2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ellis had a terrific third NBA campaign with the Kings in 2024-25. He ended up with 80 regular-season appearances (28 starts), posting averages of 8.2 points, 1.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers on 48.9 percent shooting from the field. In just 24.4 minutes per contest, Ellis produced a ninth-round finish in standard nine-category leagues on a per-game basis. The Kings didn't make a ton of noise in the offseason despite some changes in the front office. DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk were rumored to be on the trade block, but nothing came to fruition. Sacramento's big addition was presumed starting point guard Dennis Schroder, and the club also signed Russell Westbrook ahead of the regular season. The backcourt is certainly crowded when you throw Zach LaVine and Devin Carter into the mix, but Ellis certainly proved his worth in 2024-25 and has the talent to carve out a sizable role. With elite steal and block rates, Ellis has intrigue, but his ceiling just won't be that high until the Kings clear up this logjam in the backcourt. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $18 million contract with the Nets in June of 2026. 
Inks deal with Brooklyn
Ellis agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with Brooklyn on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellis will head to Brooklyn after spending the 2025-26 season with Sacramento and Cleveland. Across 72 regular-season appearances (11 starts) last season, the Alabama product averaged 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists while shooting 44.0 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from beyond the arc in 20.5 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old may not operate as a full-time starter, but Ellis should carve out a significant role for a Brooklyn team continuing its rebuild after already acquiring veteran forward Julius Randle this offseason. Ellis' deal includes a mutual option with all $18 million guaranteed.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New deal has two options
Ellis' two-year deal with the Nets includes both a player option and a team option for the 2027-28 season, according to Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
As Vorkunov states, Ellis will earn a $9 million salary in the 2026-27 season, and he'll have the ability to pick up a $9 million option for 2027-28. The Nets will also have the chance to do so. If both sides pass on their respective options, Ellis would be a free agent next summer. But if at least one of the parties opts in, Ellis would receive a guaranteed $9 million salary in 2027-28. Ellis' deal can't be officially finalized until at least July 6, so it remains to be seen whether the NBA will allow that kind of option, as this hasn't happened in recent years.
