Kings' Keegan Murray: Questionable for Sunday
Murray (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Murray has missed the past two games for the Kings, but he appears to be trending in the right direction -- he was able to do some individual work at Saturday's practice. If Murray isn't able to suit up for the first leg of this back-to-back set, Keon Ellis and Trey Lyles could see extended run.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Unlikely to play Sunday
Fox is unlikely to play Sunday against the Warriors due to a right glute contusion, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Fox has been feeling some glute soreness after taking a fall in the win over the Grizzlies on Friday and is expected to be listed as doubtful. That said, his chances of playing are unlikely, especially since the Kings aren't expected to take risks with their star floor general. If that's the case, look for Malik Monk, Devin Carter and Keon Ellis to handle expanded roles in the backcourt.

Kings' Colby Jones: Headed to G League
The Kings assigned Jones to the G League's Stockton Kings on Saturday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Jones has logged just one minute in Sacramento's last four outings, so he should receive increased playing time in the G League. The 22-year-old guard will be available for Sunday's matchup with Rip City.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Posts 13 points in first-unit role
Ellis posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 138-133 victory over the Grizzlies.
Ellis slid into the starting five as the first unit adjusted to account for Keegan Murray's (ankle) absence. He did enough to be relevant with 11 shot attempts and was also effective on defense with three steals during the victory. Malik Monk's promotion to e first unit has diluted his results, so he's not very dependable as a fantasy option at the moment.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Hits for 29 points
DeRozan provided 29 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block over 38 minutes during Friday's 138-133 win over the Grizzlies.
Although Malik Monk stole the show Friday night, DeRozan also had a potent night, making plays all over the floor. DeRozan picked the slack during Keegan Murray's (ankle) absence, and he combined a solid shooting night with defensive prowess inside. He should excel while the team is short-handed, and his numbers will become slightly more volatile upon Murray's return.

Kings' Malik Monk: Delivers massive line in win
Monk registered 31 points (11-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 138-133 victory over the Grizzlies.
Promoting Monk to the first unit is the shrewdest move the Kings have made this season. After toiling as the sixth man for two seasons and reserve roles elsewhere, Monk is finally getting a chance to hold down a full-time job as a starter. He's solidly outperforming the competition below him on the depth chart, and this scenario doesn't look like it will change anytime soon. He'll have ample opportunity to keep posting prolific totals despite a hist of elite talent on the roster.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Won't play Friday vs. Memphis
Murray (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Murray will miss his second straight game due to left ankle soreness, and his next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Warriors. Trey Lyles and Keon Ellis will each see their role expand Friday due to Murray's absence.

Kings' Orlando Robinson: Returns to parent club
The Kings recalled Robinson from the G League's Stockton Kings on Friday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Robinson will rejoin the Kings ahead of Friday's game against the Grizzlies but is unlikely to be featured in the rotation. He made his fourth G League appearance of the season in Stockton's 118-94 win over the Memphis Hustle on Thursday, finishing with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes before fouling out.

Kings' Devin Carter: Back with parent club Friday
The Kings recalled Carter from the G League's Stockton Kings ahead of Friday's game versus the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Carter underwent left shoulder surgery in July and has yet to make his NBA debut, but he should be an option off the Sacramento bench Friday after proving his health during two appearances with the G League club. The rookie first-round pick dominated in those two outings with Stockton, averaging 23.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 5.0 three-pointers, 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks in 33.2 minutes. If Carter is included in the rotation Friday, he would likely fill a small backup role behind starting guards De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Unlikely to go vs. Grizzlies
Murray (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis.
Murray appears in line to miss his second straight game while dealing with left ankle soreness. Keon Ellis and Trey Lyles would be in line for more opportunities assuming Murray is ultimately downgraded to out.

Kings' Devin Carter: Headed to G League
The Kings assigned Carter (conditioning) to the G League's Stockton Kings on Thursday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Carter has missed Sacramento's previous two NBA contests while returning to competitive conditioning. However, there is a good chance the rookie guard will be able to suit up against the Memphis Hustle on Thursday.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Provides spark off bench
Lyles chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over Philadelphia.
Lyles' four made threes accounted for 12 of Sacramento's 14 total bench points during Wednesday's victory. While the 29-year-old forward is shooting 39.0 percent from the field this season, he is converting 36.7 percent of his 4.1 three-point attempts per contest.

Kings' Kevin Huerter: Shooting woes continue
Huerter notched two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
Huerter is having arguably the worst season of his career during the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaging a career-low 9.1 points per game while shooting a career-worst 30.3 percent from beyond the arc. The veteran guard has shot 2-for-13 combined over the last two games and gone 1-for-7 from deep.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Pulls down 21 rebounds
Sabonis contributed 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 FT), 21 rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
Regardless of the team's overall struggles, Sabonis always finds a way to perform, and by now, it's an oddity when he doesn't have a double-double. This was his 11th straight game reaching that feat, and he's posted either 20 points or 20 rebounds five times in that stretch. Sabonis is averaging 20.0 points and 16.0 rebounds per game contest over that 11-game span, and his contributions have been one of the few consistent traits for the Kings all season long.

Kings' Malik Monk: Struggles with three-point shot
Monk closed with 20 points (5-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
Monk delivered an impressive stat line and reached the 20-point mark for the second time over his last three games. Even though the fact that he went 0-for-5 from beyond the arc might stand out, the truth is that Monk has been struggling with his shot since being promoted to a starting role on Dec. 1. During that 14-game span, he's averaging 16.7 points per game but is only shooting a subpar 32.7 percent from three-point range. Furthermore, his 33.9 percent from deep this season would be his lowest mark of the last five seasons if he doesn't improve it in the coming months.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Extremely efficient Wednesday
Fox ended with 35 points (13-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over the 76ers.
Fox had one of the most efficient shooting performances of his career after missing just three of his 16 shots en route to surpassing the 30-point plateau for the third time over his last six appearances. He's been turning things around following a rough patch in early December. The star floor general is averaging 29.5 points, 6.7 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor across his last six outings.

Kings' Jae Crowder: Good to go
Crowder (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Crowder will return from a one-game absence due to back soreness to face Philadelphia. Crowder has been left out of the rotation when healthy recently, though he could see some minutes Wednesday due to the absence of Keegan Murray (ankle).
