Despite how he’s enjoying a productive 2019-20 season as the team’s top scorer and preparing to enter the first year of a lucrative four-year contract extension, Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield reportedly isn’t happy with how things currently stand, specifically when it comes to his erstwhile off-the-bench role on the team.
Quoting a report from The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, Sam Amick, and Jason Jones, Bleacher Report wrote on Wednesday that Hield has become “frustrated” with his current status as the Kings’ sixth man. The three Athletic writers cited an unnamed source reportedly familiar with the situation, pointing out that the former lottery pick “might” demand a trade if he remains unhappy coming off the bench for Sacramento.
