Harrison Barnes, the forward of Sacramento Kings, has declined his $25.1 million player option for the upcoming season and will now become an UFA.

The news was shared by the agent of Barnes to Adrian Wojnarowski.

But, Harrison and the Sacramento Kings are also open in exploring a new deal that will allow him to stay in the Kings for a longer period of time.

Barnes averaged 14.3 points per game while shooting 45.5 percent off the floor, and shooting 40.8 percent behind the three-point line.

Barnes is also expected to be the top available players in the upcoming free agency.

Harrison Barnes signed a 4 year deal with the Dallas Mavericks in 2016 for $94-million USD.

Before playing for the Mavs, Barnes played for Golden State Warriors in the 2014-2015 season.
