Devin Carter News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Back to bench Carter will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

Impact Carter started Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to Russell Westbrook (thigh) being out of the lineup, but he will return to a bench role as Westbrook is back in action. Carter has seen at least 20 minutes in five of his last six appearances off the bench.

Scores 15 in spot start Carter logged 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 130-121 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Carter joined the starting five Thursday with Russell Westbrook (thigh) out of commission. The 23-year-old responded with a solid all-around line, as he set a new season high in rebounds while tying his season best in assists. Carter could be worth a streaming look until Westbrook makes his way back from injury, which could arrive as early as Sunday in Los Angeles.

Starting Thursday Carter is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Mavericks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Carter is getting a spot-start with Russell Westbrook (thigh) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Nique Clifford, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud. In Carter's previous start this season, he finished with 19 points, five boards, four dimes, one triple and one block, so he makes sense as a streaming option.

Playing Wednesday Carter (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Carter has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to lower-back soreness. He has averaged 22.9 minutes per game across eight outings (one start) since Feb. 1 and has stepped into a more prominent role in the Kings' rotation in the absence of Lach LaVine (finger) and De'Andre Hunter (eye).

Questionable for Wednesday Carter (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Out Monday Carter (back) is out for Monday's game against Memphis.

Impact After being a late addition to the injury report with lower-back soreness, Carter is now downgraded to out. The Kings could opt for a hot-hand approach between Malik Monk and Russell Westbrook on Monday, with Nique Clifford also having a clearer path to minutes.

Coming off bench Thursday Carter is not in the Kings' starting lineup against the Magic on Thursday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Carter made his first start of the season against the Jazz on Feb. 11, and he put together a strong performance with 19 points, five rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes. He'll move back to his usual spot on the bench Thursday due to the return of Russell Westbrook (ankle).

Impact Carter entered the starting lineup for the first time this season with Russell Westbrook (ankle), Zach LaVine (finger) and Malik Monk (illness) all sidelined. Carter responded by posting his best scoring performance of the campaign while finishing second on his team in scoring behind DeMar DeRozan.

Starting Wednesday Carter will start Wednesday against the Jazz, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Russell Westbrook (ankle), Zach LaVine (finger) and Malik Monk (illness) are all unavailable for Wednesday's game, so Carter will draw the first start of his career. The rookie has been heating up over the past three games, churning out averages of 14.7 points, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals per contest, so he's worth a look as a potential streamer in deep leagues with the increased opportunity Wednesday evening.

Hits for 18 points Carter recorded 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 132-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Carter saw more time on the court due to Zach LaVine's (finger) absence, and the Kings seem content to kick the tires for depth ahead of the break. The 2024 first-round pick hasn't done much in his second season with the Kings, but the team's reluctance to include him in trade talks indicates a strong desire to keep him in the fold. Unless the Kings make drastic changes and choose to bench their veterans, Carter's best chances to contribute are still a season away.

Seasons-high 24 minutes Carter notched 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 loss to Memphis.

Impact Carter had his best outing of the season, chipping in across most major categories. Sacramento is in disarray at the moment, making it almost impossible to project fantasy value. With that said, it would make sense for Carter to be prioritized at some point, meaning managers will want to keep a close eye on his role as we enter the silly season.

Rare appearance in loss Carter contributed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 11 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Carter shifted into the rotation, taking advantage of what ended up being another blowout loss for the Kings. While there is a chance Carter will slide into a more meaningful role at some point, that point is not now. He has seen the court only twice in the past 12 games, scoring seven points in 18 minutes. For now, he is simply a name to monitor moving forward.
