Brown has been at the helm for each of the previous three seasons.
He has gone 94-70 in 164 games.
The Kings also made the NBA playoffs during the 2023 season, which was their first time reaching the postseason since 2006.
Last year, the Kings were the ninth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.
They beat Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in their first play-in tournament game but lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in the second.
That said, the Kings have a talented roster that is led by De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk (in addition to acquiring DeMar DeRozaon over the offseason).
