Trey Lyles DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Sacramento Kings forward/center Trey Lyles (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was added late to the injury report due to lower back soreness. Lyles will have the entire weekend to recover, as the Kings' next game is not until Monday when they host the Memphis Grizzlies. Jake LaRavia may see a bit of extra action off the bench Friday night with Lyles unavailable.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (leg) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Lyles was a late addition to the injury report due to a leg injury, but it doesn't appear to be something that is going to keep him on the sideline. Normally, Lyles plays minutes in the teens off the bench, but he could see an increased role on Thursday with Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) ruled out for this game. Honestly, Jonas Valanciunas will probably absorb most of the additional minutes, so Lyles still isn't an ideal streaming option.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (calf) has been cleared to suit up for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran forward was active for the first time in almost a month during Saturday's game. He finished with three points and three rebounds across 17 minutes of action. The expectation is that the Kings are going to ease Lyles back into action. Fellow big man Domantas Sabonis (ankle) remains questionable for this game, so Lyles could see a larger role if Sabonis sits out. Otherwise, Lyles is probably avoidable for Sunday's slate.
