Kings' Kevin Huerter: Unlikely to play vs. San Antonio
Huerter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Huerter injured his right ankle during the Kings' loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, and he's not expected to suit up for Sunday's Western Conference clash. Malik Monk, Colby Jones and Jordan McLaughlin are candidates to see increased minutes if Huerter is ruled out.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Probable to return Sunday
DeRozan (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
DeRozan was able to fully participate in Saturday's practice and is trending towards a return from a two-game absence due to lower back inflammation. Over his first 15 regular-season games as a member of the Kings, DeRozan has averaged 22.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals over 36.3 minutes per contest.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Logs full practice Saturday
DeRozan (back) logged a full practice Saturday and is trending toward being available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
DeRozan missed the Kings' last two games after experiencing inflammation in his lower back muscles following Monday's game against the Thunder. However, the fact that he logged a full practice Sunday is a good sign of his potential availability to face the Spurs. DeRozan is averaging 22.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season.

Kings' Kevin Huerter: Doesn't practice Saturday
Huerter (ankle) didn't practice Saturday and is expected to be listed as doubtful to play Sunday against the Spurs, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Huerter exited Friday's game against the Blazers with a right ankle injury after being unintentionally tripped early in the second quarter, and the fact that he didn't practice Saturday suggests his chances of playing Sunday are slim. Even if he's deemed available, Huerter shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. He's been playing off the bench recently, with Keon Ellis taking over as the starting shooting guard in the team's last three games.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Hits for 22 in loss
Fox produced 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 115-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The 26-year-old point guard put the finishing touches on a strong November that saw him score more than 20 points in 15 of 16 games, averaging 29.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.6 steals on the month while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor. Fox has averaged more than 20 points a game in each of the five previous seasons, but the addition of DeMar DeRozan (back) to the Kings' lineup has created some extra space for him -- Fox's 27.7 PPG so far in 2024-25 would be a career high.

Kings' Malik Monk: Huge night from long range
Monk contributed a game-high 29 points (10-21 FG, 8-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two blocks across 36 minutes off the bench during Friday's 115-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The eight made threes weren't just a season high for Monk -- his best previous performance was only three treys. The 26-year-old guard has been on fire since returning from a seven-game absence due to an ankle injury, and over the last three contests he's averaging 23.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.3 threes, 4.0 boards and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes a game.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Triple-double in Friday's loss
Sabonis closed with 21 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Friday's 115-106 loss to Portland.
It was the fourth triple-double of the season for Sabonis, with the last coming Nov. 6 against the Raptors. The veteran center has delivered at least a double-double in 17 straight games after falling a couple boards short on Opening Night, and in five contests since returning from a minor back issue, Sabonis has averaged 21.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes while shooting 59.7 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent (7-for-15) from beyond the arc.

Kings' Kevin Huerter: Leaves early with ankle injury
Huerter won't return to Friday's game against the Blazers due to a right ankle injury, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Huerter suffered the injury when he was unintentionally tripped early in the second quarter. The 26-year-old came off the bench Friday for the third game in a row with Keon Ellis having supplanted him as the Kings' starting shooting guard. Huerter tallied one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal in seven minutes prior to his departure.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Remains out Friday
DeRozan (back) is out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
DeRozan experienced inflammation in his lower back muscles after Monday's game against the Thunder, and he's set to miss a second straight game. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Spurs. In his absence, Jae Crowder could remain in the starting lineup, while Kevin Huerter, Malik Monk and Doug McDermott could all see an uptick in minutes as well.

Kings' Malik Monk: Season-best effort in win
Monk accumulated 27 points (11-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 victory over Minnesota.
Monk erupted with a season-high 27 points off the bench for the Kings on Wednesday, teasing a triple-double in the process. It was just his second game back following a seven-game absence due to an ankle injury, but Monk has created a reputation in recent years for being able to heat up in a hurry. With DeMar DeRozan still nursing a back issue, Monk is worth a look on all fantasy waiver wires with a short-term boost in value while the star wing is off the court. Following Wednesday's outburst, Monk is up to 13.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 25.9 minutes per game through 12 games as Sacramento's sixth man in 2024-25.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Another double-double Wednesday
Sabonis finished Wednesday's 115-104 victory over Minnesota with 27 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes.
Sabonis had little issue contending with Rudy Gobert's defense in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, netting his 16th double-double of the season. The 28-year-old three-time All-Star has been one of the top big men in fantasy so far this year, averaging 20.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.0 three-pointers per game while shooting a career-high 62.0 percent from the field, 40.5 percent from deep and 84.6 percent from the free-throw line in 17 contests. Sabonis may be hurting fantasy managers a bit with his 3.6 turnovers per game, but he should continue to handle added usage for the Kings in the absence of star swingman DeMar DeRozan (back).

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Bounces back in near triple-double
Fox accumulated 26 points (10-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 victory over the Timberwolves.
After scoring a season-low 14 points in Monday's loss to the Thunder, Fox wasted little time getting right back on track by flirting with a triple-double in Wednesday's win over Minnesota. Since the calendar flipped to November, Fox is averaging an outstanding 29.7 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 38.3 minutes per game across 10 outings. The 26-year-old star guard is taking on more responsibility on offense in the void of star wing DeMar DeRozan (back), and Fox should continue returning enhanced value if that absence extends into Friday's matchup in Portland.

Kings' Jae Crowder: Starting in team debut
Crowder will be included in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Crowder agreed to a contract with the Kings on Tuesday and will start right away at power forward due to the absence of DeMar DeRozan (lower back). He should see steady minutes in a depleted Sacramento frontcourt, but his fantasy upside won't be very high since he's not likely to be a go-to option on offense.

Kings' Isaiah Crawford: Headed to G League
The Kings transferred Crawford (ankle) to the G League's Stockton Kings on Tuesday.
Crawford hasn't made an NBA appearance this season and has been dealing with a left ankle sprain. When the rookie forward is able to suit up, he will likely receive increased opportunities for playing time with the G League's Stockton Kings.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Out vs. Minnesota
DeRozan is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a lower back injury, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
DeRozan experienced inflammation in his lower back muscles after Monday's game against the Thunder, during which he supplied 30 points (13-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes, and the Kings are taking a cautious approach with him. Expect Kevin Huerter to start in his place, while Malik Monk, Colby Jones and Doug McDermott could all see extra minutes with DeRozan out.
