Solid line in return Lamb (ankle) finished with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 20 minutes Thursday in the Kings' 128-110 loss to the Nuggets. Impact Lamb missed the Kings' final three games before the All-Star break with a sore left ankle, but he received the green light to play as Sacramento opened its second-half schedule. He immediately stepped into a rotation role and produced a decent stat line, but his playing time and output could be volatile on a game-by-game basis. He'll be one of several guard/wing players competing for minutes in any given game, with Donte DiVincenzo, Davion Mitchell and Justin Holiday also in the mix.
