Both Divac and Joerger will be under contract through the 2019-20 season.
Sam Amick also added quotes from both in a follow-up tweet.
This Kings move is a byproduct of Divac and Joerger working very well together, from the sound of it. A sign of stability, if you will. pic.twitter.com/yJLDHwWMIM

Many have speculated that the organization has extended both contracts at the same time, to the same time is due to their chemistry.
In his first year holding the reins, Joerger led the Kings to a 32-50 record. However, after a wildly popular draft, Divac, Joerger and the Kings organization are looking to rebuild in their sophomore season at the Golden 1 Center.
