Sacramento guard DeMar DeRozan was ruled out of Wednesday's game due to lower back tightness after playing just 17 minutes and scoring two points.
DeRozan has been essential for the Kings, scoring 36 clutch points this season, ranking second in the league, and averaging 24.8 points on 52.6% shooting.
The Kings will feel DeRozan's absence significantly, as they are already without sixth man Malik Monk for at least two weeks due to an ankle injury.
Losing DeRozan could destabilize the Kings' depth, posing challenges for the team as they look to maintain performance during crucial matchups.
