It's expected that the 37-year-old DeRozan will now become one of the most-sought free agents on the market.
DeRozan's 2026 salary of $25.7 million was only partially guaranteed at $10 million, meaning the Kings could save $15.7 million before the last year kicked in, according to ESPN.

With the Kings, DeRozan's production was steady, averaging just over 20 points a game over his two seasons in Sacramento, and her remained one of the most durable players in the league even at 36 years old. Despite his efficiency and veteran leadership, the Kings went 40-42 in the 2024-2025 season, eliminated in the 1st round of the play-in tournament, to a disastrous 22-60 record in the 2025-2026 season, punctuated by major injuries and a franchise-record 16-game losing streak.
