Injury
Zach LaVine is set to undergo season-ending surgery on his right fifth finger, dealing a significant blow to the Sacramento Kings. Having averaged 19.2 points over 39 games this season, LaVine’s absence will be felt, but rookie Nique Clifford is expected to fill his starting role. LaVine’s contract includes a player option for next season valued at nearly $49 million.
