Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans looks poised to become a restricted free agent next offseason.

NBA.com's David Aldridge reported Monday that the Kings will likely pass on offering Evans a contract extension.

From Aldridge's report:

Evans has shown flashes in his first three seasons, but not enough to pique Sacramento's interest to give him a deal. The Kings will "probably not" be offering an extension, a source says.

Teams have until Oct. 31 to offer contract extensions to players from the 2009 draft class, who are slotted to become restricted free agents next summer. Aldridge details how that front is likely to be quiet — including with Evans, the fourth-year player who is perhaps the most notable of the crop.
