SACRAMENTO KINGS NEWS

Davion Mitchell - Posts 18 points in relief Mitchell finished Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Nets with 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact Mitchell was the direct replacement for De'Aaron Fox (ankle) in the lineup, and the talented rookie came through with one of his better performances this season. His 19 shot attempts marked his highest shot volume of the season, and although he failed to get anything going from three-point range, his increased opportunity helped him reach a respectable fantasy total. Mitchell's output should remain high during Fox's absence.

Chimezie Metu - Records double-double from bench Metu finished with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over the Nets.

Impact With Marvin Bagley (ankle) sidelined, several big men in the rotation needed to pick things up, and Metu was the biggest beneficiary. Metu was instrumental to Sacramento's production throughout January but regressed a bit after two absences last week. The new injury scenario provides a better opportunity for Metu, who should be considered in deep formats while Bagley is out.

Tyrese Haliburton - Leads late charge for the win Haliburton finished Wednesday's 112-101 win over the Nets with 12 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, 11 assists and four steals across 40 minutes.

Impact Haliburton scored seven of his 12 points in the final stanza on the way to his 13th double of the season. The Iowa State product continues to work overtime with De'Aaron Fox (ankle) out and is picking up the slack in the assist column. Over his past six contests, Haliburton has averaged 8.7 assists per game.

De'Aaron Fox - Out Wednesday Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Fox will miss a sixth consecutive game due to left ankle soreness. Davion Mitchell is likely to see extended opportunities in his absence. Fox's next chance to return will come Thursday against the Warriors.

De'Aaron Fox - Will be game-time decision Fox (ankle) remains a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Fox has missed the last five games due to a sore left ankle, and interim head coach Alvin Gentry confirmed that he'll be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Brooklyn. If Fox can't go, Davion Mitchell would likely see a boost in minutes alongside Tyrese Haliburton in the Kings' backcourt.

De'Aaron Fox - MRI comes back clean Fox remains questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nets, but he said after shootaround that he had an MRI on his sore left ankle during his absence that revealed no struc...

Impact The MRI results obviously bring optimism, but there still isn't an official timetable for Fox's return. The star point guard has been listed as questionable for each of the past four contests, so there hasn't been much progress since he was initially a late scratch ahead of a Jan. 22 loss to the Bucks. The injury couldn't have popped up at a worse time for Fox, who had averaged 23.7 points, 5.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds over his last 10 games before being sidelined. If he's out again Wednesday, his next chance to suit up will be the second half of the Kings' back-to-back Thursday in Golden State.

Terence Davis - Season likely over Davis (wrist) underwent surgery Tuesday and is out for a minimum of three months, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Unless the Kings make a surprise playoff push, Davis' season is effectively over because of the ECU tendon injury. If we've seen the last of him, he'll have finished the year appearing in 30 games, with averages of 10.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.9 minutes.

Marvin Bagley III - Out again Wednesday Bagley (ankle) is out Wednesday against the Nets.

Impact Because of a sprained left ankle, Bagley will sit out a second straight game. Maurice Harkless will presumably draw another start.

De'Aaron Fox - Questionable vs. Nets Fox (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets.

Impact Fox has missed the past five games with left ankle soreness and will presumably warm up before the game to determine his availability. If he does return, he could have a minutes limit.

Davion Mitchell - Makes mark in blowout loss Mitchell closed Monday's 116-96 loss to New York with 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and two blocks in 34 minutes.

Impact Mitchell got the start for the third straight game as the Kings continue to operate without De'Aaron Fox (ankle). Mitchell has been impressive during the three-game stretch, averaging 17.7 points, 5.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers per contest. He'll almost certainly see a reduced role whenever Fox returns, though it's unclear how long the star point guard will be out.

Tyrese Haliburton - Leading scorer in loss Haliburton logged 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and eight assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 116-96 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The Kings were missing De'Aaron Fox (ankle) for the fifth straight contest, again opening things up for Haliburton on offense. His scoring output was significantly below the 38 points he poured in Saturday but still led the team in a blowout loss. Haliburton is most effective when Fox sits out, but he has proven to be a strong fantasy asset no matter the situation, with per-game averages of 14.4 points, 7.2 assists, 3.9 boards, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.6 steals on the campaign.

Maurice Harkless - Starting Monday Harkless will start Monday's game against the Knicks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento reports.

Impact With Marvin Bagley (ankle) out, the Kings will shuffle the lineup and go with Harkless at power forward alongside Richaun Holmes and Harrison Barnes. Harkless has been in and out of the rotation for much of the season, but he's played at least 12 minutes in each of his last four appearances. Nonetheless, he's not much of a fantasy option in most formats.

De'Aaron Fox - Still out Monday Fox (ankle) won't play Monday against the Knicks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Fox will be sidelined for the fifth consecutive game as he continues to manage soreness in his left ankle. Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to split point-guard duties in the meantime for Sacramento.

JANUARY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

De'Aaron Fox - Questionable again Monday Fox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Knicks.

Impact Fox has missed four straight games due to left ankle soreness and is in danger of missing a fifth. He's listed as questionable for the third straight contest after being a late scratch against the Bucks on Jan. 22. If he's unable to suit up again, Tyrese Haliburton should continue to be the primary beneficiary.
