Kings' Dennis Schroder: Questionable for Thursday
Schroder is questionable for Thursday's game in Portland due to a right ankle sprain.
Schroder must have tweaked his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves, but we'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround. If Schroder is forced to the sideline, Devin Carter might be able to get into the rotation.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: To be re-evaluated soon
Sabonis (knee) is scheduled to be re-evaluated in the coming days, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports Wednesday.
Sabonis is a month into a three-to-four week re-evaluation window, so he's definitely due for an update from the Kings. With the team sitting at 6-20 in the Western Conference, it's unlikely that the center will be rushed back into action. As long as he's sidelined, the Kings will continue to lean on Maxime Raynaud.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Out for at least one week
The Kings announced Tuesday that 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.

Kings' Devin Carter: Back to G League
Sacramento assigned Carter to the G League's Stockton Kings on Monday.
With Dennis Schroder healthy again, Carter is going to struggle to find consistent minutes in Sacramento.

Kings' Russell Westbrook: Dishes out 10 assists Sunday
Westbrook closed Sunday's 117-103 loss to Minnesota with eight points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 28 minutes.
The veteran point guard remained in the first unit despite the return of Dennis Schroder (hip), handing out at least 10 dimes for the ninth time in 2025-26. After spending most of the offseason in free agency, Westbrook has been a strong fantasy producer in points leagues with the Kings. Over his last 10 appearances, he's averaged 13.9 points, 9.0 assists, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 steals per game.

Kings' Dennis Schroder: Strong scoring off bench in return
Schroder (hip) registered 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists and one rebound across 25 minutes Sunday in the Kings' 117-103 loss to the Timberwolves.
Schroder made his return to action Sunday after missing Sacramento's previous seven games due to a right hip flexor strain. While Russell Westbrook retained starting duties at point guard, Schroder was still able to overlap with him a bit due to Zach LaVine exiting due to a left ankle injury after playing just 16 minutes. Nique Clifford ended up opening the second half with the starting five in LaVine's stead, but Schroder and fellow reserve guard Malik Monk would likely continue to see notable spikes in playing time if LaVine isn't available for the Kings' next game Thursday in Portland.

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Limited impact vs. Minnesota
Raynaud had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 loss to the Timberwolves.
Raynaud took a step back in his fourth consecutive start, though that was more due to a lack of touches rather than a lack of efficiency. If Domantas Sabonis (knee) is cleared to return Thursday against the Trail Blazers, Raynaud would move back to the bench, and that would limit his fantasy upside considerably in deeper leagues.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Goes for 17 points in loss
DeRozan chipped in 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 loss to the Timberwolves.
DeRozan has failed to reach the 20-point mark in six of his last eight appearances, and the veteran forward has struggled to get into a groove offensively all season long. He's averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over that eight-game stretch, and while he retains fantasy upside due to his role in Sacramento's scheme, his numbers are clearly down compared to recent years. He's posting the third-worst scoring average of his career at 17.7 points per game.

Kings' Precious Achiuwa: Perfect from field Sunday
Achiuwa contributed 17 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 loss to Minnesota.
Achiuwa was perfect from the field in this game and missed only two of his four shots from the charity stripe. The veteran big man is making the most of his chances in recent weeks and has scored in double digits in six of his previous nine appearances, averaging 9.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks off the bench over that span.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Won't return Sunday
LaVine will not return to Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left ankle injury.
LaVine twisted his left ankle early in Sunday's game, and while he attempted to play through it, he bowed out during the third quarter. LaVine will end his evening with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two turnovers in 16 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Portland. Nique Clifford started the second half in LaVine's absence.

Kings' Nique Clifford: Coming off bench Sunday
Clifford is not in the Kings' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Clifford started in Thursday's 136-105 loss to the Nuggets, though he finished with just two points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four rebounds and four turnovers over 28 minutes. He'll be available off the bench for Sunday's game while Zach LaVine (thumb) re-enters the Kings' starting five after a one-game absence.

Kings' Dennis Schroder: Available to play
Schroder (hip) is available for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Schroder is set to return from a seven-game absence Sunday, so don't be surprised if he's operating with some minutes restrictions. With Schroder back in the rotation, Devin Carter could be headed for a DNP-CD.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Cleared to face MIN
Ellis (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Ellis was previously listed as questionable for the contest due to right wrist soreness. In 24 games this season, Ellis is averaging 5.3 points and 1.2 steals across 17 minutes.

Kings' Dennis Schroder: Now questionable
Schroder (hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Schroder was initially deemed doubtful for the contest, but it now looks like he'll have a legitimate chance at returning from a seven-game absence. Malik Monk, Nique Clifford and Keon Ellis have handled larger roles while Schroder has been sidelined with the right hip strain.

Kings' Drew Eubanks: To be re-evaluated in three weeks
Eubanks sustained a left thumb avulsion fracture in Thursday's loss to Denver and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Eubanks logged just four minutes before exiting Thursday's contest and will miss an extended period due to the thumb injury. With the big man sidelined, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud are candidates for increased playing time, especially until Domantas Sabonis (knee) is cleared to return.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Questionable to face Minnesota
Ellis (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Ellis is dealing with right wrist soreness and is in danger of missing his first game due to an injury this season. If the 25-year-old guard is ruled out, Malik Monk and Nique Clifford are candidates for increased playing time. Ellis has seen inconsistent run of late, averaging 2.8 points, 1.0 steals and 1.0 assists in 16.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings.

Kings' Drew Eubanks: Won't go Sunday
Eubanks (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.
Eubanks sustained a left thumb avulsion fracture in Thursday's loss to the Denver and won't play Sunday. With the big man sidelined, Precious Achiuwa could see an uptick in minutes behind Maxime Raynaud.
