Sasha Vezenkov is expected to remain with Olympiacos for another season and not move to the NBA.
This is what Sean Cunningham of Fox40 reports, adding that the Sacramento Kings will not make him an offer, but will keep monitoring him in the next season.
The Sacramento Kings will not be bringing in Sasha Vezenkov for the 2022-23 NBA season, sources say. The team will continue to monitor him in the upcoming season and hold his draft rights and the possibility exists to bring him into next season.

Vezenkov attracted significant interest from the Kings this offseason, with Sacramento holding his rights in the league.
Even though there were talks between the two sides, the Kings never made an offer to the star forward. Vezenkov has an NBA buyout clause in his contract with Olympiacos, worth $750K, which expires on July 20.
Vezenkov was an MVP candidate in the EuroLeague and averaged 13.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 38 games, helping the “Reds” reach the Final Four for the first time since 2017.
