Louis King

Former Oregon forward Louis King made the most of his expanded role on Friday evening. With their playoff hopes dead, the Sacramento Kings allowed the second-year forward to play a career-high minutes in their 107-106 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. King set new professional highs in points (27), rebounds (nine), steals (three) and blocks (two) in 34 minutes of play.

King posted 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and a blocked shot across 28 minutes in Sunday's 121-99 loss to the Jazz. King performed well despite picking up five fouls. The Oregon product has come in handy with Sacramento's rash of injuries, but it would be surprising to see him on the roster next season. Des[ite this standout game, King will likely find himself back in the G League next season. He could also be a Summer League participant as he looks for greener pastures.

King is starting Sunday's game against the Jazz, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. King was a late addition to Sunday's lineup and will make his first career start after Maurice Harkless was scratched for an unspecified reason. King recorded 27 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 34 minutes in Friday's loss to Memphis.

King mustered 27 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks across 34 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss at Memphis. King had played a combined 23 minutes in his first four appearances off the bench, but he broke out in a big way Friday and posted season-best numbers across the board while filling out the stat sheet. The Oregon product might have a big role off the bench in the season finale Sunday against the Jazz, but his uncertain role puts a big question mark on his upside for the final game of the campaign.

As a rookie in 2019-20, King was a two-way player for the Pistons and appeared in 10 NBA games, averaging 2.0 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.2 minutes. He was re-signed on another two-way deal earlier in the offseason before being cut by Detroit over the weekend.
