Kings-Bucks Injury Report: Kevin Huerter, Khris Middleton Status
The Sacramento Kings are in for the chance to bounce back from their 112-93 loss on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, continuing their long-winded road trip to face up against 2-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. This game will be the fourth of their five-game road stretch, currently maintaining a 2-1 record across it so far.
Both teams released their injury reports heading into the matchup, revealing some entries on each side:
Sacramento Kings:
Kevin Huerter- QUESTIONABLE (ankle)
Milwaukee Bucks:
Khris Middleton- OUT (load management)
Chris Livingston- OUT (illness)
Sacramento could ultimately be without the services of Kevin Huerter, who is listed as questionable for the ankle injury he sustained against the Charlotte Hornets. He was forced out of the Kings’ last game against the 76ers but could see an upgrade in his status ahead of game time.
As for the Bucks, sidelined will be both wing Khris Middleton and rookie Chris Livingston.
Middleton is coming off a back-to-back, and considering he hasn’t played in one for the entire season, it’s not a total surprise to see him sidelined against Sacramento. The 3x All-Star has played 34 games this season, averaging 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists on 49.4/38.2/82.6 splits.
The Kings will hope to get back to their winning ways as they tip off against the Bucks on Sunday at 4 PM PT at Fiserv Forum.
