Impact Len was a late scratch Wednesday afternoon due to an illness. The veteran big man hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 1, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Sacramento's game plan.

Late scratch Wednesday Len has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a non-COVID illness.
Returns to bench Wednesday Len isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Impact Domantas Sabonis will replace Len in the starting five Wednesday after missing Tuesday's contest with a thumb injury. The 29-year-old big man may be entirely out of the rotation, as he is averaging only 4.3 minutes across nine games this season.

Flops in Tuesday's spot start Len closed with two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 loss to Denver.
Impact Len was given the starting nod after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out due to his finger injury but managed just 14 minutes. In reality, Len was a starter by name only, affording the majority of the minutes to Richaun Holmes and Trey Lyles. Based on this performance, Len can safely be sent back to the fantasy waiver wire.

Starting Tuesday Len is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Denver, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact With Domantas Sabonis out with a fractured thumb, Len will make his first start of the season. Len has totaled just 11 points and nine rebounds in eight previous outings.

Not listed in injury report Len (illness) is not listed in the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Len has not featured in any of Sacramento's last five games, but the fact that he wasn't included in the injury report for Monday suggests he should be available to take on Charlotte. Even if he's available, Len shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Absence continues Len (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Pistons as he is not with the team.
Impact Len will miss his fifth consecutive game Friday, and it is not apparent when he will rejoin the team. His next chance to play will be Monday's game against Charlotte.

Won't play Tuesday Len (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Len will miss a second straight game due to an illness. However, he hasn't been a part of Sacramento's regular rotation all season long, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on the Kings.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Monday Len (illness) didn't practice Monday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Len sat out Sunday's game against New York due to a non-COVID illness, and his absence from Monday's practice doesn't bode well for his status for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. However, his status shouldn't significantly impact Sacramento's rotation.
DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out Sunday Len won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID-19-related illness.
Impact Len hasn't been a member of the Kings' rotation all season and wasn't used off the bench in the team's last game Friday in a 106-95 win over the Cavaliers, so his absence Sunday shouldn't affect how the minutes are distributed in the Sacramento frontcourt.
DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Gets light run Monday Len amassed zero points (0-1 FG) across two minutes during Monday's 115-108 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Len has been a non-factor for Sacramento thus far, operating as the third traditional big behind Domantas Sabonis and Richaun Holmes. Even if a bigger role became available, Len generated negative wins above replacement for the Kings last season and remains offensively limited.

Hits for 15 against Magic Len finished with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-110 overtime win over the Magic.
Impact With Domantas Sabonis (knee) sidelined, Len has returned to the Kings' rotation the last couple games, and Saturday he was able to score in double digits for the first time since he posted a double-double against Portland on Jan. 9. Len has a little value right now as a bargain DFS option, but if Sabonis is able to get back in the lineup before the end of the season, that value would evaporate.
