Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown will reportedly be staying with the Kings for a longer duration.
Reports came out late Friday night, that the two-time Coach of the Year winner and the Kings, signed a re-negotiated two-year extension that would keep him with the team through 2026-27.
ESPN first reported the deal and said that Brown will receive a $4 million raise to $8.5 million for next season and the $8.5 million a year for two extra seasons added to his last deal.
Brown secured a 94-70 record in two seasons with Sacramento. He led the Kings to their first playoff spot since 2006 in his first year and missed a return to the playoffs this last campaign. Sacramento lost a play-in match for the eighth seed to New Orleans after going 46-36 in the regular season.
Mike has been a significant part of Sacramento’s transformation, helping the club end the longest playoff drought in NBA history and winning his second career coach of the year award.
Brown and Rick Adelman are the only Kings coaches to lead them to a winning record in any season since they moved to Sacramento in 1985.
Mike Brown has a 441-286 career record with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Kings.
