Looks like Terence Davis is going to replace Kevin Huerter as a starter for however long Huerter is out.
Keeps Malik Monk as focal point of 2nd unit and further locks in Kessler Edwards as backup SF (Edwards had successful return to Brooklyn tonight — sneaky good Kings trade) – 12:52 AM

6. Not good. Kevin Huerter came into the night shooting 58.8 percent from three in the month of March. In the first quarter, he got tangled up and took an awkward fall in the lane. The early news is that he suffered a right hamstring strain and will have an MRI on Friday. – 9:55 PM

League source says mild hamstring strain feared for Kings guard Kevin Huerter, who will hopefully receive an MRI tomorrow. Feeling around the organization is certainly one of optimism and relief that injury wasn’t worse. Huerter is said to be in good spirits. – 8:46 PM

Kings 54, Nets 41 at halftime. And that’s with Sacramento getting just four points from Fox and none from Kevin Huerter before he left with a leg injury. – 8:38 PM

Hard to fully enjoy with the Kevin Huerter injury, but Domantas Sabonis is balling and the Kings defense held the Nets to just 41 points in the first half. – 8:37 PM

Kevin Huerter (right leg injury) will NOT return to the game tonight for the Kings. I was told that he is in good spirits and that they are optimistic that it is nothing serious. – 8:30 PM

Something to watch out for tonight:
Jacque Vaughn said the Nets will have to be extra physical on DHOs between Kevin Huerter and Domantas Sabonis. Said Nic Claxton won’t be dropping on the action, which has been a very effective for SAC.
H/T @MattBrooksNBA for the question. – 7:41 PM

It’s just hard not to view this move through the prism of moving Kevin Huerter last summer. You moved Huerter to duck the tax only to…give an older, worse player who plays the same role with more of an injury history about the same money long-term? – 3:49 PM

More on this storyline
Kevin Huerter is expected to have an MRI in Washington D.C. on Friday ahead of Saturday’s game against the Wizards. Brown went with Terence Davis to open the second half in Huerter’s absence in Brooklyn, but could end up giving Edwards more minutes if he continues to play like he did Thursday against the Nets and March 11 in Phoenix, where he provided a similar boost with 12 points and seven rebounds in a key win over the Suns. -via Sacramento Bee / March 17, 2023
Kings’ head coach Mike Brown thinks that he has multiple options to replace Huerter on the starting lineup if he has to miss games. “TD could start. We feel like we could start Kessler. If we need to, we could start Trey. We’re going to bring Keon probably up. I may even throw him out there,” Brown said. “It’s a great time for us to experiment a little bit with different guys and different positions if he can’t go. We’ll see after he gets evaluated. Again, it’s a tough situation to be in, to have him get hurt, but at the end of the day, it’s next man up, and we just got to keep trying figuring it out collectively.” -via TalkBasket / March 17, 2023
James Ham: According to a league source, Kevin Huerter sustained what is believed to be a right hamstring strain. There is optimism that it is not a long term issue. Imaging hopefully tomorrow. -via Twitter @James_HamNBA / March 17, 2023
