LaVine supplied eight points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, one rebound and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 loss to the Bulls.
LaVine returned to action after missing Wednesday's win over Cleveland, tying his season-low mark in points in his first outing against his former team since having been traded. The star swingman struggled from three-point range against Chicago, though entering Thursday's contest he had shot an impressive 52.6 percent from beyond the arc in March. Over 10 appearances this month, LaVine has averaged 21.1 points, 3.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 three-pointers across 36.4 minutes per contest.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Set to play Thursday
Rotowire
LaVine (personal) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.
LaVine will return to action Thursday to play his former team after missing Wednesday's 123-119 win over the Cavaliers while tending to a personal matter. The 29-year-old will likely reclaim his starting spot from Keon Ellis.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Not playing Wednesday
Rotowire
LaVine is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a personal matter.
Since being acquired from the Bulls on Feb. 3, LaVine had played in each of the Kings' ensuing 18 games, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while he tends to a personal situation. His absence could open up more volume for Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan, while Devin Carter and Keon Ellis could both take on heightened roles in the rotation. It's unclear if the Kings anticipate LaVine returning for the second leg of a back-to-back set Thursday versus the Bulls.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Makes brief visit to locker room
Rotowire
LaVine went to the locker room during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Grizzlies after rolling his left ankle but has been cleared return, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Drops 21 in Phoenix
Rotowire
LaVine chipped in 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 122-106 loss to the Suns.
After failing to score 20 points in either of the prior two games while attempting only 16 total field goals, LaVine's shot volume started to creep up again Friday. The 30-year-old wing has drained at least one three-pointer in 16 straight contests since being blanked from beyond the arc in his Kings debut Feb, 5, and over that stretch LaVine has averaged 23.3 points, 4.1 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.2 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting an impressive 53.3 percent from the floor and 44.3 percent from long distance.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Perfect from downtown in loss
Rotowire
LaVine closed Thursday's 130-104 loss to the Warriors with 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three assists and one rebound over 32 minutes.
LaVine put up fewer than 10 shots for just the fourth time this season, and it's his first time not reaching 10-plus shot attempts over 16 outings with the Kings. The 30-year-old swingman was extremely efficient Thursday, and he hit at least four triples for the 25th time on the season. LaVine has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last 10 appearances, and in that 10-game span, he has averaged 23.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 36.1 minutes per game.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Shines with 36 points in win
Rotowire
LaVine totaled 36 points (14-22 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 127-109 victory over San Antonio.
LaVine strutted his stuff in front of De'Aaron Fox, who failed to make an impact against his former team. Malik Monk's (toe) absence only enhanced LaVine's dominance in the backcourt, illustrating the obvious improvements made that involved shipping Fox out of town. LaVine shipped seven three-pointers in the decisive win, marking his second-highest total of the season beyond the arc. The Kings are 2-1 without Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), and excellent totals from LaVine and the rest of the starting five are keeping Sacramento's playoff hopes afloat.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Scores 20 in win over Rockets
Rotowire
LaVine finished with 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Rockets.
LaVine has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 10 appearances, including in three straight, with the Kings since being acquired in the deal that sent De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs. He's quickly established himself as one of the team's top scoring weapons alongside DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis (hamstring). LaVine is averaging 22.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in Sactown.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Drops 22 in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
LaVine produced 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 118-101 victory over the Jazz.
The 29-year-old wing has scored more than 20 points in six of nine games since being traded west by the Bulls, and he's drained multiple threes in five straight contests. Over the latter stretch, LaVine is averaging 26.4 points, 5.0 assists, 4.2 boards, 4.2 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 54.0 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent (21-for-44) from beyond the arc.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Pours in 42 points
Rotowire
LaVine had 42 points (16-19 FG, 8-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 130-88 win over Charlotte.
LaVine's 42 points mark a new season high, and this was the eighth time in his career that he knocked down at least eight shots from beyond the arc. In his first eight games with Sacramento, LaVine appears to be fitting in well with averages of 23.0 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.8 three-pointers.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Posts 13 points in loss
Rotowire
LaVine finished Friday's 132-108 loss to Golden State with 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes.
The Kings are slipping without De'Aaron Fox, and while Malik Monk's excellent play was a key factor in allowing Fox to leave, they also need big things from LaVine. So far, injuries and poor shooting have hampered his bottom line, and he regressed to his worst total as a King after posing a blistering 32 points in his last contest.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Shines offensively in double-double
Rotowire
LaVine logged 32 points (12-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 45 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Pelicans.
LaVine put on a show for Sacramento in Thursday's contest, putting forth his best outing in a Kings uniform thus far by leading all players in scoring, threes made, assists and steals in a well-rounded performance. LaVine matched a season-high assist total in the contest, a mark he has now recorded twice. He has surpassed the 30-point mark in 14 contests, his first with Sacramento.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Hits for 22 in Saturday's win
Rotowire
LaVine posted 22 points (7-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-118 win over the Pelicans.
The 29-year-old wing produced 22 points for the second straight game as he begins to get comfortable with the Kings. LaVine has attempted 15.3 FGs, 5.7 FTs and 6.7 three-pointers a game in his three appearances for Sacramento so far, volume comparable to his usual usage in Chicago, which should be reassuring to GMs with fantasy shares in him who may have been worried how he would fit alongside Domantas Sabonis, DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Finds rhythm Thursday
Rotowire
LaVine registered 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
After a disappointing Kings debut Wednesday that included an 0-for-4 performance from three-point range, LaVine looked more comfortable in his second game with his new club. The 29-year-old wing is still trying to figure out how he best fits in the Sacramento lineup alongside DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Domantas Sabonis, and LaVine could eventually take on a bigger distribution role. However, he doesn't appear to be headed for a decline in his shot volume.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Limited to 13 points in debut
Rotowire
LaVine (personal) logged 13 points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 loss to the Magic.
Before he was traded to the Kings on Sunday, LaVine had missed the Bulls' most previous three games while observing the birth of his child. He wasn't available for the Kings' 116-114 win over the Timberwolves on Monday, but LaVine joined his new team and made his debut Wednesday, slotting into the starting spot in the backcourt that was vacated by De'Aaron Fox being traded to San Antonio. While LaVine took on sizable minutes right off the bat for his new squad, he struggled to find his shooting touch as the Magic trounced the Kings. LaVine may have a bit of an adjustment period in Sacramento, but he should eventually settle into a similarly high-usage role that he enjoyed during his time with the Bulls.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Left off injury report
Rotowire
LaVine (personal/recently traded) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
LaVine missed three straight contests due to personal reasons before being sidelined Monday due to his trade from Chicago to Sacramento still being finalized. However, it appears that the star forward will be able to make his Kings debut Wednesday and should slide into the starting lineup.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Slated to debut Wednesday
Rotowire
LaVine (personal) won't be available for Monday's game at Minnesota, but the Kings anticipate him making his team debut Wednesday versus the Magic in Sacramento, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Though the Kings, Bulls and Spurs finalized a blockbuster deal Monday that De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio, neither of Sacramento's two pickups in the deal -- LaVine and Sidy Cissoko -- will be asked to make the trip to Minnesota on short notice. LaVine -- who had missed the Bulls' last three games prior to being traded after observing the birth of his child -- could operate under a slight playing-time restriction Wednesday, but once he gets fully integrated with his new team, he should cover nearly all of the 35-plus minutes that Fox routinely played.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Headed to Sacramento
Rotowire
The Kings acquired LaVine (personal), guard Sidy Cissoko, first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2031 and three second-round picks Sunday in a three-team trade also involving the Bulls and Spurs, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Bulls will receive center Zach Collins, guards Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter and a 2025 first-round pick in the deal, while guards De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin will head to San Antonio. Before missing Chicago's last three games while welcoming a new child, LaVine averaged 24.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.2 three-pointers in 34.1 minutes over his 42 appearances. In Sacramento, LaVine should essentially step into the big-minute role vacated by Fox, though LaVine will face more competition for usage than he did in Chicago with the Kings having center Domantas Sabonis, forward DeMar DeRozan and guard Malik Monk already on hand. LaVine is unlikely to join the Kings for their next game Monday in Minnesota, but he could be ready to make his team debut Wednesday versus the Magic in Sacramento.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Out Sunday, will return soon
Rotowire
LaVine (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
As expected, LaVine has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third straight game while he tends to a personal matter. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Chicago against the Heat, and he's expected to join the team soon, per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. Coby White, Josh Giddey, Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu should continue to start alongside Nikola Vucevic in a small-ball lineup for Bulls head coach Billy Donovan until LaVine is cleared to play again.

Bulls' Zach LaVine: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire

LaVine has missed the last two games for the Bulls as he tends to his pregnant wife, as the couple is expecting their third child. The veteran scorer has played well when on the floor for Chicago this season, averaging 24.0 points per game. In his absence, the team has gone with Coby White and Josh Giddey at small forward, with Ayo Dosunmu at the four spot.
