Kings' Maxime Raynaud: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Raynaud has been diagnosed with a right patellar subluxation and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
Raynaud was taken back to the locker room in a wheelchair during Saturday's preseason loss to the Warriors, though he has seemingly avoided a serious injury. The big man will still begin the regular season on the inactive list, leaving additional minutes available for the likes of Precious Achiuwa and Dylan Cardwell (rest).

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Injures knee vs. Golden State
Raynaud suffered an right knee injury during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Warriors and will not return, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Raynaud appeared to tweak his knee after bumping into Stephen Curry, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle. The injury was severe enough for Raynaud that he had to be taken off the floor and into the locker room in a wheelchair, and the Kings should have an update on the second-year center once he undergoes more tests on his knee. An extended absence would mean more minutes at center would be available for Dylan Cardwell (rest) and Precious Achiuwa.

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Not starting vs. Warriors
Raynaud is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Warriors, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Even though Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) is out Saturday, Raynaud won't start, as Precious Achiuwa will get the nod at center. Raynaud has posted solid numbers in the preseason, tallying 25 points and 18 rebounds across two appearances, and he's expected to see steady minutes in the frontcourt, though he'll mainly operate as Sabonis' backup when the former is healthy.

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Penciled in as No. 2 center
Raynaud enters his second NBA season after flashing intriguing offensive versatility during his rookie campaign.
The seven-footer can stretch the floor and facilitate from the frontcourt, giving Sacramento a unique developmental option. However, as long as Domantas Sabonis is in town, Raynaud will likely be competing for reserve minutes. Another year of development could help Raynaud carve out a consistent role in the Kings' rotation, and if he continues to impress, the Kings may be more willing to part ways with Sabonis.

It was the 18th double-double of the season for Raynaud, who continues to be productive in a Kings frontcourt missing Domantas Sabonis (knee), Keegan Murray (ankle) and others. The rookie center's 15 boards represented his best showing on the glass since he pulled down 19 against the pelicans on Feb. 9, and he's scored in double digits in nine of the last 10 games, averaging 18.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 threes and 1.1 combined steals and blocks over that span while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (8-from-18) from downtown.
