Sacramento Kings News and Rumors - NBA

Devin Carter - 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.

Devin Carter - Added to injury report Carter (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Carter is a late addition to the Kings' injury report due to lower-back soreness. His potential absence would free up some minutes at point guard for Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk.

Patrick Baldwin Jr. - Lands two-way deal with Sacramento Baldwin signed a two-way contract with the Kings on Sunday.

Impact The fourth-year forward will fill the Kings' third and final two-way slot, which opened up when Dylan Cardwell was upgraded to a standard NBA contract earlier this month. Sacramento marks the third stop of the season for Baldwin, who previously made three appearances at the NBA level over the course of 10-day deals with the Clippers and 76ers. Baldwin saw limited playing time with those two clubs but could have a clearer path to meaningful minutes on a Kings squad that lost four players to long-term injuries following the All-Star break.

Killian Hayes - Gets 10-day deal with Sacramento The Kings signed Hayes to a 10-day contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Hayes has spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Cleveland Charge after failing to make the Cavaliers' 15-man squad at the end of training camp in mid-October. In the G League, he is averaging 23.1 points, 8.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 threes and 1.7 steals over 31.8 minutes per game. Hayes -- who was selected by the Pistons with the No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft -- appeared in six regular-season games (five starts) for the Nets during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 9.0 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 threes over 27.0 minutes per game. He'll have the chance to establish a role for himself in the Kings' rotation now that Zach LaVine (finger) and De'Andre Hunter (eye) are both out for the rest of the season.

Kings' starting lineup woes perfectly demonstrate everything wrong this season The intended starting lineup for the Sacramento Kings never played a minute together, perfectly showing how broken the team is.

DeMar DeRozan - Ties for team lead with 20 points DeRozan closed Saturday's 139-122 loss to the Spurs with 20 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes.

Impact DeRozan will serve as one of Sacramento's best scoring options as they plod through the rest of the season woefully undermanned. Zach LaVine (finger) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) are done for the year, and despite DeRozan's efforts, the 16-game losing streak was extended with no end in sight. The sorry state of affairs makes Sacramento players risky fantasy calls in the second half of the season, but DeRozan's high volume will keep him relevant down the stretch.

Keegan Murray - Turns in 20 points Murray finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 139-122 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Murray tied DeMar DeRozan for the Kings' highest scoring total. With Zach LaVine (finger) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) done for the season, there's tremendous pressure on Murray to carry a heavy load on both sides of the ball. While heavy usage should be expected nightly for Murray if he stays healthy, his lack of support may negatively affect his ability to post consistent totals down the stretch.

De'Andre Hunter - Done for the season Hunter is set to undergo season-ending eye surgery, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

Impact Hunter only managed to suit up for two games for Sacramento before opting to undergo a season-ending procedure on his eye, but this shouldn't be something that impacts his status for next year's training camp. Hunter will end his 2025-26 campaign with averages of 13.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 triples per game.

De'Andre Hunter - Won't play Saturday Hunter (eye) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in San Antonio.

Malik Monk - Plays well in return Monk recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and two assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to Orlando.

Impact With Zach LaVine (hand) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the season, Monk is a candidate to see increased usage down the stretch. An illness sidelined Monk for the Kings' final three games before the All-Star break, but he saw a modest workload Thursday with the team getting blown out by Orlando.

Russell Westbrook - Quiet in loss Westbrook produced five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic.

Impact Westbrook missed the Kings' final game before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness, and despite reprising his role in the starting lineup, the veteran saw a reduced workload as his team was blown away early. With the Kings not playing for much down the stretch, it will be interesting to see if Westbrook's role is impacted.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Keegan Murray - Hits for 15 in return Murray totaled 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic.

Impact Seeing his first action since Jan. 4 after recovering from an ankle injury, Murray was dropped right back into the starting five and saw a full workload. With Domantas Sabonis (knee) set to miss the rest of the season, Murray will be the key figure for the Kings in their frontcourt. On the season, the fourth-year forward is averaging 14.6 points, 6.3 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.4 threes and 1.1 steals over 20 games.

Maxime Raynaud - Big double-double in loss Raynaud finished Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic with 17 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes.

Impact The 17 points led the Kings on the night, while the double-double was Raynaud's ninth of the season. Three of them have come in the last eight games, and with Domantas Sabonis (knee) done for the season, Raynaud is in line to handle a big role the rest of the way. Over that eight-game stretch (seven starts), the rookie center is averaging 13.1 points, 9.3 boards, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 63.4 percent from the floor.
