Top Kings News

  • Kings' Kevin Huerter: Injuries arm Monday

    Huerter exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against Memphis after suffering a wrist injury, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Huerter was fouled in transition and immediately crumpled to a heap under the basket after taking a smack to the arm. It's unclear if his wrist or shoulder suffered more of the blow, but Huerter went straight to the locker room, visibly in pain.

  • Kings' Sasha Vezenkov: Full go at shootaround

    Vezenkov (ankle), who remains out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, was a full participant during the team's morning shootaround, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

    Vezenkov hasn't played since Feb. 9 and has missed 28 of Sacramento's last 37 games while dealing with a lingering ankle issue. Shootarounds aren't normally very intense, so the former EuroLeague MVP probably still has a few hurdles to clear before getting cleared for game action. Vezenkov's role was minor before his absence, but the Kings may look to get him more involved with Trey Lyles (knee) hurt and Kevin Huerter struggling.

  • Kings' Kessler Edwards: Barely plays in loss

    Edwards recorded no statistics in 32 seconds of court time in Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks.

    Edwards saw some run in a close game, though it wasn't nearly enough playing time for him to make any noise from a fantasy perspective. He's averaging 1.4 points and 0.7 rebounds in 4.6 minutes per game over 42 appearances on the season.

  • Kings' Chris Duarte: Hits rock bottom in loss

    Duarte posted no counting stats over zero minutes during Saturday's 98-91 loss to the Knicks.

    Duarte played just eight seconds in the loss, continuing his terrible season. He is well outside the top 300 for the season, often spending his entire evening sitting on the bench. Outside of some very specific streaming opportunities, Duarte can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats.

  • Kings' Alex Len: Tallies three blocks Saturday

    Len chipped in zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and three blocks in seven minutes during Saturday's 98-91 loss to New York.

    Len blocked a season-high three shots in the loss, albeit in a muted role of just seven minutes. Given he has failed to play more than 10 minutes in eight straight games, Len is not someone managers need to prioritize, even in deeper formats.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Back to bench

    Ellis will move to the bench for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Kevin Huerter (leg) is back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Ellis fared well in that game, scoring 14 points with two rebounds, one block, three steals and three triples in 28 minutes.

  • Kings' Kevin Huerter: Available to face Knicks

    Huerter (leg) is available to face the Knicks on Saturday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Huerter was initially listed as questionable after missing the Wednesday win over the Lakers, and the veteran shooting guard will be available for this one, meaning he should handle his regular workload as a starter. Huerter has been struggling of late, however, as he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range since the All-Star break.

  • Kings' Kevin Huerter: Questionable for Saturday

    Huerter (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Huerter is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a bruised right leg. More light should be shed on his status once he begins to test his leg out during pregame warmups. If Huerter is ultimately unable to play, Keon Ellis should benefit the most from his absence from a playing-time perspective.

  • Kings' Trey Lyles: Out at least two weeks

    The Kings announced Friday that Lyles will be re-evaluated in two weeks while he contends with an MCL sprain his left knee, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

    Lyles suffered the injury during the second quarter of Tuesday's win over the Bucks. Given his two-week re-evaluated timeline, Lyles will presumably miss at least the Kings' next eight games. In Lyles' absence in Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers, Chris Duarte reclaimed a spot in Sacramento's rotation, though he played just eight minutes.

  • Kings' Trey Lyles: Doesn't practice Friday

    Lyles (knee) didn't participate in Friday's practice but did put up flat-footed shots afterward, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

    Lyles missed Sacramento's previous contest due to a left knee sprain. Lyles' inability to practice is a bad sign of his availability for Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.

  • Kings' Kevin Huerter: Full go at practice

    Huerter (leg) was a full participant during Friday's practice, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 report.

    Huerter was sidelined for Wednesday's win over the Lakers, the second night of a back-to-back set, but is trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Knicks. The sharpshooter has struggled lately, averaging just 6.1 points while shooting 25 percent from three over his last seven appearances.

  • Kings' Harrison Barnes: Gets buckets Wednesday

    Barnes posted 23 points (8-15 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers.

    Barnes is on fire from beyond the arc, compiling 11-for-18 shooting from deep across his last two games, with Wednesday representing his fifth occasion of the season posting at least five made threes. Barnes' workload has fluctuated of late, and he isn't contributing much outside of the scoring column, but he is carrying serious shooting momentum into Saturday's game against the Knicks.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Plays well in start

    Ellis posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers.

    Ellis finished with a plus-6 net rating during his time on the court, which was the worst mark among Sacramento's starters, but he was efficient and active defensively in Wednesday's victory. Kevin Huerter (leg) was sidelined Wednesday, and Ellis' play likely secured a starting spot Saturday against the Knicks if Huerter is inactive again.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Controls game in victory

    Sabonis closed Wednesday's 120-107 win over the Lakers with 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

    Sabonis fueled a 44 to 38 team rebounding advantage for Sacramento on Wednesday while facilitating with only two turnovers as the Kings notched back-to-back quality wins. He continues to profile as one of the top do-it-all players in the league.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Double-double in win

    Murray produced 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 victory over the Lakers.

    Murray continues to rain in threes while playing at home, with his three-point efficiency rising to 42.5 percent on 6.5 triples per game when the Kings are in Sacramento. Wednesday represented his fifth double-double of the season and his first since Feb. 11.

  • Kings' Jordan Ford: Highly efficient in G League win

    Ford supplied 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes in Stockton's 123-93 G League win over Mexico City on Friday.

    Ford was one point away from sharing the team lead in scoring with Kessler Edwards and snapped a brief downturn where he'd put up 10 points or fewer in three straight games. The St. Mary's College product has put together some breakout offensive efforts this season, but he's also been prone to the occasional single-digit point tally.
