The Sacramento Kings are considering trade options involving Nemanja Bjelica, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Bjelica, 32, has been benched in recent games. His last appearance was a couple of weeks ago. Head coach Luke Walton has shifted his focus to develop younger players, while the team notes the Serbian forward out due to personal reasons.
Sacramento opted to guarantee his $7.15MM salary in November despite exploring the trade market. They are likely to continue aiming to find a way to move him. He will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Prior to being forced to the sidelines, Bjelica averaged 15.1 minutes per game over ten appearances in the 2020-21 NBA Regular Season. He had 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per match.
