Keon Ellis News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Records three steals Ellis notched five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and three steals over 16 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 win over the Jazz.

Impact Ellis finished one theft short of his career-high mark of four steals. His role and production is trending in the wrong direction to start December, as he's averaging 4.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 14.0 minutes over his last four games.

Back to bench Ellis will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Spurs, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Ellis had started the last three games but he will be moved back to a bench role with Malik Monk and Demar DeRozan filling in the starting lineup. Ellis has averaged 9.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game over his last five games coming off the bench.

Returns Monday Ellis (leg) has returned to Monday's game against the Thunder with 1:37 remaining in the third quarter, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Ellis checked back into the game nearing the end of the third quarter after a brief exit, during which he limped back to the locker room. The 24-year-old guard started for just the second time of the season Monday, and he should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

Heads to locker room Monday Ellis (leg) went back to the locker room in Monday's game against the Thunder, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Ellis came up limping and went straight back to the bench before heading to the locker room with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter. The 24-year-old guard started for just the second time of the season Monday, and if he is unable to return Kevin Huerter will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Starting Monday vs. OKC Ellis will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Thunder, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact In a last-minute lineup change, Kevin Huerter will retreat to the bench in favor of Ellis. In his last five outings, the 24-year-old guard has averaged 9.2 points and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 52.0 percent from downtown across 21.0 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores career-high 33 points Ellis chipped in 33 points (9-17 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Ellis pulverized his previous career-high scoring mark and looked impressive off the bench in this game despite the fact the Kings suffered a one-point defeat. This performance came out of nowhere, though, as Ellis was averaging just 5.9 points per game since the beginning of November entering Monday's eight-game slate. Thus, fantasy managers shouldn't go crazy picking up Ellis from waivers. He's expected to remain a bench option and not much else for the Kings going forward.

Plays 28 minutes off bench Ellis posted six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime win over the Suns.

Impact With Malik Monk (ankle) leaving the contest early, Ellis saw an increased role off the bench but failed to capitalize. The defensive-minded guard can rack up steals quickly but has a limited offensive upside.

Returning to bench Ellis will come off the bench Wednesday versus Toronto.

Impact Ellis is supplanted by Kevin Huerter in his return to the starting lineup. Ellis is averaging 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.0 blocks in 21.0 minutes across his last three games off the bench.

Makes impact defensively Ellis posted seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 111-110 victory over the Heat.

Impact With Kevin Huerter (illness) sidelined, Doug McDermott surprisingly started Saturday's game against the Raptors, but Ellis got his chance Monday. Ellis' defensive work has always been stellar, but his offensive upside remains limited due to an inconsistent shot. Given Huerter is expected to return soon, Ellis' stay in the starting lineup likely won't last long.

Starting Monday Ellis is in the Kings' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Heat, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Ellis will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Monday as he takes Doug McDermott's spot in the starting five. Early in the season, Ellis is averaging 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals over 17.8 minutes per contest.

Efficient scoring in win Ellis had 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Friday's 123-115 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Ellis had his best scoring output of the season during Friday's win. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 15.5 minutes across his first four appearances in 2024-25. With Kevin Huerter (illness) out against Toronto on Saturday, Keon Ellis could slide into the starting five.

Impact Ellis saw an uptick in minutes and production during his second year with the club, during which he averaged 5.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals across 17.2 minutes per game in 57 appearances (23 starts). The 24-year-old missed significant time due to an ankle injury and carved out an inconsistent role in his return. However, as the season progressed the guard became a mainstay in the starting five. Malik Monk seems to be content with a role as the Kings' Sixth Man, meaning Ellis will have an opportunity to prove he is worth the starting role -- at least until Huerter returns.

Impact Ellis closed the 2023-24 season in the starting lineup for Sacramento, but the Kings opted to give Ellis more time to refine his game in Summer League. Over three games in the California Classic, Ellis averaged 20.3 points 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists during 29.0 minutes.
