Devin Carter News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Muted role continues Monday 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.

Impact 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.

Out for Sunday Carter (wrist) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.

Impact Carter was unable to practice Saturday due to soreness, so this is expected news. With the rookie sidelined, guys like Kevin Huerter, Jordan McLaughlin and Colby Jones could potentially see more run.

Likely out Sunday Carter didn't participate in Saturday's practice due to right wrist soreness and will likely be out for Sunday's game versus the Wizards, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Carter's expected absence could open up minutes for Kevin Huerter, Jordan McLaughlin (personal) and Colby Jones. However, fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify Ellis' status against Washington.

Getting green light vs. Houston Carter (shoulder) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Rockets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact 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.

Active at shootaround Carter (shoulder) particiapted in shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Rockets, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Carter is officially listed as questionable Thursday due to left shoulder soreness. However, the rookie guard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Houston.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Carter (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Carter is nursing left shoulder soreness that's jeopardizing 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 major 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.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Makes strong impression 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.

Impact 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) Sunday.

Recalled to NBA club Sacramento recalled Carter from the G League's Stockton Kings on Sunday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

The No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft had been sidelined to start his rookie season due to a torn labrum sustained during a pre-draft workout. Given Sacramento's recent struggles, Carter may be able to push for a rotation spot as a backup point guard.

Heads to G League Sacramento assigned Carter (shoulder) to the G League's Stockton Kings on Thursday, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Carter has been sidelined all season after undergoing surgery in mid-July to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, but the rookie's assignment to the G League suggests that he's ready to resume practicing. His NBA debut is likely still at least a week or more away, however, and Carter could end up seeing game action in the G League before he sees action for Sacramento.

Undergoes successful surgery The Kings announced Thursday that Carter underwent successful surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Carter sustained his left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout, and the Kings were aware of the issue when selecting him with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Kings announced Thursday that they'll update his status in approximately six months, so the 22-year-old will presumably miss at least the first few months of the 2024-25 season. However, Carter is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns.
