Kings exercise third-year option on Devin Carter

The Kings have exercised their third-year option on guard Devin Carter, according to a team press release.

Carter’s third-year salary will carry a cap hit of $5,158,080. Sacramento had until the end of the month to exercise its option on Carter.

Selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Carter appeared in 36 games with the Kings during the 2024/25 season. He averaged 3.8points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11 minutes per game. The Providence product missed a chunk of the season after undergoing left shoulder surgery in July 2024.

Carter was reportedly part of the packages offered by the Kings in their failed attempts to acquire Jonathan Kuminga from Golden State this summer.
