Upon further imagining, it was revealed that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-kevin-huerter-undergo-season-ending-shoulder-surgery">Huerter would need to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery</a> to repair his labrum.</p><p>In a total of 64 games last season, Huerter averaged 10.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 36.1 percent from three-point range. This was the lowest three-point shooting percentage of Huerter’s career, and his lowest scoring output since his rookie season.</p><p>Since being traded to the Kings from the Atlanta Hawks in 2022, Huerter has been a key shooting weapon on the wing. The Kings are hopeful that he will be able to return to full strength from this injury and once again be a shooting threat alongside All-Stars De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and DeMar DeRozan.</p><h2><b>Kevin Huerter’s role with Kings</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Kevin-Huerter.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Huerter will spend the next few weeks ramping up his activities in order to return to the court for actual games. When this occurs, it is certainly not a given that he will be a start for the Kings.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-player-shock-nba-breakout-2024-25-season">Keon Ellis stepped up in a big way for the Kings</a> near the end of the 2023-24 season, and many believe he will be the team’s starting shooting guard to begin the new year due to his defensive tenacity and toughness. DeRozan and Keegan Murray will be occupying both forward spots with Sabonis as the team’s starting center once again, which is why Huerter could realistically be eased back into action from his shoulder injury by coming off the bench.</p><p>This may not be the worst spot for Huerter, especially since teams always need to be aware of where he is on the perimeter. Coming off the bench, Huerter can provide the Kings with a spark, much like how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2024-25-nba-media-poll-full-picks-mvp-rookie-of-the-year-nba-finals-more">Sixth Man of the Year candidate Malik Monk</a> is instantly a source of scoring in the second unit.</p><p>As for how Mike Brown feels about getting Huerter back, the Kings head coach is <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/sacramento-kings/article293864284.html" rel="noopener">excited just to get a clean bill of health</a> for once regarding the talent on his roster.</p><p>“It will be great (to get Huerter back),” Brown said, via the Sacramento Bee. “We have a handful of guys that are out right now, so to get to a point where you have your whole team so you can evaluate it the right way is very exciting. Any news that you get that any of these guys, obviously starting with Kevin because we just got the news on Kevin, but any of these guys taking another step forward to getting back on the floor is exciting.”</p><p>The Kings will begin the 2024-25 NBA season at home on October 24 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Kings have had a rough go on the injury front in recent weeks. They lost starting shooting guard Kevin Huerter for the rest of the season due to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-kevin-huerter-undergo-season-ending-shoulder-surgery">shoulder injury</a>, putting their depth to the test.</p><p>Huerter elected to get surgery on March 29, keeping him out for the rest of the season and rendering his services unavailable for the Kings amid their push for a playoff spot. Nonetheless, this was a <a href="https://twitter.com/SeanCunningham/status/1778596414127259833" rel="noopener">necessary operation</a> for him to go through so he could finally put these shoulder issues in the rearview mirror for good.</p><p>“Timing obviously sucks. … Successful operation, it’s something we felt like we needed to do from a long-term health (perspective) and me not having any issues moving forward,” Huerter told reporters prior to the Kings’ Thursday night contest against direct rival for a playoff spot, the New Orleans Pelicans, via Sean Cunningham of FOX40.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kevin Huerter on his season-ending surgery to this left shoulder.

The 25-year old marksman played just 1:51 of that contest, exiting the game early on after a swipe down from Desmond Bane on a Kevin Huerter layup attempt hit the Kings guard on the wrist. The contact from Bane hyperextended Huerter’s shoulder, rendering him unable to move his arm.</p><p>Bane didn’t necessarily yank Huerter’s shoulder out of the socket, but the contact was enough to aggravate what was already an existing shoulder issue for the Kings’ marksman.</p><h2><b>Kevin Huerter’s shoulder injury history</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kings-guard-Kevin-Huerter-9-suffers-an-injury-during-the-first-quarter-against-the-Memphis-Grizzlies.jpg"></figure><p>It took nearly two weeks before Kevin Huerter decided to undergo surgery; he was weighing the pros and cons of such a decision, with the most prominent con being that he’ll be unable for the Kings for the stretch run. Nonetheless, Huerter came to the conclusion that surgery was the best way for him to recover from a problem that’s been plaguing him for years.</p><p>“It’s an issue that I’ve had for a couple of years now. Nothing that was significant enough for me to have to fix it. I haven’t had issues with it in a couple of years. [But] this one, most recent [shoulder injury] episode, the injury became more significant. Where it was currently at, it could be 100 percent fixed with surgery. … If I’m just waiting for the next time I get hurt, there could be damage that I can’t fix with surgery,” Huerter said.</p><p>“For me to have the option to be fully 100 percent healthy and put this behind me, I just got to do it, get it done with.”</p><p>The Kings guard added that he dislocated his shoulder as early as when he was a kid, and then <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/story/_/id/28081352/shoulder-strain-sidelines-hawks-guard-kevin-huerter-two-weeks" rel="noopener">in his sophomore season</a>, he sustained a left rotator cuff strain with an associated shoulder capsule strain on a shooting foul from Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.</p><p>Kevin Huerter is only 25 years old, so he has plenty of good years of basketball left in him. There was no point for him to power through the injury and run the risk of shortening his career because of it.</p><h2><b>Kings shoulder on without their two best shooting guards</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kings-guards-Malik-Monk-0-and-DeAaron-Fox-5.jpg"></figure><p>Losing Kevin Huerter was already damaging enough as it is for the Kings. But the loss of Malik Monk to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-malik-monk-gets-difficult-injury-update-some-hope">sprained MCL</a> compounded matters for a Sacramento team that’s still fighting for its playoff life.</p><p>Monk, the presumptive favorite for the Sixth Man of the Year award, was someone the Kings relied on to assume shot-creation duties alongside De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, effectively acting as insurance for when Huerter is hurt or is struggling. But now, the Kings are putting their faith in defensive-minded rookie Keon Ellis to give them quality minutes as the team’s two top options at the position recuperate from their respective injuries.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At the time, Huerter’s injury was classified as a dislocated left shoulder, and he was set for further imagining to be done. After scans showed damage to his labrum, it was concluded that Huerter’s season was over and he would need to undergo surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery in time for the start of the 2024-25 season.</p><p>In a total of 64 games this season, the Kings’ sharpshooter averaged 10.2 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 36.1 percent from three-point range, the lowest perimeter shooting percentage of his career.</p><p>The Kings are currently 42-30 this season an occupy the 8-seed in the Western Conference with 10 games remaining on their schedule.

Inconsistency is a word that is most relatable to the way this season has gone for the Kings.</p><p>Although they are still in a position to contend for a playoff spot, their inability to consistently play with force and passion has resulted in losses like their recent one to Washington. As a result, the Kings find themselves in the play-in tournament region of the standings. In terms of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-playoff-picture-2024-live-updates-standings-tiebreakers-play-in-tournament">tiebreakers</a>, Sacramento still has games against the Mavs and Suns on their schedule.</p><p>Huerter being out for the season weakens the Kings’ pursuit of possibly winning their first playoff series since the 2003-04 season. Despite his lackluster numbers this season, Huerter’s presence on the perimeter as a shooter opens up better driving lanes for De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk on offense. Now, with Huerter out indefinitely, the Kings lose a secondary source of scoring from three-point range.</p><p>This season, Huerter is one of five players on the Kings’ roster to make at least 120 threes.</p><p>With the 25-year-old guard out of the lineup due to injury, Keon Ellis has slid into the starting lineup for the Kings. Ellis, who gives the team a better defensive presence, has already improved the team’s outlook defensively. In the five games they have played since Huerter’s injury, the Kings rank 12th in the league in defensive rating.</p><p>Keegan Murray, Harrison Barnes, and Monk will be the three players needing to step up the most next to Fox and Domantas Sabonis for the Kings to keep their playoff hopes alive.</p><p>The Kings will be back in action on Friday night in a huge game against the Mavericks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They not only <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-deaaron-fox-sacramento-breaking-16-year-playoff-curse-leaves-fans-emotional">snapped their 16-season postseason drought</a>, but the Kings encapsulated basketball fans across the world with their “Light the Beam” gimmick. The same core group returned to Sacramento this season, yet this team has struggled at times to find consistency. Although they have won seven of their last 10 games, there is certainly concern surrounding this organization due to a recent injury sharpshooter Kevin Huerter suffered during the Kings’ playoff pursuit.</p><p>With 14 games remaining on their schedule, the Kings occupy the 6-seed in the Western Conference, just a half-game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, who reside in the play-in tournament region of the standings. Sacramento picked up a 123-89 road win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, giving them their 40th victory of the season. As things stand right now, the Kings are on pace to finish with 48 wins, which would tie their 48-34 record from last season.</p><p>Huerter, who suffered a left shoulder injury against the Memphis Grizzlies on March 18, did not play on Wednesday night against Toronto. After undergoing initial tests, the Kings have reason to worry about one of their best three-point weapons. Even though his scoring and shooting averages have declined compared to the 2022-23 season, Huerter has still been a key part of the team’s nightly rotation. Not to mention, he’s one of their better catch-and-shoot weapons on the perimeter.</p><p>Whether or not the Kings are able to advance past the first round of the playoffs obviously depends on their matchup, but health is going to play a role as well. For Huerter, he is now in danger of missing the remainder of the season.</p><h2><b>Kevin Huerter’s injury status</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Kevin_Huerter_looking_at_shoulder_-.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Huerter ended up leaving Monday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a left shoulder injury. After being fouled by Desmond Bane in the Kings’ 121-111 overtime victory over the Grizzlies, Huerter suffered a dislocated left shoulder, an injury that could sideline him indefinitely.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kevin Huerter had to leave the Kings-Grizzlies game after a hard foul on his left wrist 👀<a href="https://t.co/sZmWZRamxF">pic.twitter.com/sZmWZRamxF</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1769913012016877608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 19, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Dislocated shoulders can be tough for NBA players to return from in a short span, especially if there is internal damage to ligaments or tendons. For Huerter in particular, this shoulder injury could potentially take longer to heal as a result of his shooting motion out on the perimeter. In regards to players suffering dislocated shoulders, New York Knicks All-Star Julius Randle has missed over seven weeks since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-julius-randle-to-miss-3-weeks-dislocated-shoulder-injury">dislocating his right shoulder</a>.</p><p>The next question for Huerter became whether or not he suffered any other major injury regarding any ligaments or tendons. Originally, the Kings and Huerter were <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/sacramento-kings/article286887700.html">exploring treatment options</a> for this shoulder injury before they make a final decision on whether he will have a chance to return this season, according to Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee. Then, the Kings announced on Thursday afternoon that Huerter suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder.</p><p>No decision has been made on whether or not he will need to undergo some sort of surgical procedure. It is expected that this injury will end Huerter’s season.</p><p>In the wake of Huerter’s injury, Kings head coach Mike Brown has already made it clear that Keon Ellis will be the team’s fifth starter, alongside De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes, and second-year forward Keegan Murray. This injury and Huerter’s absence also provide more opportunity for Malik Monk to showcase his talents off-the-bench, likely seizing this season’s Sixth Man of the Year award.</p><h2><b>More minutes for Malik Monk, Keon Ellis</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Malik_Monk_next_to_DeAaron_Fox_-1.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Monk earning more minutes off the bench as a result of Huerter’s injury may not be a bad thing for the Kings whatsoever. Outside of Fox and Sabonis, Monk has been this team’s third-most important player over the course of the season.</p><p>In a total of 66 games, all of which he has come off the bench for, Monk has averaged 15.9 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 36.6 percent from three-point range. His 146 made threes rank second on the team behind only Fox, and Monk’s 1,050 total points scored this season lead all players in the league in total bench points. This is the main reason why the Kings guard will likely claim the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-media-poll-2023-24-malik-monk-tim-hardaway-jr-sixth-man-of-the-year">Sixth Man of the Year award</a>.</p><p>Although Monk is the player who will be featured more often alongside the starters due to Huerter’s injury, Ellis is the one who is drawing the fifth starter’s role. Brown and the Kings’ coaching staff trust Ellis’ defensive abilities, and the belief is that he can help Sacramento’s 19th ranked defense improve, trending towards the playoffs.</p><p>“Obviously, with this team, it’s always next-man up mentality,” Fox said regarding Huerter’s absence, via Anderson. “We have to be ready to play without Kev if it is some type of long-term thing, and I think everybody is confident in Keon. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, the minutes he’s been providing the last few games, especially since he’s been back in the rotation, have been great.”</p><p>Over his last seven games, Ellis has averaged 6.9 points and 3.0 rebounds per game while shooting 50 percent from three-point range. In this span, Ellis has also averaged 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. The Kings have always needed help on the defensive side of the court. With Ellis in the starting rotation, they now have a gritty player who is willing to do the little things to help them push the pace of play on offense in transition.</p><p>This injury to Huerter also opens up a little bit more playing time for third-year guard Davion Mitchell, who has always been known for his stout defensive presence, like Ellis. These two young guards, along with Monk, are going to be essential to Sacramento as they inch closer to the postseason.</p><h2><b>Kings’ playoff position</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Malik_Monk_next_to_DeAaron_Fox_-.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Huerter has been an important part of the Kings’ core in recent years. However, his inconsistencies and inability to sustain success from the perimeter this season have been alarming. Monk has been more productive off the bench than Huerter has been in the starting lineup, and the Kings are 7-0 when Ellis starts.</p><p>Winning is all that matters in Sacramento right now, especially since their margin for error is very thin. If there is one thing that is known about the Western Conference this season, it’s that nobody wants to be in the play-in tournament region of the standings.</p><p>The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are two dangerous teams that have had their fair share of struggle, yet they hold championship DNA on their roster with the likes of LeBron James and Stephen Curry, respectively. As of right now, these two teams are set to face off in the 9-seed vs. 10-seed play-in game. Then there are the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, two other championship hopefuls led by superstar talents. These two teams are currently set to play one another in the 7-seed vs. 8-seed game.</p><p>The Kings want no part of having to earn their playoff spot by playing one of four championship-contending teams. They also want no part of falling out of the 6-seed spot and then having to draw one of the better teams in the conference for their first-round matchup. Then again, Sacramento has fared well against the likes of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets this season, going a combined 5-2 against these two top-tier contenders.</p><p>The rest of the way, the Kings will face some challenges. Two matchups with the Mavs remain on their schedule, as does one against the Suns. The Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks, and Thunder are five other playoff teams the Kings will need to find a way to beat in order to maintain their spot in the standings.</p><p>Without Huerter, the Kings’ quest to get to the playoffs and win their first playoff series since 2004 becomes much more difficult.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-kings-still-interested-pascal-siakam-trade-theres-catch">Kings were reportedly</a> engaged in Siakam trade talks with the Raptors last week. They reportedly offered a trade package centered around Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter in exchange for the All-NBA forward.</p><p>Acquiring Siakam would have vaulted Sacramento into the upper echelon of the Western Conference. The Kings dreamed of a Siakam, De’Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis big three to lead them into a deep postseason run this year. Unfortunately, they likely were not able to meet the demands of Raptors president Masai Ujiri, and likewise, the Kings did not budge in Ujiri’s desired return for the All-Star.</p><p>With Siakam now off the table, the Kings should move onto their contingency plan ahead of the trade deadline. Sacramento is reportedly looking to make an upgrade by packaging both Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter to bolster the Kings’ shot at competing for a championship. With that, here are the best trades the Kings can pursue using Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter.</p><h2><b>Trade for Jerami Grant/Malcolm Brogdon and Bojan Bogdanovic</b></h2><p>Kevin O’Connor <a href="https://www.theringer.com/nba/2024/1/15/24038442/nba-trade-rumors-deadline-spurs-lakers-dejounte-murray-trae-young">recently suggested</a> in a piece on The Ringer a pathway for the Kings to acquire both Jerami Grant and Bojan Bogdanovic. This will involve trading Harrison Barnes to the Blazers and Kevin Huerter to the Pistons.</p><blockquote>Sacramento’s attention should also be glued on Blazers forward Jerami Grant and Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic. And not just on one of them, but both. Neither player is better individually than Siakam, but together they could be. In theory, the Kings could send Barnes and Mitchell with picks to Portland for Grant and send Huerter with picks to Detroit for Bogdanovic.</blockquote><p>O’Connor’s idea makes a ton of sense as both Grant and Bogdanovic would help address the Kings’ needs in terms of defense and added three-point shooting.</p><p>Grant seems like a viable backup plan for the Kings’ failed pursuit of Siakam. The 29-year-old is a solid two-way option who offers more athleticism, defense, and scoring. He is definitely going to be an upgrade over the Barnes.</p><p>However, it <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-jerami-grant-trade-suitors-wont-like-this-blazers-update">doesn’t seem like Portland</a> is keen on moving the 6-foot-7 wing ahead of the trade deadline, <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/toronto-appears-to-be-seeking-established-young-players-in-deal-for-pascal-siakam-165933967.html">according</a> to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. The Blazers just inked Grant to a five-year, $160 million contract this summer and there is no rush on their part to trade him within the next couple of weeks.</p><p>In case they couldn’t get Grant, the Kings can also try to go after Malcolm Brogdon. Fischer noted that the Blazers are more open to moving Brogdon, so Sacramento might have a better chance at nabbing him to pair with Fox in the backcourt. Brogdon would give the Kings another ballhandler on the perimeter and a steady two-way playmaker who can also knock down three-pointers consistently.</p><p>Meanwhile, Bogdanovic should also be a solid option to look at as he is still a productive and efficient scorer who can both thrive as a creator and an off-ball option.</p><h2><b>Brooklyn Nets</b></h2><p><b>Sacramento Kings receive: Mikal Bridges, Royce O’Neale</b></p><p><b>Brooklyn Nets receive: Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter, Colby Jones, three first round picks, multiple second round picks</b></p><p>While the previous trade saw Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter go in different teams, this deal will send both of them to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Mikal Bridges and Royce O’Neale. Landing both Bridges and O’Neale would be terrific for the Kings as they would instantly address Sacramento’s desires to beef up their defense.</p><p>Bridges would give the Kings a two-way wing who can take on the best perimeter players of the opposing teams. He would also be the second or third option behind Fox and Sabonis.</p><p>However, the Kings will need to gut their draft cupboard to acquire even just Bridges in a trade. The Nets reportedly don’t plan to trade the 27-year-old anytime soon. There is no motivation for the front office to embrace a rebuild since Brooklyn does not own any of its first rounders for the foreseeable future.</p><p>Nonetheless, the Kings could still try to give Nets GM Sean Marks a call and see where they stand on a potential rebuild. Though they don’t have control of their first round picks, these three first rounders from the Kings are nothing to scoff at. They’ve already recouped some of their draft assets from trading Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving last offseason.</p><p>The Kings could also send rookie Colby Jones in the deal as sweetener, and might need to attach some second rounders to acquire O’Neale as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
