• Kings' Dennis Schroder: Logs team-high 21 points from bench

  19H ago • By RotoWire

  Schroder supplied 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 98-93 loss to Portland. Russell Westbrook endured a rocky start to the game, making an early entrance for Schroder a necessity. Although Westbrook logged 30 minutes, the Kings ran with the hot hand and gave Schroder his highest minute total since his seven-game absence. Although Westbrook's job appears safe, we may continue to see the rotation favor a combo of the two veterans in the backcourt, especially during periods when Zach LaVine (ankle) is out or on the bench. Malik Monk has also been excluded from the rotation in two straight games, despite being healthy.

• Kings' Dennis Schroder: Green light to play Thursday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Schroder (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against Portland, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Schroder was cleared to return Sunday against the Timberwolves after missing the seven games prior due to a hip injury. He drew the questionable tag for Thursday's game due to a sprained right ankle, but his newest injury isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined. Schroder is averaging 12.6 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 threes over 28.9 minutes per game this season.

• Kings' Dennis Schroder: Questionable for Thursday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Schroder is questionable for Thursday's game in Portland due to a right ankle sprain. Schroder must have tweaked his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves, but we'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround. If Schroder is forced to the sideline, Devin Carter might be able to get into the rotation.

• Kings' Dennis Schroder: Strong scoring off bench in return

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Schroder (hip) registered 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists and one rebound across 25 minutes Sunday in the Kings' 117-103 loss to the Timberwolves. Schroder made his return to action Sunday after missing Sacramento's previous seven games due to a right hip flexor strain. While Russell Westbrook retained starting duties at point guard, Schroder was still able to overlap with him a bit due to Zach LaVine exiting due to a left ankle injury after playing just 16 minutes. Nique Clifford ended up opening the second half with the starting five in LaVine's stead, but Schroder and fellow reserve guard Malik Monk would likely continue to see notable spikes in playing time if LaVine isn't available for the Kings' next game Thursday in Portland.

  Schroder (hip) is available for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Schroder is set to return from a seven-game absence Sunday, so don't be surprised if he's operating with some minutes restrictions. With Schroder back in the rotation, Devin Carter could be headed for a DNP-CD.
