Sasha Vezenkov Drops CAREER-HIGH in W over Phoenix | 12.8.23

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Scores season-high mark Vezenkov supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and five rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 131-117 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Vezenkov has endured quite a few ups and downs to start his NBA journey, though there have been more downs and ups thus far. After all, he has yet to start a game, and this was the first time he logged more than 20 minutes. Fortunately for him, he made his presence felt and also notched his best scoring mark of the campaign. However, until his role changes and he can see more minutes on a regular basis, he is going to remain a non-factor in most fantasy formats outside of extremely deep leagues with category-based scoring.

Impact Vezenkov, Chris Duarte (thumb) and Trey Lyles (calf) are all expected to play despite being listed as questionable, while Keegan Murray (back) is trending in the wrong direction. If that holds true, Duarte would presumably take Murray's spot in the starting lineup, while Vezenkov would be a candidate for increased usage off the bench.

Now questionable for Wednesday Despite being left off the injury report earlier, Vezenkov is now listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans due to left thumb soreness.

Impact Vezenkov is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a thumb injury. With Chris Duarte (hand) also questionable, Kessler Edwards could be in store for extended minutes if both players are ruled out.

Out Monday Vezenkov will not play Monday against New Orleans.

Impact Vezenkov will be sidelined due to left thumb soreness. He has averaged a modest 14.0 minutes per game across 11 appearances the season, but Harrison Barnes should see an uptick in usage. Kessler Edwards could be utilized in a second unit.

Questionable for Monday Vezenkov is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans with left thumb soreness.

Impact Vezenkov usually sees minutes in the teens for the Kings and provides solid floor spacing. If he's unable to play Monday, we could see more of Kessler Edwards.

Coming off bench in opener Vezenkov won't start Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Vezenkov started the Kings' preseason finale with Keegan Murray (illness) sidelined but will head back to the bench for the regular-season opener. He's expected to play a prominent role as a reserve in 2023-24.

Scores 13 points Thursday Vezenkov notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and six rebounds across 21 minutes in Thursday's 116-113 preseason win over the Jazz.

Impact Vezenkov started with Keegan Murray (illness) sidelined, and the rookie made the most of the opportunity, putting up decent numbers and draining three of his eight attempts from beyond the arc. Vezenkov's main strength is his shooting ability, and while he'll open the season as a bench option, his scoring prowess will ultimately decide both his long-term role and potential fantasy upside.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Vezenkov will start Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Vezenkov moves into the starting lineup because Keegan Murray is under the weather and taking the night off. Vezenkov has shot the ball poorly in preseason play so far, so this is a big opportunity for him to make his case for a rotation spot.

Inks three-year deal with Kings Vezenkov has agreed on a three-year, $20 million contract with the Kings, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact At 27-years-old and a two-time MVP of the Greek League, Vezenkov is expected to play a formidable role with the Kings right away. He is a sharpshooting 6-foot-9 forward with a career 40% average from deep, as well as an efficient 63% from two-point range. It remains to be seen how he will adapt to the NBA game, but depending on how the Kings use him, he could hold some fantasy value in the upcoming season.
