The Toronto Raptors, who begin a three-game road trip against the Kings on Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena, are another team with a depleted roster, but the Kings also have some injury concerns of their own.
Following his dislocation of his left shoulder during Monday’s victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Kevin Huerter has been ruled out by the Kings.
Trey Lyles is still sidelined due to a sprained left knee. Sasha Vezenkov’s status has been changed from out in the clear for over five weeks to questionable due to a sprain to his right ankle.
Scottie Barnes (fractured left hand), RJ Barrett (personal), Chris Boucher (MCL), D.J. Carton (ankle), Jakob Poeltl (hand), and Immanuel Quickley (personal) are all out for the Raptors.

SACRAMENTO SCOUTING The Kings have won nine of 14 games and five of seven to climb to sixth place in the tightly contested Western Conference chase for the last automatic postseason position.
