Kings exercise options on players for 2019-20 season

The Kings announced Friday that they have exercised team options for the 2019-20 season on De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Justin Jackson, Harry Giles and Skal Labissiere.

Fox, a second-year point guard, went into Friday’s game against the Washington Wizards averaging 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. The Kings selected Fox as the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Hield, a third-year guard, has averaged 14 points on 45.7 percent shooting from the field and 43.2 percent shooting from 3-point range in 110 games with the Kings. Sacramento acquired him in the trade that sent DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans in February 2017.
