Kings' Kevin Huerter Sidelined with Shoulder Injury
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter suffers a left shoulder injury early in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies, casting uncertainty on his immediate playing future.
- Kevin Huerter was injured just over a minute into the first quarter of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, following a foul by Desmond Bane.
- Huerter, after the incident, was seen cradling his arm and had to leave the game, not returning for the remainder of the match.
- The injury comes shortly after Huerter returned to the lineup from a right leg contusion that caused him to miss a previous game.
- Keon Ellis is expected to fill Huerter's starting position if he is unable to play in upcoming games, having a 6-0 record as a starter this season.
- Huerter's absence could impact the Kings significantly, given his average of 10.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists this season, along with his instrumental role in ending the team's playoff drought last season.
