Kings forward De'Andre Hunter was downgraded from day-to-day to out for Friday's game against the Spurs because of an illness. The report lists his expected return as Nov. 8.

What happened

The Kings updated their injury report at 7:54 PM ET on Friday, Nov. 6. It lists De'Andre Hunter as out for the game against San Antonio. He had been day-to-day earlier that day with the same illness, listed under Illness · Other. The report's comment reads: "Hunter (illness) is listed as out for Friday's game against San Antonio." The report gives an expected return date of Nov. 8. No other detail on the illness is announced. This is his first appearance on the report since Oct. 16, when he was cleared from day-to-day after a rest listing on Oct. 13.

What it means for the Kings

Sacramento plays the Spurs at 10:00 PM ET on Friday, Nov. 6, without Hunter. The Kings are 1-7, the 14th seed, and have lost one straight. Hunter, a 28-year-old F-G, is averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 31.2 minutes over 8 games this season. The Kings have not played a game without him, so there is no record to compare. The rotation behind him runs through Darius Acuff Jr. (37.3 minutes), Domantas Sabonis (36.0) and Zach LaVine (33.4). Keegan Murray, Ben Simmons and Maxime Raynaud are also out, which thins the forward minutes further.

What to watch

The next injury report will show whether Hunter's status changes before Sacramento's next game. The report lists his expected return as Nov. 8. No official word on a return beyond that date has been given. Murray (ankle), Simmons (right Achilles) and Raynaud (right knee) are also listed out, so the Kings' available forwards stay limited until at least one of them returns. The Kings enter the Spurs game at 1-7 and looking for a win.

Is De'Andre Hunter playing vs the Spurs?

No. The Kings list Hunter as out for Friday's game against San Antonio at 10:00 PM ET because of an illness.
