After the deal is over he will be 30 years old. Barnes was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2020 but now he will remain in Sacramento. He declined his player option and was going to test free agency but he and the Kings were able to work out a deal. Now Barnes will be helping to revive a young Kings franchise that hasn&#8217;t been to the playoffs since the 2005-06 season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Harrison Barnes&#8217; Career Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Barnes began his career with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprobasketball.com\/nba-teams\/golden-state-warriors\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Golden State Warriors<\/a> where he won an NBA title with the team in just his third year. he averaged 10.1 points per game that season and averaged 10.6 points per game during the playoffs.
