Overview
- Sacramento is “open for business” with inquiries welcomed on veterans across the roster, per reporting from Jake Fischer on Marc Stein’s Substack.
- Keegan Murray and rookie Nique Clifford are designated as untouchable as GM Scott Perry is portrayed as leaning toward a multiyear rebuild.
- The posture comes a day after a 128-123 upset win in Denver that ended an eight-game skid, leaving the Kings 4-13 following a 41-point loss to Memphis.
- Domantas Sabonis is expected to miss roughly a month with a partial left meniscus tear, and he is not expected to request a trade, according to Fischer.
- On-court fit issues persist as lineups with DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have a minus-21.6 net rating, while rival interest has grown in two-way guard Keon Ellis.
