According to two league sources, fourth-year shooting guard Kevin Martin late Monday night agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Kings worth about $55 million.

Though Martin will be paid $1.8 million this season, his contract would make him the third-highest paid Kings player when it begins. Center Brad Miller is owed $11.4 million for the 2008-09 season, and point guard Mike Bibby, who has a player option for that season, would be owed $14.5 million.
