Center Kosta Koufos will reportedly exercise his $8.7 million player option and return to the Kings next season, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes.

The 29-year-old Koufos signed a four-year, $33 million deal with the Kings back in 2015 and has been a consistent contributor during his three seasons with the team.

In 220 total games with Sacramento, Koufos has posted averages of 6.7 points and 5.9 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game, shooting 55.0 percent from the field.

Koufos recorded career-highs in assists (1.2) and steals (0.7) during the 2017-18 season, and his 6.6 rebounds per game was the second highest mark of his career.
