Tonight we have the first of a few nights of NBA play-in action. There is nothing better than a single-game elimination for real drama.
In Tuesday night’s victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, the Kings’ Trey Lyles left the game with a knee injury and did not return. He then missed Wednesday night’s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Saturday evening, the Sacramento Kings will host the New York Knicks in California. Before the game (on Friday), the Kings announced an injury update on Trey Lyles (h/t James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento). Via The Kings: "Kings forward Trey Lyles injured his left knee in the second quarter versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, March 12.
He is a key reserve for a Sacramento team that has won four of its past five games.
The Sacramento Kings have had a lopsided season. Perhaps the most confusing team in the NBA, they can go out and dominate the best teams in the league in an away game but will follow it up with a loss to an injury-riddled team at home.
Though it hasn't always been pretty, the Sacramento Kings are finding ways to win against some of the NBA's best teams. Most recently, the Kings defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road without their best scorer in PG De'Aaron Fox.
While it could be argued that the Sacramento Kings could benefit from gathering more respect as a collective, it can be said especially about some contributors down their roster.
Just 30 minutes away from the tip, the Sacramento Kings have ruled out backup forward Trey Lyles against the Phoenix Suns due to illness. With an already diminished forward rotation, the Kings will be another man down as they take on a star-studded Phoenix squad.

The NBA laid out discipline for Trey Lyles and Brook Lopez following Monday's altercation between the two players.

On Saturday night, the Sacramento Kings have a chance to hit 40 wins for the first time since 2005-06 — also the last time they made the playoffs — and fulfill the prophecy from the superfans in this summer's viral video: The Kings are the feel-good team of the NBA season.
Trey Lyles is a really good role player. He isn’t flashy. He isn’t an every-game starter. But he can start if he needs to fill in for an injury and is a very reliable, smart and talented basketball player to have come off your bench.
Houston Rockets big man Alperen Sengun gets a rare encore performance on the road when he and his mates duel the host Sacramento Kings in a rematch Friday night.
Facing a close game heading into the 4th quarter, it was Trey Lyles - with some help from De'Aaron Fox - who stepped up to propel the Sacramento Kings on a 35-14 run to end the game and secure a 135-115 victory.
The Kings intend to exercise the $2.6 team option on power forward Trey Lyles‘ contract, per James Ham of The Kings Beat. Lyles, 26, is 6-foot-9 and was acquired by the Kings from the Pistons in February as part of a four-team trade that also included the Bucks and Jazz.
