Kings' Zach LaVine: Out for at least one week
The Sacramento Kings announced Tuesday that Zach LaVine (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.After exiting Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves, LaVine has been diagnosed with a moderate left ankle sprain and will need to miss at least Sacramento's next three contests. With the star guard out of action, Nique Clifford appears to be the most likely choice to replace LaVine in the starting lineup. It's also possible Keon Ellis will see increased minutes for the time being.

LaVine has finished with single-digit points in four of his last 10 outings, averaging 17.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the floor in 31.3 minutes per contest during that span.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Drops 34 points with six dimes
Zach LaVine accumulated 34 points (12-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 39 minutes during Friday's 128-119 loss to the Jazz.LaVine had been struggling coming into Friday's game, shooting just 36.8 percent from the floor and 16.7 percent from distance over a three-game stretch, so it was nice to see him snap out of the funk. This was his first 30-plus-point performance since Nov. 1, and his fourth of the season. LaVine will look to keep it going Sunday with a favorable matchup with Memphis.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Struggles with shot in loss
Zach LaVine contributed seven points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime victory over the Timberwolves.LaVine couldn't get anything going in the win, but DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray were able to pick up the slack. Saturday marked LaVine's worst scoring total of the season, and his numbers have been especially volatile recently. He's often alternated between great totals and single-digit performances, and there's no clear metric that explains the inconsistency. He averages out to a conversion rate of 49.8 percent over 16 games, so accuracy isn't a pressing problem. He also averages 14.7 shots per game, which is also a decent number.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Paces Sacramento in loss
Zach LaVine logged 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 137-96 loss to Memphis.LaVine delivered a bounce-back performance after totaling just 16 points and shooting 7-for-17 from the field in his previous two games. The veteran swingman was the only Sacramento Kings player to score more than 12 points en route to his ninth 20-plus-point outing through 14 regular-season appearances. He should remain one of the team's top options on the offensive end, though he has struggled to contribute in other categories besides points and triples so far this season.
