Kevin Huerter News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Wakes up with 22 points Huerter totaled 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 win over the Suns.

Impact Huerter stepped up after DeMar DeRozan (back) exited the game and blew well past his previous season high with 22 points. While Heurter has held on to a starting role with Sacramento, his production has been spotty in recent weeks. DeRozan has inherited a sizable role in the offense that his limits Huerter's involvement, but he has the ability to pop with double-digit totals on occasion.

Set to play Thursday Huerter (shoulder) will play in Thursday's season opener against Minnesota, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter was spotted in a full-contact practice jersey Wednesday while running with the starters, serving as confirmation following a full practice Tuesday. Prior to suffering a shoulder dislocation in March, Huerter averaged 10.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists while connecting on 36.7 percent of 5.6 threes per game across 58 starts.

Logs full practice Tuesday Huerter (shoulder) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter missed the entire preseason schedule while working his way back from left shoulder surgery. However, the sharpshooter appears to be close to full strength with the regular season on deck. When healthy, Huerter should push Keon Ellis for the starting shooting guard spot, which the former occupied last season.

Won't face Clippers Huerter (shoulder) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Clippers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Trail Blazers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter was cleared for full-contact activity Friday, though the club is still expected to slowly work him back to playing form. The Kings are optimistic that the sharpshooter will return by Opening Night, and he could see some limited playing time during the remainder of the preseason. Huerter's next chance to suit up in the preseason will come against the Jazz on Tuesday.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for full contact Huerter (shoulder) has been cleared for full-contact court activity and will enter the final stage of his recovery process, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact The Kings are being very cautious with Huerter's recovery process, and he's inching closer and closer to being available. The veteran shooting guard won't be available to face the Warriors on Friday, but it seems there's a shot he might be able to play at least a few minutes in the preseason before the Kings open the regular season against the Timberwolves on Oct. 24. The Kings still have three preseason contests left after playing Golden State on Friday.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for preseason opener Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Warriors.

Impact Huerter has been increasingly more involved at practice, but he's yet to be cleared for 5-on-5 activities and will be unavailable for the Kings' preseason opener. Huerter is recovering from a procedure in April that repaired his torn left labrum. While the 26-year-old seems close to gaining 5-on-5 clearance, it's unknown when he'll be ready to play in games. Sacramento's next exhibition comes Friday at Golden State.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to progress Huerter (shoulder) was able to increase his activity at Tuesday's practice as he continues to progress to full-contact work, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Huerter suffered a labral tear to his left shoulder back in March, and while he's been limited to open training camp, all signs point to a return in the near future. The next step is getting clearance for 5-on-5 activities, but it's unclear when he'll be able to make his preseason debut.
