The latest Injury Report for the Kings and the Warriors
FOR THE KINGS
The Sacramento Kings (48-32, 45-35 ATS) are in shambles after Wednesday’s 123-119 loss on the road against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Kings have dropped three in a row and four of their previous six contests.
They’ve lost at home most recently against the San Antonio Spurs (in overtime, 142-134) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (119-115).
Fox‘s status for Friday’s match against the Warriors is in doubt due to left ankle pain.
Fox, apparently suffering from an ankle injury, is one of seven Sacramento players listed as questionable for the game.
If he can’t play, the workloads of Davion Mitchell (knee), Malik Monk (lower leg), and Terence Davis may increase.
Since the Kings have already secured a playoff spot, they may want to save their best players for the postseason.
Sabonis’s Friday availability will impact Alex Len and Chimezie Metu’s playing time.
With a 3.5-game lead over the Phoenix Suns, the Kings have moved up to third place in the Western Conference.
They can still make a run at second place, but only if the Memphis Grizzlies lose their next two games. In their final two games, the Kings must overcome Golden State and Denver.
Despite boasting the league’s best offense, the Kings give up 116.8 points per 100 possessions (119.9). (Twenty-fifth best in the league).
Let’s keep going with the injured list for the Kings before of their game on Friday against the Warrior.
- Trey Lyles (Shoulder): Game Time Decision
