Veteran backup center Alex Len plans to return to the Sacramento Kings on a one-year, $3.3 million contract, The Athletic reported Sunday.

Len provides depth behind Kings star center Domantas Sabonis, who had 77 double-doubles (including 26 triple-doubles) during the 2023-24 regular season.

Len, 31, averaged 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 48 games as a reserve last season.

Next season would be Len's fourth in his second tour of duty for Sacramento. He also played for the Kings during part of the 2019-20 season.

Len has career averages of 7.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 644 games (237 starts) since being a first-round pick (fifth overall) out of Maryland by the Phoenix Suns in the 2013 NBA Draft. He also has played for the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards.
