Garcia stays

NBA basketball star Francisco Garcia is staying in Sacramento for another five years and will be a rich man when it’s all said and done. The Dominican-born player has signed a five-year, US$29.8 million extension with the Sacramento Kings. The contract guarantees four years, with a fifth year team option, that looks to be partially guaranteed. Garcia is entering his fourth year in the league, after being a first round pick out of Louisville. Visibly excited, Garcia told the Sacramento Bee, “I’m happy because I love the city, I love the organization, I love the style we play, I love my teammates.”
