Sunday was the final last day for an NBA team or player option to be exercised, and two former Alabama standouts were a part of the offseason madness.
The Sacramento Kings picked up guard Keon Ellis' option for this season, per ESPN 1320 Sacramento's James Ham. Barring an extension, he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. The former undrafted two-way player appeared in 80 NBA contests this and averaged 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks in 24.4 minutes per game this past season
Additionally, the Boston Celtics exercised their team option on two-way guard JD Davison, which is worth $2.27 million non-guaranteed, per HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. Davison was named the 2024-25 Kia NBA G League Most Valuable Player after averaging 25.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 48.2 percent from the field in 45 overall games this past season for the Maine Celtics.
