Impact Barnes suffered the quad injury in the third quarter of Monday's loss to the Hornets. The veteran hasn't missed a game yet this campaign and has missed a total of just five games dating back to last year.

Harrison Barnes - Questionable Wednesday Barnes (quadriceps) is questionable Wednesday versus the Lakers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Domantas Sabonis - Deemed questionable Wednesday Sabonis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to left hand soreness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Sabonis likely suffered the injury sometime during his monster 28-point, 23-rebound, seven-assist performance against the Hornets on Monday. The center is officially deemed questionable and will likely be a game-time call ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Lakers. If Sabonis is held out, Chimezie Metu will presumably garner the start.

Trey Lyles - Grabs one board in five minutes Lyles chipped in one rebound over five minutes during Monday's 125-119 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Lyles didn't score and grabbed just one rebound across five minutes, his fewest since Nov. 13. In December, the backup forward is averaging 2.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 10.7 minutes across seven appearances, including two healthy DNPs.

Keegan Murray - Scores 11 points, adds little else Murray ended Monday's 125-119 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 31 minutes.
Impact Murray tied for fourth on Sacramento with 11 points in the loss, with all but two of that total coming from three-point range. However, he missed both of his free-throw attempts and notched only one board along with zero assists, though he did record a steal and a block. Murray has done some good things this season with 11.9 points, 4.3 boards and 2.2 three-pointers per game, though he's a fringe top-150 performer due to a 43 percent shooting mark from the field and modest peripheral stats.

Domantas Sabonis - Notches massive double-double Sabonis recorded 28 points (12-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 23 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Monday's 125-119 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Sabonis put up season highs with 28 points and 23 boards in the loss, and he came close to a triple-double by adding seven assists. This was his third 20-20 effort of the campaign, two of which have come in his past three games. Sabonis has recorded eight consecutive double-doubles, and he leads the NBA in that category with 21 on the campaign.

De'Aaron Fox - Racks up 37 points in loss Fox ended Monday's 125-119 loss to the Hornets with 37 points (14-25 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes.
Impact Fox couldn't lead Sacramento to victory Monday, but he nonetheless continued to emerge from his recent slump, leading the Kings with 37 points on an efficient 14-of-25 performance from the field. The point guard added five boards, though his two assists were well below his season average of 5.6 dimes. Prior to missing two games with a foot injury, Fox had hit a cold spell, averaging just 15.0 points on 40.0 percent shooting over five games. However, he's turned things around in four contests since his return, posting 25.3 points on a 45.1 percent shooting mark.

Davion Mitchell - Expected back Monday Mitchell (illness) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Mitchell sat out Friday against Detroit due to an illness, but after a pair of off days he looks to be recovered and is not included on the Kings' initial injury report for Monday's contest. The 2021 first-round pick has not been viable in most fantasy leagues this season. Over his last nine games, he's averaging just 5.7 points, 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds per game while shooting 37.0 percent from the floor.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Len - Not listed in injury report Len (illness) is not listed in the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Len has not featured in any of Sacramento's last five games, but the fact that he wasn't included in the injury report for Monday suggests he should be available to take on Charlotte. Even if he's available, Len shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.

Chimezie Metu - Scoreless in win Metu finished with zero points (0-3 FG), one rebound and one steal across four minutes during Friday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Metu only saw four minutes of playing time and missed all three of his shot attempts. He's almost completely fallen out of the rotation at this point and doesn't garner any fantasy relevancy outside of the deepest of leagues.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Huerter - Returns from injury Huerter notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.
Impact After missing one game (ankle), Huerter played well in 29 minutes on Friday night. It was a typical line for the 24-year-old guard who is averaging 15.2 points on 47.1 percent shooting this season, both of which are career highs.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Domantas Sabonis - Seventh straight double-double Sabonis ended with 23 points (9-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Friday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Sabonis has been a fantasy monster lately. His performance Friday night gave him his seventh double-double in as many games. His shooting efficiency has been incredible lately and he's even contributing decent defensive stats. During the month of December, the two-time NBA All-star is shooting an impressive 73.2 percent, and is averaging 20.3 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
De'Aaron Fox - Leading scorer in win Fox closed with 24 points (9-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 122-113 win over Detroit.
Impact After scoring 20-plus points on a fairly consistent basis during the first month of the season, Fox's scoring production recently started seeing a decline. However, the former Kentucky guard has put up at least 24 points in two straight games this week, including a game-high 24 on Friday. He's still struggling with efficiency, but he's also produced 19 assists and 11 rebounds over the past two games as well.
