The Kings are unlikely to offer Tyreke Evans a maximum extension this summer unless he displays significant improvement over the remaining part of the season.
"(Evans has) already proven he's a very good player," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said. "Going forward for his game to continue to grow, he's got to continue to work on areas of his game that need improvement."
Petrie declined to discuss the Kings' plans for Evans, saying a decision won't be made until after the season.
"Before going public (with talks), you should have the private ones first," Petrie said.
Evans, for his part, would like to re-up with the Kings.
"I like it here," Evans said. "I got drafted here, so I'd really like to be here. But I've got to wait and see what happens. You'll never know what's going to happen."
