Cooper Flagg was ruled out of the Castrol Rising Stars game. Kings rookie big man Maxime Raynaud should get some consideration.
Max is averaging 9.8 points and 6.6 rebounds over 48 games this season. The No. 42 overall pick is 2nd in rebounds amongst rookies and 11th in scoring.

Cabo. The Kings looked like they were running through TSA with their passports out Wednesday night in Utah. It was ugly from the opening jump as the Jazz worked over a young Kings squad by a final of 127-95. Here are six quick thoughts as the Kings drop their 14th straight:
February 12, 2026 at 4:15 AM
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Kings trail 100-66 heading to the fourth. DeRozan has 18 points. 17 for Devin Carter. Kings are up to 30.9% from the field.
February 12, 2026 at 3:49 AM
The Jazz ran over the Kings in the first half and lead 71-44 going to the intermission. Devin Carter has 13 points in his first NBA start. DeMar DeRozan has 12 points. Kings shoot 29.2% from the field.
February 12, 2026 at 3:07 AM
The Kings get lambasted in the first quarter and trail the Jazz 39-20. They finish the quarter shooting 24.1% from the field, including 2-for-9 from 3.

Bakers dozen. The Sacramento Kings dropped their 13th straight game Monday night in New Orleans, falling to the Pelicans by a final of 120-94. Here are six quick thoughts as the Kings set a new Sacramento-era record for futility and head into the break at 12-43:
February 10, 2026 at 3:21 AM
Daeqwon Plowden poster, but Kings trail 92-67 heading to the fourth. 17 points on 17 shots for Westbrook. Raynaud has 13 points and 16 rebounds. Kings are shooting 3-of-25 from 3 and 13 turnovers for 26 points.
February 10, 2026 at 2:55 AM
Kings trail 61-46 heading to the half in New Orleans. Max Raunaud has 11 points and 9 rebounds to pace Sacramento. Russell Westbrook has 9 points. Transition and 3-point defense have been horrible.
February 10, 2026 at 2:08 AM
Kings trail 31-26 after 1Q. DeMar DeRozan and Precious Achiuwa each have 6 points. 5 points for Russell Westbrook and 3 assists for Devin Carter off the bench.
