Malik Monk - Won't return Sunday Monk (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Monk will miss a sixth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. He participated in non-contact drills during Thursday's practice, and he'll have to ramp up to team drills and scrimmages before returning to action. It's unlikely Monk would be available for the second leg of the Kings' back-to-back Monday against the Thunder.

Norman Powell - Remaining sidelined Sunday Powell (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game versus the 76ers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Powell's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to a left hamstring strain. The veteran guard's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Boston.

Jordan Miller - Filling in for Powell in rotation Miller tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 13 minutes in Friday's 104-88 win over the Kings.

Impact While Amir Coffey has slid into the injured Norman Powell's (hamstring) spot in the starting five for the past two games, Powell's absence has opened a spot in the rotation for Miller, a two-way player who has seen limited opportunities at the NBA level over his first one-plus seasons in the league. Miller has performed well in his brief run in the rotation thus far, as he previously turned in eight points, three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 16 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Magic. The Clippers are expecting Powell back at some point during their upcoming four-game road trip that begins Sunday in Philadelphia, so despite his solid showing off the bench the last two games, Miller's run in the rotation could soon come to an end.

DeMar DeRozan - Rough shooting night in return DeRozan (lower back) tallied 16 points (6-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 104-88 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The Kings didn't limit DeRozan's playing time in his return from a three-game absence due to the lower back injury, but the typically efficient forward struggled to find a rhythm both from the field and the free-throw line. In spite of the off night, DeRozan is still converting on 50.7 percent of his field goals and 82.3 percent of his free throws for the season, so fantasy managers shouldn't panic too much about the lack of efficiency in his first game back. He'll get Saturday off to recover before the Kings begin a back-to-back set Sunday versus the Nets.

Derrick Jones Jr. - Snaps shooting slump Friday Jones supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 104-88 win over the Kings.

Impact The journeyman forward broke out for one of his best offensive performances so far in 2024-25, but it comes on the heels of a four-game stretch in which he shot 36.4 percent from the floor while failing to top eight points in any of the contests. Jones is still headed for the best season of his career as a strong three-and-D presence in the Clippers' starting five, averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting 42.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Ivica Zubac - Double-double in Friday's win Zubac had 10 points (5-8 FG), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 104-88 victory over the Kings.

Impact The veteran center pulled down double-digit boards for the fifth straight game and the 15th time in 17 contests to begin the season. Zubac's inconsistent offense has led him to only 10 double-doubles, but he's still on track for a breakout campaign, averaging 15.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor. He may be able to find another gear, too -- his 57.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line is well below his career 73.1 percent mark.
