Willie Cauley-Stein had a lot to say about how he wants to grow in the Kings’ offense, but the big man also went on the defensive Wednesday over recent remarks about his salary.
“I think that got put out of context a little bit. It made it look like I was just worried about this money,” Cauley-Stein said after training camp practice at Golden 1 Center.
Cauley-Stein enters his fourth NBA season still on his rookie contract after being drafted No. 6 overall by the Kings in 2015. He’s scheduled to make nearly $4.7 million this season, and Sacramento would need to issue a qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent next offseason.
