Injuries

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings injury report is a total calamity for tonight’s contest according to Basketball Monster. I will break it down by injury status in an attempt to make things as clear as possible.

Rudy Gay and Malachi Richardson are the only two players listed as out as of this writing.

The Sacramento Kings have listed four players as doubtful for tonight. Garrett Temple, Ty Lawson, Kosta Koufos, and Anthony Tolliver all draw the doubtful tag due to rest. Doubtful implies that these players only have a 25% chance of suiting up tonight.

The Kings have three players listed as probable on their injury report. Arron Afflalo, Darren Collison and Tyreke Evans all draw this designation due to rest. The probable tag means they have a 75% chance of suiting up tonight.

The Sacramento Kings are bound to rest a few players in this contest. I will give my thoughts on who will rest tonight later in this article, but be sure to check just before tipoff to get the final and accurate information.

Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have a clean injury report heading into this game. The team has shut down Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, and Tyson Chandler in an effort to play their young players and build for the future, but that is old news. Expect a similar rotation to their recent games and the Suns to bring the fight to what could be an undermanned Kings squad.

Stay Alert

As always, be sure to check twitter or watch the pregame show to get the definitive word on who is out tonight and any late-breaking tidbits that will increase your viewing pleasure tonight.
