Overview
- Kevin Huerter is likely to miss the rest of the season after sustaining a left shoulder dislocation and labral tear in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
- The Sacramento Kings are currently sixth in the Western Conference, half a game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.
- Treatment options for Huerter are still being evaluated, with no set timetable for his return.
- Keon Ellis will continue to start in Huerter's absence, with the Kings maintaining a 7-0 record with Ellis in the starting lineup.
- Huerter's injury is a significant blow to the Kings, who are striving to secure a playoff berth without one of their key contributors.
