    Ellis supplied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 win over the Bulls.

    Ellis was back on the Kings bench Sunday due to the return of De'Aaron Fox (hip), leading all second-unit players in scoring during a bench-leading minute total in a winning effort.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Slides to bench Sunday

    Ellis will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bulls, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    With De'Aaron Fox (hip) returning to game action, Ellis will retreat to the bench. The 25-year-old started in each of the club's last five outings with Fox and Keegan Murray each sidelined at some point, during which Ellis had averaged 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per contest.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Fills up stat sheet in win

    Ellis chipped in 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 49 minutes during Monday's 123-118 double-overtime win over the Heat.

    Ellis got the job done on both ends of the floor during Monday's win against the Heat. The game against Miami was Ellis' fourth straight start and his best all-around performance as a starter this season.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Posts 13 points in first-unit role

    Ellis posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 138-133 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Ellis slid into the starting five as the first unit adjusted to account for Keegan Murray's (ankle) absence. He did enough to be relevant with 11 shot attempts and was also effective on defense with three steals during the victory. Malik Monk's promotion to the first unit has diluted Ellis' results, so he's not very dependable as a fantasy option at the moment.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: In first unit

    Ellis is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

    Ellis will make his fifth start of the campaign, stepping into the starting lineup with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined. In his four starts this season, Ellis averaged 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals across 25.8 minutes.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Scores seven points

    Ellis ended with seven points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 110-100 victory over the Mavericks.

    Ellis' production on the offensive end comes and goes, and his value in fantasy is heavily reliant on his defense. He's been productive in that regard, averaging 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks in just 16.3 minutes per game across 12 December outings.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Swats five shots

    Ellis provided 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to Denver.

    Ellis stepped up in a big way with the Kings missing both Kevin Huerter (shoulder) and Keegan Murray (ankle), recording a career-high five blocks. He's very strong on the defensive end in that regard, as this was his fifth career game with at least three blocks. On the season, Ellis is just outside the top 150 in nine-category formats for per-game value, posting averages of 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers.

    Ellis finished one theft short of his career-high mark of four steals. His role and production are trending in the wrong direction to start December, as he's averaging 4.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 14.0 minutes over his last four games.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Returns Monday

    Ellis (leg) has returned to Monday's game against the Thunder with 1:37 remaining in the third quarter, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

    Ellis checked back into the game nearing the end of the third quarter after a brief exit, during which he limped back to the locker room. The 24-year-old guard started for just the second time this season Monday, and he should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Heads to locker room Monday

    Ellis (leg) went back to the locker room in Monday's game against the Thunder, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

    Ellis came up limping and went straight back to the bench before heading to the locker room with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter. The 24-year-old guard started for just the second time of the season Monday, and if he is unable to return, Kevin Huerter will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Starting Monday vs. OKC

    Ellis will enter the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Thunder, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

    In a last-minute lineup change, Kevin Huerter will retreat to the bench in favor of Ellis. In his last five outings, the 24-year-old guard has averaged 9.2 points and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 52.0 percent from downtown across 21.0 minutes per game.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Scores career-high 33 points

    Ellis chipped in 33 points (9-17 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.

    Ellis pulverized his previous career-high scoring mark and looked impressive off the bench in this game despite the fact the Kings suffered a one-point defeat. This performance came out of nowhere, though, as Ellis was averaging just 5.9 points per game since the beginning of November entering Monday's eight-game slate. Ellis' increased offensive activity can likely be attributed to the absences of DeMar DeRozan (back) and Domantas Sabonis (back).

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Plays 28 minutes off bench

    Ellis posted six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime win over the Suns.

    With Malik Monk (ankle) leaving the contest early, Ellis saw an increased role off the bench but failed to capitalize. The defensive-minded guard can rack up steals quickly but has a limited offensive upside.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Returning to bench

    Ellis will come off the bench Wednesday versus Toronto.

    Ellis is supplanted by Kevin Huerter in the latter's return to the starting lineup. Ellis is averaging 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.0 blocks in 21.0 minutes across his last three games off the bench.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Makes impact defensively

    Ellis posted seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 111-110 victory over the Heat.

    With Kevin Huerter (illness) sidelined, Doug McDermott surprisingly started Saturday's game against the Raptors, but Ellis got his chance Monday. Ellis' defensive work has always been stellar, but his offensive upside remains limited due to an inconsistent shot. Given Huerter is expected to return soon, Ellis' stay in the starting lineup likely won't last long.

  • Kings' Keon Ellis: Starting Monday

    Ellis is in the Kings' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Heat, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Ellis will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Monday as he takes Doug McDermott's spot in the starting five. Early in the season, Ellis is averaging 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals over 17.8 minutes per contest.
