The Sacramento Kings have announced a six-player injury report ahead of their matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Kings, who are dealing with a 12-game losing streak, will be without several key players including Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray, and Malik Monk. This comes as the Kings continue to struggle on the road, winning just 3 of their 26 away games this season.

Why it matters

The Kings' extended losing streak and mounting injuries highlight the team's struggles this season as they sit at the bottom of the NBA standings. With several starters sidelined, it provides an opportunity for the Kings' young players to step up, but also raises questions about the team's depth and ability to compete against a Pelicans squad that is coming off an upset win.

The details

The Kings' injury report includes Domantas Sabonis as questionable with lower back inflammation, while Doug McDermott is also questionable with right shoulder soreness. De'Andre Hunter, Zach LaVine, Malik Monk, and Keegan Murray have all been ruled out, dealing a major blow to the Kings' depth. This comes as the team tries to snap a 12-game losing streak, which is tied for the longest in their Sacramento era.
