Lyles (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Indiana.
Lyles will play in his second consecutive outing following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. It wouldn't come as a surprise if the big man operates under a minutes restriction, meaning Isaac Jones and Alex Len could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers.
Lyles made his return to game action in Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. He played 17 minutes off the bench, finishing with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal. Though he didn't experience any reported setbacks in his return, the Kings could still end up holding out Lyles for maintenance purposes in the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Lyles and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) both deemed questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len could end up covering most of the minutes at center if neither Lyles nor Sabonis is available.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Questionable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Lyles suffered a Grade 1 right calf strain in late November, and he has been sidelined ever since. In the 10 games prior to his injury, he averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 23.0 minutes per game. Lyles was initially slated to return Thursday against the Lakers but was added back to the injury report and eventually ruled out. If he's unable to play in Saturday's rematch, his next opportunity would be against the Pacers on Sunday.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) won't play Thursday against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Lyles was added to the injury report earlier in the day and has now been ruled out for Thursday's action. He hasn't seen the court since Nov. 25 due to his current role in the rotation, so his presence shouldn't be missed much.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Off injury report
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Lyles will return from a nine-game absence due to a right calf strain. His return comes at an opportune time for the Kings, as Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Thursday's contest. However, Lyles would likely be under a minutes restriction even if Sabonis is sidelined.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lyles (calf) logged a full practice Wednesday, and there's optimism that he might be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Lyles has been trending in the right direction toward being available over the last few days, and a full practice Wednesday suggests the forward could be ready to go Thursday, assuming he doesn't have any setbacks. His possible return comes as Keegan Murray (undisclosed) and Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) could be in line to miss Thursday's contest, meaning Lyles could, at the very least, add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Nearing return to game action
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Brown said after Sunday's practice that Lyles (calf) is making good progress in his recovery, but the veteran big man remains uncertain to play during the Kings' four-game week, James Ham of Kings-Beat.beehiiv.com reports. "He's getting close, but he's not playing [Monday], and I don't even know if he's playing the game after that [Thursday against the Lakers," Brown said of Lyles. "He's progressing like anyone would with an injury."
Though Lyles was sidelined for a ninth straight game in Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets, he's now reached the three-week mark in his recovery from the Grade 1 right calf strain he suffered in a Nov. 25 loss to the Thunder. Lyles' initial prognosis called for him to be evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, so the 29-year-old may have reached the day-to-day phase of his recovery. Ham notes that Lyles was on the floor taking part in shooting drills during Sunday's practice, though Lyles may need to take contact in practice before the Kings clear him to play again. Lyles appears unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, but a return at some point during the Kings' weekend back-to-back set could be more realistic.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Back to bench Friday
Rotowire
Lyles is not starting in Friday's game against the Clippers, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
The Kings will be at full strength with the returns of both DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis due to back injuries. This means Lyles will return to his regular bench role. The big man averaged 14.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game as a starter, but his numbers will likely decrease considerably coming off the bench.

Lyles finished Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks with 12 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes.
With Domantas Sabonis (back) sidelined, Lyles has started in the Kings' last two games, and he's responded with back-to-back double-digit scoring efforts. He's been a good filler in the Kings' starting lineup, but his upside will likely only last while he's playing as a starter.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Fills in for Sabonis with 17 points
Rotowire
Lyles contributed 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 win over the Jazz.
Filling in for Domantas Sabonis (back) is a tall order, but Lyles was solid in relief. He lurked at the perimeter often in the victory, drilling five three-pointers in a rare display of sharpshooting. Sabonis should return soon, but Lyles' performance gives the Kings confidence that they're well-covered at the position.

Kings' Trey Lyles: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Lyles is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
The Kings will shake things up in the frontcourt with the absence of Domantas Sabonis (back), and Lyles will get the nod at center instead of Alex Len, who got the nod in the loss to the Timberwolves on Friday. This will be Lyles' first start of the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaging 4.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game this season.
