The Nets picked up Kilpatrick's $1.5 million team option for the 2017-18 season on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports.

The decision was a no-brainer for Brooklyn, which will essentially pay Kilpatrick the minimum salary in 2017-18, an excellent deal for a player who appeared in 70 games last season. While Kilpatrick may not be in the team's long-term plans, he figures to again be a key bench piece as the Nets move forth with their lengthy rebuilding process.
