TREY LYLES NEWS

Hauls in 11 rebounds off bench Lyles amassed seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 114-97 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Although Lyles fell just three points short of his second double-double of the campaign, he was still able to haul in double-digit rebounds for the first time since a Nov. 18 loss to Atlanta. The 29-year-old veteran big man has quietly been very effective off Sacramento's bench over his last eight appearances, as he's averaged 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 threes in 24.9 minutes while shooting 43.9 percent from three-point land. Lyles is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues while he's hot, but his upside will remain capped by the presence of a healthy Domantas Sabonis.

Provides spark off bench Lyles chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Lyles' four made threes accounted for 12 of Sacramento's 14 total bench points during Wednesday's victory. While the 29-year-old forward is shooting 39.0 percent from the field this season, he is converting 36.7 percent of his 4.1 three-point attempts per contest.

Props up frontcourt with 20 points Lyles supplied 20 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and eight rebounds in 25 minutes during Thursday's 114-113 loss to Detroit.

Impact Alex Len proved to be ineffective as Domantas Sabonis' (illness) direct replacement, prompting Lyles to step in and take a larger role. Point-for-point, Lyles has been a better option as Sabonis' fill-in throughout the season, though Len was probably a more logical player to size up against Jalen Duren. Lyles has floor-stretching ability and an accurate perimeter game that Len lacks, making him a more suitable pivot when Sabonis is off the court.

Good to go Sunday Lyles (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Indiana.

Impact Lyles will play in his second consecutive outing following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. It wouldn't come as a surprise if the big man operates under a minutes restriction, meaning Isaac Jones and Alex Len could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time.

Questionable Sunday Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers.

Impact Lyles made his return to game action in Saturday's loss to the Lakers following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. The big man will likely operate under a minutes restriction if he's made available, though it wouldn't come as a shock if he is held out of the second leg of the back-to-back set Sunday. With Lyles and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) both deemed questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len could see an uptick in playing time against Indiana.

Good to go Saturday Lyles (calf) is available for Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.

Impact Lyles has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday after missing Sacramento's last 10 games with a right calf injury. Even with Domntas Sabonis (back) questionable, Lyles will likely operate on a minutes restriction until he's able to handle a full workload.

Questionable to play Saturday Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Lyles suffered a Grade 1 right calf strain in late November, and he has been sidelined ever since. In the 10 games prior to his injury, he averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 23.0 minutes per game. If he's unable to play Saturday, his next opportunity to take the court would be Sunday against the Pacers.

Downgraded to out Lyles (calf) won't play Thursday against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Lyles was added to the injury report earlier in the day and has now been listed out for Thursday's action. He hasn't seen the court since Nov. 25 due to his current role in the rotation, so his presence shouldn't be missed much.

Late addition to injury report Lyles is deemed questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers due to right calf soreness, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Lyles missed Sacramento's last nine contests due to a left calf strain. While he was previously deemed available for Thursday, the 29-year-old forward will now go through pre-game warmups to determine his availability.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Lyles (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Lyles will return from a nine-game absence due to a right calf strain. His return comes at an opportune time for the Kings, as Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Thursday's contest. However, Lyles would likely be under a minutes restriction even if Sabonis is sidelined.

Logs full practice Wednesday Lyles (calf) logged a full practice Wednesday and there's optimism that he might be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 repo...

Impact Lyles has been trending in the right direction toward being available over the last few days, and a full practice Wednesday suggests the forward could be ready to go Thursday, assuming he doesn't have any setbacks. His return comes right at a time when Keegan Murray (undisclosed) and Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) could be in line to miss Thursday's contest, meaning Lyles could, at the very least, add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt.

Nearing return to game action Head coach Mike Brown said after Sunday's practice that Lyles (calf) is making good progress in his recovery, but the veteran big man remains uncertain to play during the Kings' fo...

Impact Though Lyles was sidelined for a ninth straight game in Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets, he's now reached the three-week mark in his recovery from the Grade 1 right calf strain he suffered in a Nov. 25 loss to the Thunder. Lyles' initial prognosis called for him to be evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, so the 29-year-old may have reached the day-to-day phase of his recovery. Ham notes that Lyles was on the floor taking part in shooting drills during Sunday's practice, though Lyles may need to take contact in practice before the Kings clear him to play again. Lyles appears unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, but a return at some point during the Kings' weekend back-to-back set could be more realistic.
