The Kings are not involved in any trade talks regarding Harrison Barnes, James Ham of The Kings Beat tweets.
Barnes is averaging 11.6 points, his lowest output since the 2014/15 season, when he produced 10.1 points per game for Golden State. Barnes has started all 14 games this season, averaging 30.9 minutes, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
A report this week stated the Suns, who are looking to deal Jae Crowder, were interested in Barnes. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
We have more from the Pacific Division:
- Clippers forward Paul George exited the team’s game against San Antonio early due to knee soreness but it shouldn’t cause him to miss any games, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports. George told owner Steve Ballmer he was “OK” on his way to the locker room after Saturday’s win. George is listed as questionable to play Monday against Utah.
- Chris Paul sat out again on Sunday and the Suns point guard will be re-evaluated during the coming week, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports tweets. Paul hasn’t played since Nov. 7 due to a heel injury.
- The Suns’ final offer to Cameron Johnson regarding a rookie scale extension was for four years in the range of $66M, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Phoenix refused to go higher to sign Johnson, who is currently sidelined for 1-2 months after undergoing surgery to remove part of his right meniscus. A previous report stated the offer was for $66-72M. He’ll be a restricted free agent after the season.
