Harrison Barnes is sticking it out in Sac-Town.
Barnes will re-sign with the Sacramento Kings for $54 million over three seasons, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The former first round pick will avoid free agency as a result of this agreement.

Barnes, 31, has spent the last five seasons with the Kings after three seasons in Dallas and four years with the Golden State Warriors.
The veteran forward was one of only three players in the NBA, along with Mikal Bridges of the Brooklyn Nets and Nikola Vucevic of the Chicago Bulls, to start all 82 regular season games during the 2022-23 season.
Barnes averaged 15.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while posting a 47-37-85 shooting line. He’s now averaged double-digits in each of the last 10 seasons.
Barnes helped the Kings snap the longest playoff drought in professional sports, as Sacramento reached the postseason for the first time in 17 years.
