Goes for 26 points off bench Huerter ended Sunday's 141-97 victory over Utah with 26 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes.

Impact Even though Malik Monk has taken over as Sacramento's starting shooting guard, Huerter certainly made the most of his minutes in this blowout win and led the team in scoring. The 26-point haul was a season-high mark for Huerter, who has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings. However, and despite the uptick in his play, he's not likely to return to the starting lineup any time soon.

Returns to action with 13 points Huerter chipped in 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 win over the Rockets.

Impact Huerter played 25 minutes in his return, but it may prove difficult to get his starting job back. Malik Monk has played well in his absence, and Keon Ellis has also made an impact. It will be interesting to see how the depth chart shakes out in the coming week, as Monk may be playing well enough to leave his role as the team's top sixth man.

Gets green light Tuesday Huerter (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter will return to action following a one-game absence in Sunday's loss to the Spurs after he sprained his ankle in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers. In his last five appearances (two starts), the 26-year-old averaged only 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds across 18.4 minutes per game.

Practices, questionable for Tuesday Huerter (ankle) was a full participant during Monday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sport...

Impact Huerter sprained his ankle against the Pelicans on Friday and didn't play Sunday versus the Spurs. While he'll likely be able to suit up this week, barring a setback, the sharpshooter has lost his spot in the starting lineup. Malik Monk will start at shooting guard moving forward, while Keon Ellis has also carved out a larger role recently.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday vs. Spurs Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Spurs, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter injured his right ankle during the Kings' loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday and will miss his first game since Nov. 4. With the 26-year-old guard sidelined, Keon Ellis is expected to start while Malik Monk and Jordan McLaughlin are candidates to receive an uptick in playing time off the bench. Huerter's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Rockets.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play vs. San Antonio Huerter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Huerter injured his right ankle during the Kings' loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, and he's not expected to suit up for Sunday's Western Conference clash. Malik Monk, Colby Jones and Jordan McLaughlin are candidates to see increased minutes if Huerter is ruled out.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Saturday Huerter (ankle) didn't practice Saturday and is expected to be listed doubtful to play Sunday against the Spurs, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Huerter exited Friday's game against the Blazers with a right ankle injury after being unintentionally tripped early in the second quarter, and the fact that he didn't practice Saturday suggests his chances of playing Sunday are slim. Even if he's deemed available, Huerter shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. He's been playing off the bench recently, with Keon Ellis taking over as the starting shooting guard in the team's last three games.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Friday Huerter won't return to Friday's game against the Blazers due to an ankle injury, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Huerter was tripped unintentionally in the early stages of the second quarter, and the fact that Huereter won't return suggests there's some concern level regarding his ankle. Huerter has been playing off the bench of late with Keon Ellis featuring as the starting shooting guard. It remains to be seen if Huerter will be forced to miss multiple games.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Shifting to bench Huerter isn't starting Monday's game against the Thunder, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter has started each of the 15 games he's appeared in this season, but the Kings have elected to shake things up by inserting Keon Ellis into the starting five. Huerter has averaged 33.0 minutes over his last five appearances, so he's still likely to see plenty of opportunities despite a move to the bench.

Wakes up with 22 points Huerter totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 win over the Suns.

Impact Huerter stepped up after DeMar DeRozan (back) exited the game and blew well past his previous season high with 22 points. While Heurter has held on to a starting role with Sacramento, his production has been spotty in recent weeks. DeRozan has inherited a sizable role in the offense that his limits Huerter's involvement, but he has the ability to pop with double-digit totals on occasion.

Iffy for Wednesday Huerter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors.

Huerter has started in all five of his regular-season appearances, during which he has averaged 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks across 26.0 minutes per game.
