Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine opts into massive player option

NBA 56 minutes ago

VanVleet has played in 133 games averaging 15.9 points, 5.3 assists 3.8 rebounds while shooting 36.9% from three from 2023-2025. This past season VanVleet missed the entire year as he recovered from a torn ACL.

VanFleet entered the league back in 2016 with the Toronto Raptors where he played the first seven years of his career. During that span he played an integral part in the championship run back in 2019 where he helped Toronto win its first NBA title.

The Rockets hope VanVleet’s return sparks more offensive assistance alongside Kevin Durant on the perimeter.
