Kings’ “close eye” on Froling

Tuesday, February 4, 2025

"We obviously like to monitor all major free agent movement."

Sydney Kings CEO Chris Pongrass has revealed the club will keep a “close eye” on star Illawarra Hawks free agent Sam Froling.

“We obviously like to monitor all major free agent movement, but will of course keep a close eye on what happens with Sam in Wollongong and if there’s a desire to look elsewhere. He’s an exceptional player,” Pongrass told Newscorp.

The out-of-contract Froling is set to be one of the hottest properties on the market. He is averaging 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds this season, as the Hawks fly towards a top of the ladder finish.

Last week, ESPN reported Froling and the Hawks “remain in good faith talks with regard to a potential extension”.

Illawarra faces the New Zealand Breakers on Wednesday night at 5:30pm AEDT, live on ESPN.
