ele fez parte da rotação de Doug Christie na temporada passada, mas esta começou mal: 17 minutos na estreia, dois contra o Portland na sexta e nenhum na derrota para o Memphis no domingo. Os Kings estão em 0-3 depois de uma campanha de 22-60.
