Drops 23 points in loss DeRozan logged 23 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Lakers.

Impact DeRozan's impact on the Kings was felt immediately in the preseason, and he's posted two superior totals to begin the season.The outlook for the Kings is bright with the addition of DeRozan, as the team now has four players with very reliable floors who could pop for slate-breaking stat lines on any given night.

New-look Bulls make 21 3s vs. Bucks as they move on from the DeRozan era

Coby White and the Chicago Bulls know they’re going to have to find different ways to win this season now that they no longer have six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan and his mid-range...

Leads team with 26 points DeRozan racked up 26 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-14 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact We saw glimpses of how DeRozan would be utilized in the preseason, but few expected him to outscore De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis in the opener. Although the Kings were unable to fend off the late charge by the Timberwolves, the team looked more cohesive with DeRozan on the floor .Sabonis, Fox and Keegan Murray all enjoyed solid performances alongside him, and it's safe to move forward with the assumption that DeRozan will be a consistent top-three scoring option for Sacramento moving forward.

Not on injury report DeRozan (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Kings' injury report for Thursday's regular-season opener against Minnesota.

Impact DeRozan was absent from practice Friday for undisclosed reasons, but he'll be good to go for Sacramento's season opener. The 35-year-old is entering his 16th campaign and averaged 24.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 combined steals-plus-blocks in 37.8 minutes per game in 2023-24.

Absent from practice Friday DeRozan (undisclosed) is not with the team and was absent from Friday's practice, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact DeRozan isn't with the Kings due to undisclosed reasons, though it is not expected to be a long-term absence. The veteran's status could be something to monitor ahead of the club's regular-season opener next Thursday, but he is expected to suit up and make his Kings debut.

Logs five steals in defeat DeRozan totaled 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and five steals in Tuesday's 117-114 loss to the Jazz.

Impact DeRozan could be the missing piece the Kings are searching for, but it will take some time for the veteran to fully realize his role. The Kings saw the benefit of a blue-chip scorer at the wing during Donte DiVincenzo's brief tenure with the team two seasons ago, and although Malik Monk has often given the team a spark with the second unit, the team has struggled with a proper first-unit combination for some time. If anything, DeRozan will help take the heat off De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, which Kevin Huerter and Harrison Barnes were unable to achieve consistently.

Limited impact in preseason loss DeRozan had eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Sunday's 108-85 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact DeRozan had a subpar performance Sunday from a scoring perspective, but neither the Kings nor the veteran forward should be overly worried about his numbers on a preseason game with the start of the new campaign right around the corner. DeRozan should be one of the most important players for the Kings in 2024-25 alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.

Perfect from field with 16 points DeRozan logged 16 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), an assist and a blocked shot across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 122-112 loss to Golden State.

Impact In what could be a portent of things to come, DeRozan took the court and inflicted damage quickly, nailing every shot he attempted. While the Kings have utilized Malik Monk as a scoring specialist off the bench in the past, DeRozan's skill and experience make him a front-runner to start with the first unit and stay there. The Kings have had issues with finding the right combination to complement De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, and DeRozan could prove to be the missing piece.
