Impact Jones has been largely left out of Sacramento's rotation this season, averaging just 7.1 minutes across 21 appearances. However, the rookie guard should receive increased opportunities while in the G League.

De'Aaron Fox - Not on injury report Fox (shoulder) isn't listed on the Kings injury report for Thursday's game against San Antonio.
Impact Fox said Tuesday that he had been battling a right shoulder injury recently, however, the injury will not have an impact on his availability for Thursday's game. With Domantas Sabonis (illness) doubtful to face the Spurs, Fox could see a spike in usage if Sabonis sits.

Domantas Sabonis - Unlikely to go Thursday Sabonis (illness) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Sabonis was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice due to a non-covid illness and is trending toward being held out of Kings' first game following the All-Star Break. While Sabonis hasn't missed a game this season, expect Sacramento to deploy a mix of Trey Lyles, Alex Len and JaVale McGee at the center position Thursday if Sabonis sits.

Domantas Sabonis - Absent from practice Sabonis didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Impact Sabonis' absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Thursday's game versus the Spurs. If the star big man is ruled out, Trey Lyles, Alex Len and JaVale McGee are candidates to receive increased playing time.

De'Aaron Fox - Dealing with minor shoulder issue Fox acknowledged Wednesday he's been dealing with a minor right shoulder injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Fox said he hasn't had an MRI yet because the pain hasn't been that serious yet, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried, but it's still something to monitor. The point guard has also dealt with lingering ankle soreness stemming from a sprain that caused him to miss five games at the beginning of the season, but he's missed only one game outside of that absence. After a minor shooting slump, Fox finished the first-half schedule strong, totaling 70 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists and five steals over Sacramento's final two games before the All-Star break.

Keegan Murray - Posts six in win Murray put up six points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 35 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 victory over the Nuggets.
Impact Murray has been ice cold from three recently, averaging a meager 17.6 percent from beyond the arc in his last eight games. Sacramento has had no hesitation pulling some minutes from him in favor of players like Trey Lyles if he performs poorly, and this may be the case if he continues to do so after the All-Star break.

Kevin Huerter - Solid showing in win Huerter put up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 102-98 victory over the Nuggets.
Impact Huerter has been a consistent contributor in Sacramento's starting lineup this season, averaging 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks over 29.6 minutes in his last 16 games. Although he has been cold from three (20.0 percent in his last five games), look for him to get back on track against the Spurs on Thursday.

Chris Duarte - Drills three-pointer in light run Duarte scored three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and grabbed a rebound over eight minutes of court time in Wednesday's 102-98 win over the Nuggets.
Impact Duarte didn't play in Tuesday's 130-125 loss to Phoenix after being cleared to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain, but the swingman cracked the rotation Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. Though he was able to knock down a three-pointer on his limited time on the court, Duarte isn't a lock to be a fixture on head coach Mike Brown's second unit when the Kings return to action coming out of the All-Star break.

Trey Lyles - Questionable for Wednesday Lyles (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Lyles missed Tuesday's game due to illness, and his minutes were divvied up between Harrison Barnes, Alex Len and Kessler Edwards. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Wednesday, but with no shootaround on the second leg of a back-to-back, Lyles will essentially be a game-time call.

Malik Monk - Boosts offense off bench in loss Monk produced 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns.
Impact Monk led all Kings bench players in scoring to go along with a half-dozen assists and a quartet of rebounds to spark Sacramento's second unit in a losing effort. Monk has surpassed the 20-point mark in 18 contests this season, including in six of his last seven games.

Impact Sabonis impressed while leading all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high trio of blocks en route to ending as one of two Kings players with 35 or more points in a triple-double outing. Sabonis has recorded at least 35 points in two games this season, adding at least 10 boards and 10 assists in both of those games. He has tallied a triple-double in 18 outings, including in five of his last six appearances.

De'Aaron Fox - Does it all in 40-point performance Fox ended Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns with 40 points (14-31 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in 40 minutes.
Impact Fox led all players in Tuesday's contest in scoring and threes made while ending one rebound shy of a double-double to go along with a half-dozen assists and a team-best trio of threes in an all-around showcase. Fox has surpassed the 40-point mark in six games this season, including in two of his last six contests. He hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total, a feat Fox has accomplished twice this year.
