Kings' Devin Carter: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
The Kings announced Thursday that Carter has been diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion, is considered day-to-day, and will be listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Carter has already missed Sacramento's previous two contests due to a right shoulder contusion and could remain sidelined Friday. However, the rookie guard averaged just 2.0 minutes per contest in his previous three appearances, so his potential absence shouldn't significantly impact Sacramento's rotation.

Kings' Devin Carter: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers due to an illness, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Carter missed Monday's game against the Celtics due to an illness and was cleared to suit up Tuesday against the Thunder, but he logged only three minutes. Carter has played off the bench in every one of his appearances this season, so the rookie shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Rotowire
Carter (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
Carter will return to game action after missing Monday's loss to the Celtics due to the illness.

Kings' Devin Carter: Questionable Tuesday with illness
Rotowire
Carter (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
After missing Monday's loss to the Celtics due to the illness, Carter is in jeopardy of sitting out once again Tuesday. Starting point guard Malik Monk also sat out Monday with an illness, and if both he and Carter are sidelined again Tuesday, the Kings would likely turn to Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz to serve as their primary facilitators.

Kings' Devin Carter: Sitting out Monday
Rotowire
Carter (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
The rookie first-round pick's next chance to return to the court comes Tuesday against the Thunder. With Malik Monk also sidelined by an illness, Keon Ellis should take on nearly all the minutes at point guard, while Markelle Fultz serves as his backup.

Kings' Devin Carter: Uncertain to play Monday
Rotowire
Carter is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics due to an illness.
The illness is a new concern for Carter, who had appeared in each of the Kings' last nine games. The rookie first-round pick has played double-digit minutes in seven of those contests, averaging 5.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. If both Carter and starting point guard Malik Monk (illness) are sidelined Monday, Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz would likely serve as the team's primary ball handlers.

Kings' Devin Carter: Emerges with career-high 16 points
Rotowire
Carter notched 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-119 victory over Cleveland.
The rookie first-rounder set a new career high in scoring, providing a lift off the bench Wednesday. The absences of Zach LaVine (personal) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) perhaps prompted interim head coach Doug Christie to run a tighter rotation, enabling Carter to play a more significant role than usual. It's difficult to gauge if this performance will earn Carter more playing time going forward, although fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his minutes in the final weeks of the campaign.

Kings' Devin Carter: Rejoins parent club
Rotowire
Sacramento recalled Carter from the G League's Stockton Kings on Tuesday.
Carter will be available for the Kings' next game Wednesday in Denver, but the rookie first-round pick will likely be left out of the rotation unless starting point guard Malik Monk (toe) sits out.
Carter supplied two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes during Monday's 110-96 victory over the Nets.
Carter continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having now played fewer than 10 minutes in five straight games. After making his debut earlier in the month, Carter had a couple of encouraging performances. However, with the roster now healthy, his role has reduced to the point where he is typically a non-factor.
