Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) has been cleared for contact basketball activities, the team announced. He is making "good progress" in his recovery from a left ankle sprain. Although the team provided an encouraging update, the Kings have nothing left to play for and may decide to keep Murray out until the end of the season. There are nine more games remaining for Sacramento, starting with Thursday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Murray has had a tough campaign, shooting a career-low 27.7 percent from three-point range. He has averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game.

Sacramento Kings point guard Killian Hayes (toe) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old is dealing with toe inflammation, which could keep him sidelined for a second consecutive game. The Kings have already ruled out Russell Westbrook (toe) for the game, so Devin Carter could have a busy night as the starting point guard. He finished Tuesday's heavy loss to Charlotte with 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one steal.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's nursing a back problem and might sit out a second consecutive contest. Before being knocked out of the lineup, Achiuwa had an impressive six-game spell, averaging 15.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. With Achiuwa unavailable, the Kings used Patrick Baldwin Jr. in the starting unit on Tuesday against Charlotte, but he had an uneventful evening. Across 28 minutes of action, Baldwin Jr. recorded five points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. Dylan Cardwell, Daeqwon Plowden, and Doug McDermott also have additional fantasy value without Achiuwa.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. The versatile guard has been feeling under the weather and missed a back-to-back set against Indiana and Cleveland at the start of the week. Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain have shared starts during Suggs' absence. After Carter's two-point dud on Monday night against Indiana, Cain got the nod on Tuesday and delivered a strong performance against Cleveland with 17 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Carter was productive off the bench, so it seems likely that Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley won't tinker with his lineup if Suggs remains out against Sacramento.
