Sacramento Kings duo Kevin Huerter and Harrison Barnes are reportedly available on the trade market, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Both players had disappointing campaigns in 2023-24, and it looks like the Kings will try to shake up the roster after failing to qualify for the playoffs. Barnes could be moving on just 12 months after signing a three-year, $54 million extension with the Kings. The 32-year-old has been a one-dimensional player throughout his career but has performed well in suitable situations. Huerter has proven himself to be a solid starter and could definitely do a good job for a number of teams if he isn't wanted in Sacramento anymore.

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Huerter is expected to be fully healthy and ready to go by the beginning of the 2024-25 season. The 25-year-old first suffered the injury on March 15 against the Memphis Grizzlies and hasn't played since then. Losing one of their better shooters right before the playoffs isn't ideal for the Kings, but Keon Ellis has been playing well in his absence. Ellis should be the top streaming option for the rest of this year.

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) won't play on Thursday against Washington. However, the absence will extend beyond Thursday night, with ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that Huerter suffered a dislocated left shoulder and labral tear during Monday's overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The 25-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 10.2 points, five fewer than the 2022-23 campaign. At any rate, he doesn't have a timetable to return, so it's possible he's done for the year. But in the meantime, Keon Ellis, averaging 6.1 points and 2.6 steals in seven starts this season, will presumably continue to fill the hole in the rotation.
