The Sacramento Kings could get up to three key players back in their match against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
According to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews, Malik Monk, DeMar DeRozan, and Domantas Sabonis are cleared for on-court work after missing games. Monk missed the past four games due to a right ankle sprain, while DeRozan and Sabonis have missed at least one game due to lower back tightness.
“Obviously, we want our guys to be healthy,” Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown said on Monday. “Our medical team is going to keep doing what they are doing, and our guys are going to keep doing what they need to do to get back and when they come back it’ll be great. But otherwise, it’s the next man up.”
The Sacramento Kings have had mixed results, alternating wins and losses in their last eight games, including the last four when Malik Monk started his spell on the sidelines.
De’Aaron Fox is putting the Sacramento Kings on his back
De’Aaron Fox has been on a hot streak lately, scoring 137 points in the last four days, including a 60-point explosion against the Minnesota Timberwolves and a 49-point output against the Utah Jazz.
The one-time NBA All-Star couldn’t maintain his torrid scoring pace against the Atlanta Hawks, but dropping 28 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and three three-pointers in the 109-108 loss isn’t too bad.
Because of his recent scoring outbursts, Fox was named Western Conference Player of the Week for Week 4.
