The Sacramento Kings finally got back in the win column with a 125-102 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Now, they sit in a virtual tie with the Dallas Mavericks for the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
Tonight, the Kings will try to sweep their season series against the best team in the Eastern Conference: the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But who will they have available to them for this game? What about the Cavaliers? Here is the full injury report ahead of this cross-conference showdown.
Sacramento Kings Injury Report
Outside of a few brief rough patches, the Kings have been a pretty healthy team for most of the season. On the year, they have the second-fewest dollars lost from player injuries of any team in the NBA (per Spotrac). Lately, though, their luck hasn't been so great, as the team has been regularly had two or three rotation-level players listed on their injury report.
In this game, the Kings are in jeopardy of missing two rotation players. One we know will be out for certain is Jake LaRavia, who is listed as "out" with a thumb injury. On March 28, it was reported that LaRavia would be re-evaluated in seven to ten days. It has been almost ten days since that report, so we should expect to see LaRavia soon.
The other rotation player in question here is Keegan Murray. Murray is listed as "questionable" with back soreness. In general, when a player is listed as probable, that means that they have a roughly 50/50 chance of playing in that game. Murray has played in 74 of the Kings' first 77 games this year.
Outside of those two, both Mason Jones and Isaiah Crawford are listed as "out" due to their G-League obligations.
Cleveland Cavaliers Injury Report
The Cavaliers have also been pretty healthy this year, as they have the sixth-fewest dollars lost to player injury. And as it stands, none of their four best players (Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen) are listed on their injury report.
Still, the Cavaliers have five names posted on this sheet. Key rotational players Ty Jerome (knee) and Dean Wade (illness) are both listed as "questionable." Meanwhile, Emoni Bates, Luke Travers, and Nae'Qwan Tomlin all won't play because of their G-League obligations.
After this game, the Kings will jump on a plane for their second leg of a road back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons (Monday, April 7).
