What it means for the Kings

Sacramento hosts the Lakers on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 10 p.m. ET. The Kings are 1-6, the 14th seed, with a one-game winning streak. They have no games with Cardwell in the lineup this season and are 1-6 without him. No season line is available for him. The rotation has leaned on Darius Acuff Jr. (36.5 minutes, 26.1 points), Domantas Sabonis (36.1 minutes, 15.0 points) and Zach LaVine (33.2 minutes, 23.4 points). De'Andre Hunter plays 30.2 minutes and Precious Achiuwa 28.6. Achiuwa is day-to-day with an ankle issue. Keegan Murray, Ben Simmons and Maxime Raynaud are also out.

What to watch
