Victim of a foul by Desmond Bane as he went up to the circle on a counter-attack, in the first quarter of the match between Sacramento and Memphis on Monday, Kevin Huerter is for now absent until further notice. The Kings have not yet officially communicated on the duration of his unavailability, only on the nature of the shooting guard's injury, namely a dislocation of the left shoulder and a torn labrum.
Such injuries are usually season-ending, as was the case for Ja Morant, but the Sacramento medical staff continues to evaluate all options before making a final decision.
It is in any case a hard blow for Mike Brown, who sees himself deprived of a weapon of choice, even if the guard was going through the most difficult season of his career in terms of 3-point skill (36.1 % on average over 64 games), while the Kings are still in the fight to land a spot in the Top 6 of the Western Conference.
