Vezenkov has informed the Kings he does not plan on returning for the second year of his contract, Mihalis Stefanou of eurohoops.net reports. Vezenkov has a guaranteed contract for the 2024-25 season without an option, so it is possible that the Kings could waive him in the offseason. It is unclear whether the 28-year-old will remain in the NBA or make a return to Europe. Vezenkov logged his first action in the NBA last season with Sacramento and averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 12.2 minutes in 42 appearances.

Sasha Vezenkov Latest News
Wants out of Sacramento
Vezenkov has informed the Kings he does not plan on returning for the second year of his contract, Mihalis Stefanou of eurohoops.net reports. Vezenkov has a guaranteed contract for the 2024-25 season without an option, so it is possible that the Kings could waive him in the offseason. It is unclear whether the 28-year-old will remain in the NBA or make a return to Europe. Vezenkov logged his first action in the NBA last season with Sacramento and averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 12.2 minutes in 42 appearances.
Scores five points in return
Vezenkov (ankle) tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 10 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 127-106 win over Utah. The Kings will be without Malik Monk (knee) for the rest of the regular season, but the returns of Vezenkov and Trey Lyles (knee) from 22- and nine-game absences, respectively, helped fortify the Sacramento bench. The rookie from Cyprus turned in a useful all-around line during his time on the court, but Vezenkov is unlikely to see his role grow substantially over the final two weeks of the regular season unless Sacramento elects to scale back the minutes of starting forwards Harrison Barnes and Keegan Murray.
Back in action
Vezenkov (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Vezenkov will make his return to the lineup Sunday after missing the last 22 games with an ankle injury. His return comes at a great time for Sacramento, who recently lost Malik Monk (knee) and Kevin Huerter (shoulder) to injury. Vezenkov could find his way into a substantial role with plenty of minutes suddenly available in the Kings' regular rotation.
Questionable for Sunday
Vezenkov (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz. Vezenkov has been sidelined since Feb. 9, but this will be his third straight questionable designation. He's been ramping up his activity at practice, and the Kings will be anxious to get him back after losing Malik Monk (knee) for the remainder of the regular season.
Won't suit up Friday
Vezenkov (ankle) will not play Friday against the Mavericks. Vezenkov has been sidelined since early February, but despite being ruled out for Friday, he's now considered day-to-day. He fully practiced Friday morning, and he could make his return Sunday against the Jazz.
Fully participates in practice
Vezenkov (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, fully participated in the Kings' morning practice session, Jake Gadon of CBS Sacramento reports. Vezenkov hasn't suited up since early February but has been ramping up in recent days. His full participation in practice is encouraging, but the Kings will likely wait to see how he feels afterward before determining his status. If he's cleared to play, Vezenkov could face a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence.
Listed as questionable
Vezenkov (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks. Vezenkov has been sidelined since early February, but he's trending in the right direction and is considered day-to-day. If he gets the green light, Vezenkov could work his way back into the rotation. On the season, the forward is averaging 12.6 minutes per game.
Will not play Tuesday
Vezenkov (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Mavericks, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. Vezenkov hasn't played since early February but is ramping up towards a return. His next chance to play will be Friday in a rematch versus Dallas.
Questionable for Tuesday's game
Vezenkov (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Dallas. Vezenkov hasn't played since early February due to a right ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday. If he's cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see his playing time monitored.
