Ben Simmons is out with no timeline, so Doug Christie changed his rotation plan. The Kings won't ask Malik Monk or Nique Clifford alone to replace his playmaking: "it's not going to be one person." Dylan Cardwell and Maxime Raynaud weren't with the team; everyone else is active.
Rookie Darius Acuff Jr. on Dylan Cardwell being able to come back for the Kings: "He brings everything that I miss playing with Dylan, man. So having him back is great." Acuff said Cardwell will "do everything on the floor" and brings energy.
