New number in Year 18 for Brodie 🔥 Russell Westbrook will wear No. 18 with the Kings 😤

Sacramento Kings star Domantas Sabonis sustained a mild hamstring strain and he’ll miss the preseason finale vs. Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, league sources tell me.

Malik Monk on Russell Westbrook: Loves his energy: "Another one of me out there." While both were Lakers: "Probably one of the best teammates I had." Sees him as an undersized PF, can guard the 4: "He knows how to win, he's a competitor. He's gonna help us."

Keon Ellis on the good and the bad of the Kings 0-3 preseason, last night’s loss to the Clippers, being a primary ball handler in stretches, picking up full court and adjusting offensively.

Keegan Murray 👑

The Kings should be announcing the addition of Russell Westbrook soon and he is expected to join the team on Friday in LA, pending physical.

"Keegan is one of the most versatile players in the league. He's shown that he can defend multiple positions & efficiently shoot the ball from the perimeter. Keegan is also a young man of high character who reflects the vision we're shaping in Sacramento." - Kings GM Scott Perry announcing Keegan Murray’s extension.

Kings officially announce Keegan Murray’s extension:

Kings head coach Doug Christie reflects on last night’s preseason loss to the Clippers, looks ahead to the approach for the preseason finale in LA on Friday and the way Zach LaVine, Keon Ellis & Nique Clifford have performed thus far.

The Kings are 30/109 (27.5%) from 3 as a team in the preseason. That's 30th of 34th teams, including international squads. The Guangzhou Loong Lions went 31/102 (30.4%) in their 3 preseason matchups. It's just 3 preseason games, and they'll shoot better, but I found it funny.

Domantas Sabonis had MRI on his hamstring, didn’t practice but will travel with his Kings to LA. His status for the preseason finale will updated later.

Malik Monk returns to Kings following illness, unsure if he’ll play on Friday in the preseason finale, talks about the extension for Keegan Murray and the soon-to-be addition of Russell Westbrook.

How many wins for the new-look Kings? 👀🔥

Domantas Sabonis shot a career-high 41.7 3P% on 2.2/g last season. At media day, he said, “The goal is to get those attempts higher, and what I worked on was basically having a quicker release.” It’s only 3 preseason games, but he’s 0/10 from 3P, and they haven’t been pretty.
