Kings' Keon Ellis: Available vs. Chicago
Ellis (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Ellis is dealing with a shoulder issue, but that won't stop him from playing in the second game of a back-to-back set. The Alabama product is averaging 7.8 points and 2.0 rebounds per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from beyond the arc over the course of the first four games of the 2025-26 campaign.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Questionable with sore shoulder
Ellis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls with left shoulder soreness.
Ellis is in danger of missing the second end of Sacramento's back-to-back set. If the defensive-minded swingman cannot give it a go, Russell Westbrook would likely see more playing time and carry enhanced streaming appeal.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Moving to bench Tuesday
Ellis won't start in Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
After starting Sunday's loss to the Lakers, Ellis will move to the bench in favor of Russell Westbrook against Oklahoma City. Ellis has averaged 6.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals while shooting 53.8 percent from the field in 16.0 minutes per game across three regular-season outings (one start) this season.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Starting Sunday
Ellis will start Sunday's game against the Lakers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Ellis gets his first start of the season due to Keegan Murray (thumb) and Nique Clifford (hamstring) being out of the lineup. Ellis has averaged 6.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 15.0 minutes per game through two contests, but he should be in line for a larger role Sunday.

Kings' Keon Ellis: With reserves in opener
Ellis isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Phoenix, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Ellis was in contention for a starting spot after Keegan Murray (thumb) went down, but Sacramento is inserting Nique Clifford into the starting lineup Wednesday, instead. Still, Ellis should play a sizeable role off the bench. The 25-year-old averaged 20.7 minutes per game last season when coming off the bench.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Drills six threes from bench
Ellis logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 117-166 preseason win over the Lakers.
Ellis is making a case for the first unit, but his spot may be at the whim of how the scheme fits with coach Doug Christie's plans. Zach LaVine is versatile enough to hold down a wing position, but his presence there would force DeMar DeRozan (groin) into a larger frontcourt role that would be better served by someone like Keegan Murray (thumb). Since Murray's debut is still weeks away, we could see a lot more from Ellis to begin the regular season, but he'll still be pushed by Malik Monk for minutes at off-guard. Ellis avoided an injury scare during the preseason finale after colliding with Marcus Smart, but the youngster stayed in the game and is expected to be 100 percent for Opening Night.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Team option picked up
The Kings exercised their $2.3 million team option in Ellis' contract Sunday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Ellis will return to Sacramento for a fourth season following a career-best year in 2024-25. The 25-year-old guard averaged 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in 80 regular-season appearances (28 starts) last season. He also recorded impressive shooting splits of 48.9/43.3/84.9.

Kings' Keon Ellis: Gets in foul trouble
Ellis ended Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to the Mavericks with nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 18 minutes.
Ellis picked up four fouls in 18 minutes, limiting his output Wednesday. Ellis' third NBA season was something he'll be proud of, however, as he recorded multiple career-high marks -- across 80 regular-season games, he averaged 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 48.9 percent shooting from the field.
