Center DeMarcus Cousins has agreed to terms on an extension with the Sacramento Kings, multiple media reports said.


Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee first reported the extension, with Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski later adding that the deal was for the maximum of four years, $62 million, with no opt-out clause.

Cousins was the fifth overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft after spending one year with the Kentucky Wildcats. In his three seasons so far in the NBA, all with the Kings, the 6'11" center has put together career averages of 16.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks.

An extension between the two teams has never been a sure thing, due to the controversial nature of the 23-year-old. Cousins has often clashed with his head coaches, and even got suspended indefinitely last season due to "unprofessional behavior."  - AMD, GMA News
