Perkins is on the last year of his contract, and the 11 year veteran is slated to make $9.4 million this upcoming season. The offensively challenged Perkins was viewed as a likely candidate to fall victim to the amnesty clause, but Presti has dismissed that notion repeatedly.
Perkins hopes to return from injury immediately and make a significant impact as reserve big man Steven Adams is poised to take his starting spot.
Kendrick Perkins, 29, averaged 3.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last year for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
