The Sacramento Kings are 20-11 in the Doug Christie era, and they look to continue their run of good form in a coming contest against the LA Clippers.

With a 33-29 record, the Kings are the No. 9 seed in a tight-knit Western Conference. They are coming off a win over the San Antonio Spurs, a contest in which they secured a 127-109 victory.

Not only did Sacramento welcome De’Aaron Fox back home for the first time since the trade deadline deal that sent him to the Spurs, but they also beat him handily.

Now, the Kings are back on the road, down south for a matchup against the LA Clippers.

Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk are both nearing their returns to the hardwood, though they remain out for the contest.

On the other side of the matchup, the Clippers are without Ben Simmons and Norman Powell, who were both listed as out in the initial report.

There was one player who was questionable on the injury report, who recently got an update for the Kings.

Kings make announcement before Clippers matchup

Listed on the original injury report as questionable with lower back soreness, the Kings forward has been ruled out by the team in the recent official injury report.

The Kings are without even more depth on top of the absences of Sabonis and Monk, though they are looking to continue their winning ways after their recent victory.

The Clippers are 34-29 — half a game ahead of the Kings in the standings — which is good for the No. 8 seed.

With a win, Sacramento can jump the Clippers in the playoff picture, which would put them just behind the Minnesota Timberwolves.
