Trey Lyles's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) is questionable for the meeting with the Lakers on Saturday. The 29-year-old hasn't had a quality season, averaging 5.4 points and 3.9 rebounds, among the lowest marks of his career. He missed the last 10 games because of calf soreness. But Lyles had a chance to return a few games ago, so he's not out of the woods just yet. Under normal circumstances, Lyles wouldn't be a factor in any fantasy setup due to his subpar play throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, with Keegan Murray (ankle) also questionable, the 2015 No. 12 overall pick could receive meaningful minutes versus Los Angeles, giving him some streaming value despite the potential for limited work. On the other hand, if Murray and Lyles are both sidelined, Doug McDermott, who had 16 points in a recent encounter with the Denver Nuggets, would draw interest from fantasy managers, especially from those looking for DFS value opportunities.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, and there's a chance he could be available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. If either Domantas Sabonis or Keegan Murray can't play, Lyles could see a larger role in the frontcourt. He's shown his fantasy potential before, like when he posted 12 points and 10 rebounds in a double-double against the Atlanta Hawks on November 18th. Fantasy managers should check for updates as Thursday's game approaches to see if Lyles takes on a bigger role.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 right calf strain. The Kings announced that Lyles will be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks. The 28-year-old has been an important part of Sacramento's rotation this season, averaging close to 20 minutes per game. His absence could lead to increased opportunities for Alex Len and others to step up in the frontcourt.
