The Sacramento Kings are listing shooting guard Buddy Hield as questionable to play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a left ankle sprain.

However, based on Hield's tweet, it looks like the sharpshooter will play:

The Kings fell in their season opener against the Phoenix Suns on the road. Hield scored 28 points in 31 minutes while shooting 10-of-19 from the field and 6-of-12 from beyond the arc.

Last season for Sacramento, Hield averaged 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the field, 42.7 percent from beyond the arc and 88.6 percent from the free-throw line.

Hield is part of the Kings’ core which is headlined by De’Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley III, Harrison Barnes, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Harry Giles. Sacramento is looking to make the playoffs this season for the first time since 2006.

The Kings acquired Hield from the New Orleans Pelicans in the DeMarcus Cousins trade. Buddy would have entered restricted free agency next summer if he and the franchise didn’t agree to a rookie-scale extension.

GM Vlade Divac, Hield and the Kings are happy a deal was reached. Now, all sides can focus on basketball.

The team will look to rebound from the opening night loss by defeating the Blazers on Friday.
