Kendric Davis has fallen in “love” with Australia and it’s prompted the gifted guard to kick start talks to remain a Sydney King on a multi-year deal, reports Matt Logue from CODE Sports.

Davis’ maiden season in the Harbour City has been spectacular, with the diminutive American guard dropping career-high numbers for the Kings.

He has enjoyed his time in Sydney so much that he wants to extend his stay beyond this season.

Davis told CODE Sports he’s started preliminary discussions about re-signing with the Kings for at least another year.

“We started talks early last week,” Davis revealed. “We have expressed mutual interest to come back, whether it is on a three, two or one year deal I don’t know.

“It’s still early in my journey and it is hard when you’ve got offers everywhere, so I haven’t thought about it yet and I’m just trying to win the championship.

“But Sydney has made me fall in love with Australia.

“I liked Australia last season in Adelaide, but I’ve fallen in love with it here at the Kings.

“The way Sydney has embraced me, the organisation, the coach, my teammates.”

After finishing a close second in the NBL’s MVP race to six-time winner Bryce Cotton, Davis has turned his attention to winning a championship.
