• Kings' Trey Lyles: Battling illness

  04/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lyles is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers with an illness. Lyles didn't appear on the Kings' initial injury report for the regular-season finale that was released Saturday, so the illness may have been something that cropped up overnight. The Kings will likely see how he recovers over the next few hours before making a decision on his status shortly before the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Since making his return to action March 31 following a nine-game absence due to a left knee sprain, Lyles has appeared in each of Sacramento's last eight contests while averaging 8.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals in 21.5 minutes.

• Kings' Trey Lyles: Posts 11 points in return

  04/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lyles (knee) logged 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 19 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 127-106 win over the Jazz. Making his return from a nine-game absence due to a left knee sprain, Lyles led the Kings' second unit in scoring thanks largely to his hot shooting display from downtown. Though Lyles has split time between both frontcourt spots this season, his minutes largely came as a backup power forward Sunday while Alex Len logged 12 minutes behind starting center Alex Len. Since Len doesn't present much of a perimeter scoring threat, Lyles could have the opportunity to see reserve minutes at both power forward and center if head coach Mike Brown elects to tighten his rotation in future games. With that in mind, Lyles might be someone to keep an eye on over the final two weeks of the regular season in case his role expands. For the time being, though, his fantasy utility will mostly be contained to deeper leagues.

• Kings' Trey Lyles: Questionable to face Utah

  03/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lyles (knee) is questionable to face the Jazz on Sunday. Lyles could return after missing the previous nine games due to a lingering knee sprain. The power forward hasn't stepped on the court since March 12. He's averaging just 5.3 points and 3.9 rebounds across 18.6 minutes per game since the All-Star break, so his return shouldn't impact many fantasy decisions either way.
