Ellis chipped in six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 win over Washington.
Ellis logged 27 minutes Wednesday, the most he has played since joining the Cavaliers. While he has provided the team with consistent defensive contributions off the bench, his playing time has been largely underwhelming. With that said, he is worth keeping an eye on, particularly if he can carve out a regular 25-minute role for himself, given his defensive upside.

Cavaliers' Keon Ellis: Traded to Cleveland
Rotowire
Ellis was traded alongside Dennis Schroder to the Cavaliers from the Kings on Saturday in exchange for De'Andre Hunter, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
After months of speculation, Ellis finally finds himself a new home. He was a standout player for the Kings during the 2024-25 season, but he was hardly utilized this campaign with an average of 17.3 minutes across 43 appearances. The Cavaliers do have considerable depth at guard, and if Darius Garland (toe) returns soon, Ellis may struggle to see enough minutes to make a big impact in fantasy hoops. While the trade is pending, Ellis can be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Portland.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Muted role continues
Rotowire
Ellis racked up six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to Boston.
Ellis continues to play a muted role on a Sacramento team with seemingly nothing to play for. Although his per-minute production has been adequate, the simple fact is that Ellis just isn't seeing enough court time to have any sustainable value. In four games over the past week, he has averaged 8.3 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per game.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Notches 14 points in loss
Rotowire
Ellis ended Sunday's 139-116 loss to the Pistons with 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) across 21 minutes.
Ellis picked up a handful of minutes in garbage time due to the lopsided score. The defensive specialist has been used sparingly by the Kings this season, and that has resulted in his name appearing in the rumor mill numerous times ahead of the trade deadline.
Ellis (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Ellis has missed the Kings' last two games due to left knee soreness, but his absence from the injury report indicates that he'll be available against Miami on Tuesday. He saw his minutes fluctuate prior to his injury, but his return would likely result in fewer minutes being available for Nique Clifford and Malik Monk.
Ellis (knee) is out for Sunday's game against Portland.
Ellis will miss a second consecutive matchup while nursing left knee soreness. He hasn't been all that involved in the rotation of late, but Nique Clifford could pick up a few extra minutes Sunday in Ellis' absence.
Ellis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Ellis was held out of Friday's clash due to knee soreness but could return to the hardwood Sunday. The team should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.

Rotowire
Ellis (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.
The Kings are listing Ellis as a late addition due to left knee soreness, which is a bad sign for his chances of playing Friday. The guard's playing time has fluctuated all year long, but Nique Clifford, Malik Monk and Dennis Schroder could all be more involved if Ellis is sidelined.
Ellis is not in the Kings' starting lineup against the Rockets on Sunday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Ellis started in Friday's loss to the Warriors, though he logged just five points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 25 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Sunday while Precious Achiuwa enters the Kings' starting five.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Ellis will start against the Warriors on Friday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Ellis will get the starting nod against Golden State after coming off the bench in each of the Kings' last five games. As a result, Precious Achiuwa will slide to the second unit. Ellis has started four games so far this season, during which he has averaged 7.8 points and 1.3 steals in 21.8 minutes per contest.
