Kevin Huerter News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Available to face Knicks Huerter (leg) is available to face the Knicks on Saturday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Huerter was initially listed as questionable after missing the Wednesday win over the Lakers, and the veteran shooting guard will be available for this one, meaning he should handle his regular workload as a starter. Huerter has been struggling of late, however, as he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range since the end of the All-Star break.

Questionable for Saturday Huerter (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Huerter is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a bruised right leg. More light should be shed on his status once he begins to test his leg out during pregame warmups. If he is ultimately unable to play, Chris Duarte and Keon Ellis are prime candidates to benefit from his absence.

Full go at practice Huerter (leg) was a full participant during Friday's practice, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 report.

Impact Huerter was sidelined for Wednesday's win over the Lakers but is trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Knicks. The sharpshooter has struggled lately, averaging just 6.1 points while shooting 25 percent from three over his last seven appearances.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Lakers Huerter (leg) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Huerter has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a right leg contusion. Chris Duarte and Keon Ellis will likely continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Huerter's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Huerter is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a right leg contusion.

Impact Huerter must have been hit in the leg during Tuesday's game and he's feeling it now. Since Wednesday's game comes as the second of a back-to-back, there will not be a shootaround, so Huerter is essentially a game-time call. If he's not able to give it a go, Keon Ellis, Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte would be asked to pickup the slack.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in win Huerter ended Thursday's 131-129 victory over the Spurs with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 16 minutes.

Impact From Jan. 14 through Feb. 26, Huerter averaged 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks while shooting 43.7 percent from deep. However, since then, the sharpshooter is averaging just 5.2 points in 20.4 minutes per game while shooting 32.4 percent from the field. If his shot isn't falling, coach Mike Brown tends to give more minutes to Keon Ellis, Davion Mitchell and/or Chris Duarte, but if they continue to split time, none of the Kings' backup guards will have fantasy value.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes 21 points to cause Huerter finished Thursday's 127-122 win over the Spurs with 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.

Impact Huerter posted his highest total in over a month during the victory. The former first-round pick has been the Achilles heel of the Kings' starting lineup, and while he occasionally shows flashes similar to Thursday's total, he's endured some horrible slumps. From late December to mid-January, Huerter scored in double-digits only once over a 10-game stretch. His shot volume was up in Thursday's win, which is an encouraging sign.

Solid showing in win Huerter put up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Huerter has been a consistent contributor in Sacramento's starting lineup this season, averaging 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks over 29.6 minutes in his last 16 games. Although he has been cold from three (20.0 percent in his last five games), look for him to get back on track against the Spurs on Thursday.

Impact With the Kings facing a double-digit deficit with a minute to play, Huerter's ejection will likely have no rotational impact. Huerter's next chance to play will come Friday against Denver.

Stays relevant in win Huerter notched 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 133-122 win over Indiana.

Impact Huerter scored double-digits for the eighth time in the past nine games, continuing arguably his best stretch of the season. He has been a top 75 player over the past month, averaging 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.5 triples. He doesn't offer a lot outside of points and threes, but does just enough in both assists and steals to warrant a roster spot, at least while his shot is dropping.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Stays hot from deep Huerter finished with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Huerter has posted 50.0 percent shooting on 8.0 threes per game across his last six contests, sparking Sacramento's offense to the level of production that carried them to the playoffs last year. An exploitable matchup awaits on Monday against the shorthanded Grizzlies.

Ignites with double-double Huerter registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 victory over Golden State.

Impact Huerter has had a rough run of subpar games, but his 26-point tear against the Bucks earlier in the month signaled a possible resurgence. He kept things going with a 31-point result against the Pacers, but with seven consecutive single-digit games beginning in late December, it's difficult to depend on him as a reliable scorer for fantasy purposes at the moment.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Nets career-high 31 points in loss Huerter provided 31 points (11-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 126-121 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Huerter was red-hot from behind the arc Thursday, knocking down a season-high seven triples en route to a career-best 31 points. This was the veteran guard's second big performance over his past three games, as he posted 26 points with six triples in a loss to Milwaukee on Sunday. Huerter is prone to go cold at any moment -- prior to the outburst against the Bucks, he had averaged just 6.1 points on 36.8 percent shooting over his previous 12 games -- but as long as he's getting minutes and rolling offensively, he's worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Heats up with 26 points Huerter amassed 26 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 143-142 overtime loss to Milwaukee.

Impact This was a performance that was long overdue for Huerter. He reached 26 points for the third time this campaign in the loss, and his 10 rebounds mark a new season high. Even if you include this outburst, Huerter's averages in January are pretty underwhelming with 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 triples.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Sunday Huerter (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Huerter will return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain after suffering the injury in the opening minutes of Wednesday's win over Charlotte. He had made his second straight start Wednesday prior to his early departure, and given the brevity of his absence, Huerter may end up sticking on the top unit over Chris Duarte now that he's seemingly healthy again.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Milwaukee Huerter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Huerter is in danger of missing his second straight game Sunday due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Charlotte. Chris Duarte will likely continue to start if Huerter is ruled out.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Huerter left Wednesday's win over Charlotte early due to a left ankle sprain and will miss at least one additional contest. Chris Duarte should start in Huerter's absence, but Malik Monk is also a candidate for increased usage off the bench.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Huerter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus Philadelphia.

Impact Huerter is in danger of missing Thursday's contest due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Charlotte. Chris Duarte and Malik Monk are candidates to receive extended minutes if Huerter is ruled out.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return due to ankle Huerter will not return to Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Huerter was moved into the starting lineup ahead of Chris Duarte for Wednesday night, but he tweaked his ankle less than a minute into the game before limping off the court uncomfortably. Duarte and Malik Monk will likely see a bump in playing time the rest of the evening.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Tuesday Huerter will start Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact As expected, Huerter will reclaim his starting spot from Chris Duarte. It's been a struggle for Huerter thus far, averaging just 9.9 points and 1.8 made triples per game -- his worst marks since his rookie campaign, but it appears he still has coach Mike Brown's confidence.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing with starters Huerter wore a black jersey during Monday's practice, indicating a possible return to the starting lineup, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact After averaging 6.4 points on 36.0 percent shooting across an 11-game stretch, Huerter was benched in favor of Chris Duarte ahead of a Dec. 31 blowout win over Memphis. Huerter scored in single digits in each of his first four bench appearances, but he posted 17 points (6-10 FG) during Sunday's loss to New Orleans and played hard at the end of a blowout. Coming into the 2023-24 campaign, Huerter had averaged at least 2.0 made three-pointers per game in four straight seasons, including a career-high 2.7 last year, but it's been a struggle for him thus far, averaging just 9.9 points and 1.8 made triples per game -- his worst marks since his rookie campaign. Even if Huerter returns to form, he's best utilized as a three-point specialist in fantasy.
