Kings' Keon Ellis: Scores career-high 33 points
Keon Ellis chipped in 33 points (9-17 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.Ellis pulverized his previous career-high scoring mark and looked impressive off the bench in this game despite the fact the Sacramento Kings suffered a one-point defeat. This performance came out of nowhere, though, as Ellis was averaging just 5.9 points per game since the beginning of November entering Monday's eight-game slate. Ellis' increased offensive activity can likely be attributed to the absences of DeMar DeRozan (back) and Domantas Sabonis (back).

Kings' Keon Ellis: Entering camp as starting SG
Coach Mike Brown said Tuesday that Keon Ellis will enter training camp as the Sacramento Kings' starting two-guard, though the team will explore its options when Kevin Huerter (shoulder) returns from injury, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.Ellis saw an uptick in minutes and production during his second year with the club, during which he averaged 5.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals across 17.2 minutes per game in 57 appearances (23 starts). The 24-year-old missed significant time due to an ankle injury and carved out an inconsistent role in his return. However, as the season progressed the guard became a mainstay in the starting five. Malik Monk seems to be content with a role as the Kings' sixth man, meaning Ellis will have an opportunity to prove he is worth the starting role -- at least until Huerter returns.
