From a numbers standpoint, Trey Lyles didn’t have a career year in 2022-23. But from an impact standpoint, it was arguably the best stretch of his eight years in the NBA so far. And for that, he’s being rewarded with a multi-year contract.
On Friday afternoon, soon after NBA free agency began at 6:00 p.m. EST, it was reported by multiple outlets that Lyles has agreed to a two-year, $16 million (plus potential bonuses) contract to return to the Sacramento Kings, which made the playoffs this past spring for the first time since 2006.
