Top Keon Ellis News

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Drops team-high 27 points

    Ellis racked up 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over the Pelicans.

    Ellis continued his strong play of late, this time on the offensive end. He ended by scoring at least 20 points for just the second time all season while adding his usual dose of defensive stats. He has now played at least 29 minutes in three straight games, with the coaching staff finding ways to get him on the court a bit more. With that said, his strengths lie on the defensive end of the court, meaning an offensive showing like this shouldn't be something to expect on a nightly basis.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Plays 32 minutes

    Ellis ended with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime win over the Mavericks.

    Despite coming off the bench, Ellis continues to provide low-end fantasy value on the back of his elite steal rate. In six February outings, Ellis holds averages of 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 blocks, 1.7 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game which equates to 10th-round value in nine-category formats.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Slides to bench

    Ellis is not part of the Kings' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Magic, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Zach LaVine (personal/recently traded) is available to make his Kings debut, pushing Ellis to the second unit after he drew the spot start Monday. In 36 appearances off the bench this season, Ellis is averaging 6.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 19.1 minutes.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Strong defensive showing in start

    Ellis notched 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 116-114 victory over Minnesota.

    The Kings swapped out De'Aaron Fox for Zach LaVine in a blockbuster trade, but with LaVine not expected to make his Sacramento debut until Wednesday, Ellis got a spot start and made his usual big impact on the defensive end of the court. The third-year guard has recorded multiple steals in nine of 16 games (seven starts) since the beginning of January, averaging 9.9 points, 2.7 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.9 steals, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 25.7 minutes a contest over that stretch. Ellis' role isn't likely to increase in the new backcourt rotation, but he should still have value in deeper fantasy formats.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Starting Monday vs. T-Wolves

    Ellis is in the Kings' starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Monday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

    Ellis will take the spot in the Kings' starting five vacated by De'Aaron Fox, who was traded to the Spurs on Monday in a three-team trade that also saw Zach LaVine being sent from Chicago to Sacramento. LaVine is expected to make his Kings debut Wednesday against the Magic, so Ellis will make his 11th start of the regular season Monday. Ellis has averaged 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.9 steals over 25.1 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Struggles from downtown

    Ellis posted three points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 144-110 loss to the Thunder.

    Although Ellis couldn't find the mark from long distance Saturday, he was still able to chip in on the defensive end of the floor. The 25-year-old has come off Sacramento's bench in his last eight appearances, during which he's averaged 8.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes. If the team opts to move star floor general De'Aaron Fox ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, however, Ellis could find himself making future starts for the Kings down the stretch of the season.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Logs 30 minutes in win

    Ellis had 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 110-96 victory over the Nets.

    Ellis played at least 30 minutes for the first time in almost two weeks, helping the Kings to a much-needed victory. After a productive stretch earlier in the month, Ellis moved back to a bench role once the team was fully healthy. While this is a great performance, it should be noted that Keegan Murray was limited to just 24 minutes as a result of foul trouble, affording a few extra minutes for Ellis.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Available to play Sunday

    Ellis (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

    Ellis was listed as questionable due to a nagging ankle problem, but he'll give it a go Sunday and should see steady minutes off the bench. The former Alabama standout has started in six of his eight appearances this month, averaging 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 28.8 minutes per game.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Practices Saturday, iffy for Sunday

    Ellis (ankle) fully participated in Saturday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    Ellis exited Thursday's game versus the Rockets early due to an ankle injury. However, the 24-year-old guard appears to have avoided a serious injury and could return to action as soon as Sunday's matchup with Washington.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Officially questionable for Sunday

    Ellis (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    The questionable tag was always the expectation for Ellis, who practiced Saturday and has a shot at being available for this matchup against Washington. Ellis exited Thursday's game versus the Rockets early due to an ankle injury, and a decision on his status will be made closer to Sunday's 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Leaves early with ankle injury

    Ellis (ankle) won't return to Thursday's game against the Rockets, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

    Ellis left for the locker room in the third quarter after he appeared to tweak his right ankle when he stepped on the foot of teammate Domantas Sabonis. The Kings quickly ruled Ellis out from returning, and further tests will likely be needed to determine the severity of the injury. He recorded six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one rebound in 11 minutes before checking out of the game.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Heads to locker room

    Ellis went to the locker room during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Rockets with an apparent right ankle injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Ellis went down and appeared to be in a lot of pain after stepping on Domantas Sabonis' foot, which led him to roll his right ankle. It's unclear if the former Alabama standout will be able to return to the contest.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Returning to bench role

    Ellis isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Ellis is coming off an impressive 18-point performance Tuesday against the Bucks, but he'll revert to a bench role Thursday following the return of Malik Monk (groin). Ellis has been held to single figures in the scoring column in six of his last seven appearances as a reserve.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Logs 18 points with first unit

    Ellis chipped in 18 points (5-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 loss to the Bucks.

    Ellis' perimeter game was on point Tuesday, with five three-pointers in eight attempts beyond the arc. Although Malik Monk (groin) has cemented his first-unit role, Ellis got a chance to shine during his teammate's absence. Ellis has also played as a replacement for De'Aaron Fox, making Ellis the team's top second-unit option in the backcourt.
