Carter (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
Carter will return to game action after missing Monday's loss to the Celtics due to the illness. The rookie first-round pick will likely see a bump in playing time due to Malik Monk (illness) being sidelined. Over his last five appearances, Carter has averaged 4.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.4 assists across 15.6 minutes per contest.

Kings' Devin Carter: Questionable Tuesday with illness
Rotowire
Carter (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
After missing Monday's loss to the Celtics due to the illness, Carter is in jeopardy of sitting out once again Tuesday. Starting point guard Malik Monk also sat out Monday with an illness, and if both he and Carter are sidelined again Tuesday, the Kings would likely turn to Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz to serve as their primary facilitators.

Carter (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
The rookie first-round pick's next chance to return to the court comes Tuesday against the Thunder. With Malik Monk also sidelined by an illness, Keon Ellis should take on nearly all the minutes at point guard, while Markelle Fultz serves as his backup.

Kings' Devin Carter: Uncertain to play Monday
Rotowire
Carter is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics due to an illness.
The illness is a new concern for Carter, who had appeared in each of the Kings' last nine games. The rookie first-round pick has played double-digit minutes in seven of those contests, averaging 5.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. If both Carter and starting point guard Malik Monk (illness) are sidelined Monday, Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz would likely serve as the team's primary ball handlers.

Kings' Devin Carter: Emerges with career-high 16 points
Rotowire
Carter notched 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-119 victory over Cleveland.
The rookie first-rounder set a new career high in scoring, providing a lift off the bench Wednesday. The absences of Zach LaVine (personal) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) perhaps prompted interim head coach Doug Christie to run a tighter rotation, enabling Carter to play a more significant role than usual. It's difficult to gauge if this performance will earn Carter more playing time going forward, although fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his minutes in the final weeks of the campaign.

Kings' Devin Carter: Records four steals
Rotowire
Carter finished Monday's 132-122 victory over the Grizzlies with two points (0-1 FG, 2-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and four steals across 11 minutes.
Carter recorded a season-high four steals in the win, making the most of his limited run. He remains miles off the fantasy radar in most formats, averaging 4.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 10.7 minutes across six March appearances.

Kings' Devin Carter: Rejoins parent club
Rotowire
Sacramento recalled Carter from the G League's Stockton Kings on Tuesday.
Carter will be available for the Kings' next game Wednesday in Denver, but the rookie first-round pick will likely be left out of the rotation unless starting point guard Malik Monk (toe) sits out.
Carter supplied two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes during Monday's 110-96 victory over the Nets.
Carter continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having now played fewer than 10 minutes in five straight games. After making his debut earlier in the month, Carter had a couple of encouraging performances. However, with the roster now healthy, his role has reduced to the point where he is typically a non-factor.

Kings' Devin Carter: Getting green light vs. Houston
Rotowire
Carter (shoulder) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Rockets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Carter was added to the injury report due to a left shoulder issue, but it isn't significant enough to keep him from Thursday's clash. He's averaging 5.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over his last six appearances, all off the bench.

Kings' Devin Carter: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Carter (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Carter is nursing left shoulder soreness that's jeopardizing his status for Thursday. The rookie first-rounder is logging just 14.3 minutes per game over six appearances this season, so his potential absence is unlikely to have significant implications on Sacramento's rotation. With Jordan McLaughlin (personal) out against Houston, however, the Kings may need to lean heavily on De'Aaron Fox, and Keon Ellis could have an expanded role.

Kings' Devin Carter: Makes strong impression
Rotowire
Carter had 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 129-99 victory over the Warriors.
Playing in just his second NBA game, Carter had a much better showing compared to his scoreless debut against the Grizzlies. He was able to get extended run due to the lopsided score, however, so he remains a player to monitor in deeper formats for the time being. Plus, the Kings were without De'Aaron Fox (glute) on Sunday.

Kings' Devin Carter: Back with parent club Friday
Rotowire
The Kings recalled Carter from the G League's Stockton Kings ahead of Friday's game versus the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Carter underwent left shoulder surgery in July and has yet to make his NBA debut, but he should be an option off the Sacramento bench Friday after proving his health during two appearances with the G League club. The rookie first-round pick dominated in those two outings with Stockton, averaging 23.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 5.0 three-pointers, 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks in 33.2 minutes. If Carter is included in the rotation Friday, he would likely fill a small backup role behind starting guards De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk.
