The Sacramento Kings and George Karl are nearing the completion of a four-year contract worth between $4 million to $5 million a season to become head coach of the Sacramento Kings, according to Yahoo Sports.
Tyrone Corbin will coach the final two Kings’ games before the All-Star break Tuesday at Chicago and Wednesday at Milwaukee — with Karl taking over as head coach afterward, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Karl’s deal would include a team option on the final year of the contract in the 2017-18 season, sources said. There are still details in the contract that need to be ironed out before it can be finalized, league sources said.
