The Sacramento Kings players suffered two more injuries during the game
It was a pretty close game as the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers tied at the end of third quarter. But as soon as the fourth quarter started, the Clippers smoothly secured their win against the Kings. The Kings showed a pretty good performance during the game and showed optimistic signs to rebuild their team, but it hurts them.
The Kings suffered two additional injuries to their team during the game (George Hill and Bogdan Bogdanovic). The nine-year veteran, George Hill, slipped on the court during the first half and left in the middle of the game due to a leg injury. The Serbian rookie player, Bogdan Bogdanovic, got tangled up with Kosta Koufos at the end of the third quarter which resulted in an ailing ankle that forced him to leave the game.
De’Aaron Fox suffered a bruised lower back during the game against the Lakers last Sunday. Hopefully, the Kings’ injured players will recover before they hit the NBA regular season next week.
