Kings' Keegan Murray: Out 4-6 weeks
Murray will undergo surgery after tearing the UCL ligament in his left thumb and will be sidelined for four-to-six weeks, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
This is a tough blow for Murray and the Kings. Based on this timetable, Murray will likely be sidelined until at least Nov. 14 against the Timberwolves. That's the front end of that timetable, however, and that means a minimum of 10 regular-season games on the shelf. In Murray's absence, the Kings could roll with a smaller lineup by moving DeMar DeRozan over to the four, and it could create more opportunities for guys like Nique Clifford, Malik Monk and Keon Ellis.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Hanpered by foul trouble in loss
Sabonis produced eight points (3-11 FG, 2-3 FT, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot over 17 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
Sabonis started cold and couldn't get anything going in the narrow loss, and was eventually pulled in favor of backups after racking up five fouls. His tepid showing is no cause for alarm, and it serves the Kings better to test out their bench rather than playing Sabonis for maximum minutes in the preseason. When the regular season begins, he will once again be a nightly double-double threat.

Kings' DeMar DeRozan: Low total in loss
DeRozan logged 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-1 3Pt) and a rebound across 23 minutes in Friday's 124-123 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
Friday's mediocre total is what to expect from DeRozan and the rest of the starters throughout the preseason, as they will play well under their usual allotment of minutes. As one of Sacramento's best offensive weapons, DeRozan will be a consistent contributor who can be acquired a little later than one might think in fantasy drafts. The veteran averaged a respectable 22.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3-9 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 77 games last season.

Kings' Dario Saric: Posts 14 points in 14 minutes
Saric recorded 14 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 4-4 3Pt) over 14 minutes during Friday's 124-123 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
Saric did nothing under the basket in the narrow loss, but he flashed his perimeter skills with four drained three-pointers. The veteran center has often shown off his ability to sink the deep ball throughout his career, but the Kings need him to serve as a backup to Domantas Sabonis, and he'll need to post a higher rebound total on a regular basis to overtake Drew Eubanks, who seems to have a firm handle on the role. After a disappointing stint with the Nuggets last season, his chances for quality playing time aren't much better in Sacramento.

Kings' Nique Clifford: Scores 15 off bench in loss
Clifford finished with 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 124-123 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
Clifford led the way off the bench, as one of only two Kings -- Zach LaVine being the other -- to score 15 or more points Friday. The rookie guard was given the time to show what he could do during this one-point loss, playing a team-high 26 minutes.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Drops 19 in loss
LaVine finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-123 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
LaVine was highly efficient in the shooting department, especially from beyond the arc, going 62.5 percent from deep. The veteran scorer has been efficient over the past two preseason games, shooting an impressive 66.6 percent from the field during that short span.

Kings' Keegan Murray: Exits game with thumb injury
Murray exited Friday's exhibition with a left thumb injury, and he will not return, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Hopefully, this is just a minor thumb issue, but the timing isn't ideal, with the regular season just a few weeks away. The Kings don't play again until Wednesday against the Clippers, but don't be surprised if Murray skips that one to ensure his thumb can fully recover. His absence would open up some minutes for Dario Saric and Isaac Jones.

Kings' Mitch Mascari: Signs with Kings
Mascari signed a deal with the Kings on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
A two-time Division II champion, Mascari made 42.4 percent of nearly 600 career 3-point attempts over his college career at Northwest Missouri State and Drake. This is likely an Exhibit 10 contract, meaning the Kings are looking to secure his G League rights.

Kings' Nique Clifford: Dishes out nine assists
Clifford finished with 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 120-122 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Clifford came one assist shy of recording a double-double, as he provided a spark off the bench. The Colorado State product also made an impact during the Las Vegas Summer League, showing the ability to fill up the stat sheet, especially crashing the glass and as a distributor.

Kings' Dylan Cardwell: Solid results from bench
Cardwell provided 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and a blocked shot over 14 minutes in Wednesday's 130-122 preseason loss to the Raptors.
The Auburn product inked a two-way deal with the Kings, and although the 6-11 rookie will likely toil with the G League this season, he made a strong case for consideration as Domantas Sabonis' backup during Wednesday's loss. That role appears to be Drew Eubanks' to lose, with Dario Saric also waiting in the wings. Cardwell has the potential to be called up if the backups struggle with their support roles.

Kings' Zach LaVine: Solid total in preseason win
LaVine finished with 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 FT, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 130-122 preseason loss to the Raptors.
LaVine's results were significant considering his 15 minutes of work in the defeat. He embarks on his first full season with the Kings after coming over from Chicago at the trade deadline, and he immediately formed a nice synergy with the rest of the roster upon arriving. He was a great complement to former teammate DeMar DeRozan, who both provided offensive support during the team's push for a playoff spot. The team will experience some adjustments under new head coach Doug Christie, but LaVine's role will remain unchanged.

Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Scores team-high 19 points in loss
Sabonis supplied 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 FT, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocked shots, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 130-122 preseason loss to the Raptors.
Sabonis' participation will be limited in the preseason, and it will be rare to see a four-rebound total once the regular season kicks into gear. A slight dip in assists hurt Sabonis' triple-double potential last season, but the talented center beat out Nikola Jokic in that category two seasons ago and is poised to have another excellent season as Sacramento's centerpiece. He averaged 19.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 70 games last season.

Kings' Malik Monk: Bench role Wednesday
Monk will come off the bench during Wednesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
Monk will be in the second unit with Dennis Schroder getting the start in the backcourt. Monk is working his way back from a calf injury he suffered in April. The team may be bringing him along slowly during the preseason.

Kings' Dennis Schroder: Starting Wednesday
Schroder will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason opener against the Raptors, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.
It's the first game of the preseason, so we wouldn't overreact to Schroder getting the start ahead of Malik Monk. Joining him in the first unit will be Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis.

Kings' Malik Monk: Will play vs. Toronto
Monk (calf) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Monk suffered a calf injury in April, resulting in him missing the last four regular-season games of the 2024-25 campaign. He'll make his return to the floor during Wednesday's preseason game, which is a great sign for his squad. He played in 65 regular-season games last season, averaging 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, which were career-high numbers in all three categories, while shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from three-point range.

Kings' Dexter Dennis: Inks training camp deal
The Kings signed Dennis to a training camp contract Saturday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.
Dennis will likely suit up for the G League's Stockton Kings for a second straight season if unable to secure a spot on Sacramento's roster. He played in 47 games with Stockton during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Kings' Jaylin Williams: Inks Exhibit 10 deal
The Kings signed Williams to an Exhibit 10 contract Saturday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Williams will try to earn a roster spot over the course of training camp and throughout the preseason. He'll likely suit up for the G League's Stockton Kings for the upcoming season. During the 2024-25 campaign, Williams played in 41 games for the Grand Rapids Gold, averaging 8.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 53.4 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Nelson will try to earn a roster spot over the course of training camp and throughout the preseason. He'll likely suit up for the G League's Stockton Kings for the upcoming season. During the 2024-25 campaign, Nelson played in 42 games for the Austin Spurs, averaging 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 28.3 percent from three-point range.
