Impact Holmes has missed the last two games due to an illness, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Monday. However, his status shouldn't significantly impact the Kings' rotation.

Questionable against New Orleans Holmes (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against New Orleans.
Out Saturday Holmes (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Holmes will miss a second straight game due to an illness. However, he's a fringe option for coach Mike Brown at this point, so his absence shouldn't affect the rotation.

Downgraded to out Holmes (illness) won't play in Friday's game versus the Clippers.
Impact Holmes has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to a non-COVID illness. His absence is unlikely to affect Sacramento's rotation. Holmes' next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Minnesota.

Questionable Friday Holmes is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers with a non-COVID illness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Holmes has appeared in just three games since Jan. 25 and appears to be an afterthought in head coach Mike Brown's rotation. Although Holmes has shown the ability to be a strong fantasy option when given the opportunity, he is well outside of fantasy consideration when the Kings are healthy in the frontcourt.

Shines in place of Sabonis Holmes ended Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Lakers with 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes.
Impact Holmes moved into the starting unit for the first time Wednesday after Domantas Sabonis was ruled out due to a non-COVID illness, and the former came through with his best game of the campaign. Holmes logged season highs in both scoring and rebounding en route to his first double-double since December of 2021, and he finished with a perfect shooting effort from both the field and the charity stripe. Sabonis' absence doesn't figure to be a lengthy one, so Holmes is only a short-term streamer in fantasy.

Starting Wednesday Holmes will receive the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Holmes will earn his first start of the season Wednesday with Domantas Sabonis sidelined due to a non-COVID illness. Per 36 minutes, Holmes has averaged 11.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks and is worth a speculative look as a streaming option.

Upgraded to available Holmes (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Holmes has been cleared for Friday's game after initially being listed as questionable with an illness. However, the backup big man didn't appear in either of the Kings' previous two games despite being healthy, so it's unclear if he'll crack the rotation against Washington.

Impact Holmes was added to the injury report Thursday with a non-COVID illness but was able to participate in Friday morning's practice. However, Holmes has been a fringe rotation piece for Sacramento, so his potential availability would likely have minimal fantasy impact.

Handed questionable tag Holmes is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a non-COVID illness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Holmes will likely see how he feels during morning shootaround and potentially pregame warmups before a decision on his availability for Friday is made. He's been struggling to see playing time of late due to his spot in the rotation, so it wouldn't impact Sacramento's game plan much if he's unable to go.

Minimal results Wednesday Holmes chipped in two points (1-2 FG) across three minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Holmes hasn't been part of the Kings' rotation recently, and he's appeared in just three of the team's last six games. He's made just seven appearances since Nov. 15 and has averaged 2.3 points in 4.9 minutes per game during that time.

Not included in injury report Holmes (illness) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Holmes missed Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID-related illness, but he was spotted in practice Saturday and looks to be back to full health. Even though he'll suit up Sunday, Holmes may find himself outside of the rotation, as Chimezie Metu had supplanted him as the Kings' backup center before Holmes sat out Thursday.

Returns to practice Holmes (illness) participated in Saturday's practice after missing the Kings' most recent contest, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Holmes has not been a part of Sacramento's nightly rotation for the last couple of weeks in competitive games, but after missing Thursday's game due to a non-COVID illness, it seems he'll be available for Sunday's matchup against the Pistons. Whether he regains a spot in the rotation upon his return is unclear but unless an injury opens up a larger role for him, Holmes can be ignored in nearly all fantasy formats.

Out Thursday Holmes will miss Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID illness, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
Impact Holmes pops up on the injury report as out for Thursday's contest due to an illness. However, he holds a minor role for Sacramento as a backup center, averaging 4.1 points in 12.0 minutes per game. Chimezie Metu is likely to receive slightly increased playing time Thursday, and Holmes' next chance to play will be Sunday against the Pistons.

Empty minutes Thursday Holmes produced one rebound in eight minutes during Thursday's 125-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Coming off a season-high 15 points against the Warriors, Holmes logged a season-low eight minutes in this one and failed to get on the scoreboard for the first time in 2022-23. He picked up three fouls in his eight minutes, which may explain why he was on the floor for such a short span. He's clearly behind Domantas Sabonis in the pecking order at center and ceded some additional minutes to Chimezie Metu on Thursday, so things are trending in the wrong direction.

Strong scoring effort Holmes racked up 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Holmes had attempted just three field goals through 28 minutes across two contests prior to Sunday's outburst. The bench unit featuring Holmes, Malik Monk and Keegan Murray marked a huge reason Sacramento cut the final deficit to five after trailing by 18 at halftime. That being said, it's unclear if Holmes' performance will unlock additional usage.

Logs 13 minutes in win Holmes (illness) recorded seven points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes in Friday's 133-86 exhibition victory over the Lakers.

Returns to practice Thursday Holmes (illness) returned to practice Thursday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Holmes has been dealing with an illness for a week, but it's encouraging that he was able to take part in practice Thursday. It's not yet clear whether he faced any limitations during Thursday's practice session, and his status for Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers remains to be seen. Either way, it won't be surprising to see him available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Holmes has been sidelined for about a week due to a non-COVID illness, but he returned to practice Tuesday, though it doesn't sound like the session went smoothly. If the talented big man doesn't travel with the team to Phoenix, he'll set his sights on playing Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers.
