The Kings exercised their third-year team option on Clifford's contract Monday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Clifford is officially under contract for the 2027-28 campaign. The 24-year-old has totaled just 19 minutes over two regular-season appearances so far this season, averaging 3.0 points while shooting 42.9 percent from the field. He also didn't see the floor in Sunday's loss to Memphis.
