Kings' Devin Carter: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Carter (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Carter is nursing left shoulder soreness that's jeopardizing his status for Thursday. The rookie first-rounder is logging just 14.3 minutes per game over six appearances this season, so his potential absence is unlikely to have significant implications on Sacramento's rotation. With Jordan McLaughlin (personal) out against Houston, however, the Kings may need to lean heavily on De'Aaron Fox, and Keon Ellis could have an expanded role.

Kings' Devin Carter: Makes strong impression
Rotowire
Carter had 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 129-99 victory over the Warriors.
Playing in just his second NBA game, Carter had a much better showing compared to his scoreless debut against the Grizzlies. He was able to get extended run due to the lopsided score, however, so he remains a player to monitor in deeper formats for the time being. Plus, the Kings were without De'Aaron Fox (glute) on Sunday.

Kings' Devin Carter: Won't play against Dallas
Rotowire
Carter (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
The rookie first-round pick has yet to make his NBA regular-season debut due to a torn labrum that he suffered during a pre-draft workout. He dominated in his pro debut in the G League with the Stockton Kings on Saturday, finishing with 29 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 33 minutes in a 109-107 victory over the Austin Spurs. Carter won't play Monday as he works on his conditioning, and his next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the 76ers.

Kings' Devin Carter: Heads to G League
Rotowire
Sacramento assigned Carter (shoulder) to the G League's Stockton Kings on Thursday, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Carter has been sidelined all season after undergoing surgery in mid-July to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, but the rookie's assignment to the G League suggests that he's ready to resume practicing. His NBA debut is likely still at least a week or more away, however, and Carter could end up seeing game action in the G League before he sees action for Sacramento.

Kings' Devin Carter: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire
The Kings announced Thursday that Carter underwent successful surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Carter sustained a left shoulder injury during a pre-draft workout, and the Kings were aware of the issue when selecting him with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Sacramento announced Thursday that they'll update his status in approximately six months, so the 22-year-old will presumably miss at least the first few months of the 2024-25 season. However, Carter is expected to make a full recovery with no long-term concerns.
