Set to start Wednesday Okpala will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact With Keegan Murray (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable for Wednesday's contest, Okpala will get the start at power forward in his absence. In 21 appearances with the Heat last season, Okpala averaged 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game. He figures to shift back to a reserve role once Murray is cleared to return.

Says he'll play in opener Huerter (ankle) told the media he'll play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Portland, James Ham of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento reports.
Impact Huerter was listed as questionable coming into the day due to a sore left ankle, but he assured reporters that it won't keep him out of the lineup on Opening Night. The ex-Hawk is expected to hold down the starting shooting guard spot alongside De'Aaron Fox to begin the season. Huerter closed last season averaging 12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 made threes per contest.

Impact Although Murray will be unable to make his NBA debut Wednesday, he's back with the team and participated in Wednesday's shootaround.

Ruled out Wednesday Murray (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as out for Wednesday's season opener versus Portland.
Impact Murray remains in the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Wednesday's game, so the 2022 No. 4 pick will have to wait until at least Saturday versus the Clippers to make his NBA debut. With Murray out, Terence Davis, KZ Okpala and Trey Lyles are all in contention for his starting spot.
OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for season opener Huerter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Impact Huerter was originally expected to play Wednesday but is now questionable due to left ankle soreness. If he does not play, Malik Monk, Terence Davis and Davion Mitchell are in line for increased roles against Portland.
OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to be available Wednesday Huerter (ankle) is expected to play during Wednesday's opener against the Trail Blazers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Huerter should be considered probable until an official injury report drops. He'll start at shooting guard for the Kings after spending the past four years with the Hawks.
OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doesn't practice Tuesday Murray (COVID-19 protocols) wasn't present at practice Tuesday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Murray tested into the league's health and safety protocols last week after missing the Kings' final two preseason games due to what was originally thought to be a non-COVID illness. The rookie first-round pick has remained away from the team since entering protocols and will likely be sidelined for Wednesday's regular-season opener after not practicing Tuesday. Murray's next chance to suit up will come Saturday, but even if he's cleared ahead of the game, he'll likely have to log at least one full practice before making his NBA debut.

Practices Monday Huerter (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Huerter missed Sacramento's preseason finale on Friday but was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Monday. The 24-year-old was seen doing push-ups instead of sprints at practice, indicating he may not be 100 percent quite yet. While his status is up in the air for Wednesday's season opener against the Trail Blazers, Huerter remains the intended starting shooting guard for the upcoming campaign.

Impact While Murray has missed the last two preseason games due to a supposed non-COVID illness, it is unclear if he has now tested positive for the virus. Regardless, the 2022 No. 4 pick's status for Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Portland is in question.

Gets the nod Friday Okpala will start in Friday's preseason matchup with the Lakers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Okpala will get the start Friday with Keegan Murray (illness) out. The fourth-year forward out of Stanford will look to get more playing time with the Kings than he did with the Heat, as he only appeared in 63 games over three seasons. Okpala will be one of the Kings' primary backup forwards this season.
