Dallas Mavericks vs. Sacramento Kings injury report
Dallas Mavericks injury report for March 26
The Mavericks listed two players on their injury report: PG Brandon Williams (wrist) and SG Josh Green (right ankle) are out.
What happened to Josh Green?
Dallas Mavericks guard Josh Green is set to sit out for a minimum of two weeks due to a sprained right ankle, as confirmed by head coach Jason Kidd on March 17.
Josh Green sustained his ankle injury during a game against the OKC Thunder on March 14 when he inadvertently stepped on another player's foot while rushing to defend in transition.
Despite his stature as an undersized wing, Green has been an integral part of Dallas's defensive strategy, albeit with some vulnerabilities.
However, his presence on the court has also been valued for his positive contributions to the team's offensive efforts. With his absence from the rotation in the immediate future, the Mavericks will need to adjust their lineup accordingly.
Sacramento Kings injury report for March 26
The Kings have listed three players on their injury report: F Sasha Vezenkov (ankle), SG Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and PF Trye Lyles (knee) are out.
As the regular season approaches its end, the Sacramento Kings are contending with a string of unfortunate injuries.
Trey Lyles is currently out of action due to an MCL sprain, while Sasha Vezenkov is in the midst of rehabbing from an ankle sprain. Adding to the team's woes, starting shooting guard Kevin Huerter is set to be sidelined indefinitely following a shoulder dislocation.
Amid their quest for favorable playoff positioning, the Kings recognize that their primary challenge in the coming weeks will be maintaining the health and availability of their roster.
What happened to Kevin Huerter?
Kevin Huerter sustained his shoulder injury during a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on March 18 and unfortunately, his projected recovery timeline doesn't bode well for his return to action.
According to insights from Grant Afseth of NBA Analysis Network, it appears increasingly probable that Huerter will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2023-24 season, regardless of the Sacramento Kings' postseason aspirations.
