Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings injury report is once again lengthy and messy for this game.  According to Basketball Monster, seven players are on the report tonight.  Let us break down the report by designation in order to help sort it out.

Three players have already been ruled out for tonight’s game.  Rudy Gay, Malachi Richardson, and Anthony Tolliver will not suit up tonight.  You know about Gay and Richardson, but Tolliver is a new name to this list.  Tolliver is expecting the birth of a child and will not travel make the trip to LA according to Matt George.

The Kings list four players as questionable for this game.  Arron Afflalo (rest), Tyreke Evans (rest), Kosta Koufos (rest), and Darren Collison (migraine) all draw the questionable tag meaning they are 50-50 to play as of this writing.

The King will rest players in this game.  No player is safe tonight even the young talent.  It is the second of a back-to-back and the last thing you want is the player you are banking your future on going down with a catastrophic injury.  Expect the unexpected tonight Kings fans.

LA Clippers

The LA Clippers have just two players listed on their injury report, according to Basketball Monster.  Both Austin Rivers (hamstring) and Diamond Stone (knee) are listed as out for this game.
