Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown agrees to a contract extension with a raise to $8.5 million per season through 2026-27 following reported tensions over compensation.

As Brown secures his future, attention shifts to key guard Malik Monk's impending free agency. Monk, a crucial contributor off the bench, faces a decision between loyalty to the Kings and potentially larger offers elsewhere.
