KZ Okpala - 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.

Malik Monk - Starting Friday Monk is starting at shooting guard in Friday's preseason game against the Lakers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Monk is gettin the starting nod over Kevin Huerter (ankle). He is expected to provide a spark off the bench and add backcourt depth once the regular season tips off.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Huerter - Won't play Friday Huerter (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason matchup with the Lakers.
Impact Huerter also did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury he suffered in Wednesday's preseason win over the Suns. His status for the team's regular-season opener against Portland next Wednesday is uncertain. Huerter is in line to be the Kings' starting shooting guard when he returns.
OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Murray - Out Friday Murray (illness) will not play in the Kings preseason finale versus the Lakers.
Impact Murray has been battling an illness and will not play Friday as a result. The issue does not figure to impact his status entering the season, as Sacramento is presumably exercising caution with its first-round pick.

NBA Preseason Survey: Lakers, Nets have biggest boom-or-bust potential
Jeriah Horne - Signs with Kings Horne signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Sacramento on Friday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Horne played collegiately at Tulsa and will join the Kings with under a week remaining until the start of the regular season. He'll suit up for Friday's preseason game against the Lakers but will likely begin the regular season in the G League.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex O'Connell - Joins Sacramento O'Connell signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Kings on Friday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact O'Connell played for the Kings during Summer League and will now get his opportunity at the next level after agreeing to the Exhibit 10 deal Friday. The Creighton product will reportedly suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers and could ultimately end up with the Kings' G League affiliate for 2022-23.

Gameday live: Updates on Kings' Murray, Holmes, Huerter; Westbrook's odd fit with Lakers The Kings could welcome back Keegan Murray and Richaun Holmes while people question Russell Westbrook’s fit with the Los Angeles Lakers.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • SACBEE.COM
Kevin Huerter - Doesn't practice Thursday Huerter didn't practice Thursday due to ankle soreness, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Huerter was announced as the Kings' starting shooting guard last week, and he tallied 13 points, four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over the Suns. However, he sustained an ankle injury during the narrow victory. It's unclear whether the issue will impact the 24-year-old's availability for Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers or Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Murray - Resumes practicing Murray (illness) returned to practice Thursday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Murray missed Wednesday's preseason matchup with the Suns due to a non-COVID illness. It is unclear if Murray will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers. However, the 2022 No. 4 pick returning to practice is a good sign of his availability for the team's regular-season opener against Portland on Oct. 19.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Richaun Holmes - 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.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Ford - Signs with Sacramento Ford signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Kings on Thursday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Impact Ford spent the entire 2021-22 campaign in the G League and will likely head there once again when the regular season gets underway this year. Over 31 games with the Agua Caliente Clippers last year, Ford averaged 9.7 points, 3.4 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game.

Impact Bazemore is an NBA journeyman who has played on five teams in 10 seasons. Last season, the veteran averaged 3.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 steals in 14.0 minutes across 49 games for the Lakers. Bazemore will likely look to join a team looking for dependable outside shooting.

Keegan Murray - Won't play Wednesday Murray (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Murray missed Tuesday's practice due to a non-COVID illness, and he'll remain sidelined Wednesday as the Kings face the Suns in their penultimate preseason game. Murray's next chance to return to the court will be for Friday's preseason finale against the Lakers, but if he doesn't feel better by then, he will likely be considered questionable ahead of next Wednesday's season opener against the Trail Blazers.
OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Richaun Holmes - Won't play Wednesday Holmes (illness) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against Phoenix, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.
Impact Holmes is currently dealing with a non-COVID illness and will not be available in the team's preseason contest. It seems as though a bug has hit the Kings, as Keegan Murray is also out due to a non-COVID illness.

Richaun Holmes - Doesn't feel well after practice Holmes (illness) went through practice Tuesday but didn't feel well toward the end, and his status for Wednesday's preseason game against the Suns remains unclear, Deuce Mason of N...
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.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Murray - Doesn't practice Tuesday Murray didn't practice Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Murray has been stellar during his first preseason action, but he may be sidelined for Wednesday's exhibition against the Suns due to an illness. Teammate Richaun Holmes recently missed about a week with a non-COVID illness as well, so that seems like a reasonable timetable for Murray too. If that's the case, the rookie first-round pick's availability for the Kings' season opener against the Trail Blazers on Oct. 19 may be in jeopardy.
