Overview
- Ellis logged a season-high 21 points with three steals and two blocks in Sacramento’s 113-107 win over Dallas after re-entering the starting lineup.
- Murray has been diagnosed with a right calf strain expected to sideline him for at least a week, creating the opening that returned Ellis to starter minutes.
- Los Angeles has been linked to Ellis in recent weeks after being priced out on Herb Jones, according to reporting from Brett Siegel.
- The Athletic’s reporting cited a relatively low asking price for Ellis, with a protected first-round pick mentioned, and his expiring $2.3 million deal appeals to multiple teams.
- An anonymous GM told Heavy that widespread interest exists in Ellis and reports suggest Sacramento could become a seller, though no trade has been agreed.
