NBA.com (Summer League Hub)

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Although it's the offseason on the college basketball circuit, two prominent former BGSU men's basketball players – Richaun Holmes (2012-15) and Justin Turner (2016-21) – are making headway in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

On the first night of NBA free agency, Holmes – a coveted big man on the market – reportedly agreed to a four-year contract to stay with the Sacramento Kings. Reporters around the NBA expect Holmes' deal to be one of the largest across the entire league at his position. The former Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year experienced a breakout season in 2020-21, as he averaged career highs in scoring (14.2 ppg) and rebounding (8.3 rpg).

Free agent center Richaun Holmes has agreed to a four-year deal worth as much as $55 million to return to the Sacramento Kings, his agency Par-Lay Sports & Entertainment (@parlay_se) tells @TheAthletic @Stadium. Deal includes player option and trade kicker.
