Impact Robinson was assigned to the G League on Thursday, but if he's still with Stockton, he would be marked as such on the NBA's official injury report, which isn't the case. It's unclear if Robinson will actually be available to make his season debut Friday, but it appears that could be a possibility.

Scores season-high 13 points Lyles racked up 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Lyles's efficient shooting from beyond the arc helped him record a season-high 13 points off the bench in Wednesday's blowout win over Phoenix. However, the 29-year-old forward is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from three in 2024-25.

Flirts with triple-double in win Sabonis finished Wednesday's 127-104 victory over the Suns with 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and one block over 30 minutes.

Impact Sabonis served as more of a ball distributor in the win, falling short of his 22-point performance against the Suns last Sunday. He was in danger of breaking his 10-game double-streak, but he grabbed three quick rebounds during his brief appearance in the fourth quarter.

Dominant double-double in win Fox registered 29 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 win over the Suns.

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.
