Lyles (groin) played 11 minutes and finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in Thursday's 117-115 loss to the Timberwolves. Though he missed all of the preseason while managing a groin strain, Lyles was cleared for the regular-season opener and was the Kings' first frontcourt player off the bench, as he checked into the game for Keegan Murray with 3:29 remaining in the first quarter. Neither Lyles nor fellow reserve big man Alex Len (six minutes) saw much run, however, as the Kings leaned heavily on Murray (43 minutes) and Domantas Sabonis (38 minutes). Lyles would likely need an injury to hit one of the Kings' two frontcourt starters before he sees enough meaningful playing time to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues.

Lyles (groin) is available for Thursday's game versus Minnesota, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Lyles suffered a left groin strain at the end of September, and while the injury limited him throughout training camp, the 28-year-old is ready for regular-season action. He profiles as Sacramento's only true forward behind Keegan Murray.

Lyles (groin) walked through the offense with coaches following Wednesday's practice session, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports. Lyles is battling a groin injury he suffered during offseason workouts, which has kept him out of training camp. The hope for Lyles is he will be available for the start of the 2024-25 regular season, though his minutes could be restricted as he catches up on his conditioning. He's slated to provide frontcourt depth behind Domantas Sabonis, Keegan Murray and Alex Len.

Lyles suffered a left groin strain during offseason workouts and is expected to be sidelined for three weeks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. When healthy, Lyles projects to provide frontcourt depth this season in Sacramento behind Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len. Thus, Lyles looks to be a fringe-rotational player. His timeline for recovery should lead to a return just before the start of the regular season tipping off, barring any setbacks. However, he may be behind on his conditioning at that point.

Lyles (illness) is available for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Portland, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Lyles will suit up for his ninth consecutive contest Sunday, joining a fully healthy Kings frontcourt. Sacramento is destined for the Play-In Tournament, but the exact seeding remains on the line.
