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

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.

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.

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles is set to return from a nine-game absence on Sunday. The 28-year-old has officially been listed as active and will likely return to his reserve role with around 20 minutes per contest. This will cut into the minutes for both Alex Len and Kessler Edwards, but Lyles' role isn't very conducive to fantasy relevance. He's better suited as a streaming option when others are out of the rotation, but could possibly help with rebounds and threes in deeper leagues.
