Coming off bench Metu will come off the bench Saturday against the Wizards, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
Joins starting five Metu will start Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Metu posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists off the bench Tuesday and will make his first start since Jan. 16. Domantas Sabonis will start in his debut for Sacramento on Wednesday, while Richaun Holmes shifts to the bench.

Delivers big line off bench Metu posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes Tuesday in the Kings' 134-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Metu was the main beneficiary of Maurice Harkless exiting the game earlier with a right ankle injury, as the former joined the starting five for the second half and picked up his most minutes since Dec. 20. Even if Harkless is forced to miss additional time because of the injury, Metu's path to a consistent 20-plus minute role could be blocked following the Kings' acquisition of Domantas Sabonis earlier Tuesday. Sabonis could be ready to make his team debut in Wednesday's rematch with Minnesota, and Richaun Holmes (personal) and Marvin Bagley (ankle) could also re-enter the Kings' frontcourt mix in the coming days.

Records double-double from bench Metu finished with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over the Nets.
Impact With Marvin Bagley (ankle) sidelined, several big men in the rotation needed to pick things up, and Metu was the biggest beneficiary. Metu was instrumental to Sacramento's production throughout January but regressed a bit after two absences last week. The new injury scenario provides a better opportunity for Metu, who should be considered in deep formats while Bagley is out.
