Injuries
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings have four players listed on their injury report. Rudy Gay and Malachi Richardson are out for the season and this game. According to Basketball Monster, Arron Afflalo (personal) and Tyreke Evans (rest) are listed as probable to play tonight.
The Kings are bound to hang the dreaded rest tag on a few players tonight. Stay tuned for the announcement, but I would not be surprised to see Kosta Koufos being on the list. I could be wrong and other players could also be involved so make sure you check before the game gets underway.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz have a hefty injury report tonight, so let us start with the players who have been ruled out for tonight’s game. Derrick Favors (bone bruise) has been ruled out for this contest according to Basketball Monster. It has been a strange season for Favors hampered by injuries. It will be interesting to see if he can bounce back next season.
The Jazz have two other players who are listed on their injury report. Gordon Hayward is listed as questionable with a quad bruise and Alec Burks is probable with a personal matter. Hayward appears to be 50-50 as of this writing and Burks should play barring something unforeseen happening.
Stay Alert
As always, be sure to watch the pregame show or check twitter to get the final statuses on Afflalo, Evans, Hayward, and Burks. You should also be on the lookout for which of the Kings are resting tonight and what that means for the players who are suiting up. Be sure to check it out.
