Kings lose leading scorer Zach LaVine to left ankle injury vs. Timberwolves
LaVine, averaging 20.6 points per game, was ruled out after landing awkwardly on his left foot during a drive, impacting the Kings who were already shorthanded.
- On Sunday, Zach LaVine suffered a left-ankle injury midway through the second quarter and the Sacramento Kings ruled him out for the remainder of the game.
- LaVine landed awkwardly on his left foot during a drive, converted the flip shot and three-point play, then stayed on the floor about three minutes before going to the locker room for evaluation.
- Heading into Sunday, LaVine averaged 20.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists, finishing with ten points on 4-8 shooting and plus-six through 16 minutes.
- With Sabonis already out nearly a month and Eubanks sidelined, the Kings are shorthanded for the remainder of that matchup and have three days off before facing the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
- LaVine's status clouds roster decisions and trade calculus, as the Sacramento Kings have tried to move him due to his large contract and some suggested this injury could signal the end of his time in Sacramento.
