Kings-Wizards Injury Report: Ellis, Carter Status Revealed

The Sacramento Kings have won eight of their last nine games and head into a matchup on Sunday against a Washington Wizards team riding a nine-game losing streak. The Wizards have just six wins on the year, which puts the Kings in a great position to pick up another home win on Sunday.

The Wizards are coming off a loss against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday when star guard Jordan Poole dropped 38 points on his former team. Now, heading into their second leg of a back-to-back, they face another competitive Pacific team.

One of the premieres for the Kings has been their guard depth, but they could be shorthanded in that area on Sunday.

Here’s a look at each team’s injury reports ahead of Sunday’s matchup in Sacramento.

Devin Carter – OUT (Wrist)

Keon Ellis – AVAILABLE (ankle)

Marvin Bagley III – OUT (knee)

Saddiq Bey – OUT (knee)

Malcolm Brogdon – OUT (foot)

The Kings have ruled out rookie standout Devin Carter ahead of Sunday’s matchup, while rising star Keon Ellis has been upgraded to active. Ellis has played a significant role during Sacramento’s hot stretch and has become one of their most important players going forward.

The Kings shouldn’t have much trouble against the Wizards, but they still have some talented young pieces that make them dangerous on any given night.

Kings and Wizards will notify at 6pm PT in Sacramento on Sunday.
