Doug McDermott Latest News
Back in bench role
McDermott will come off the bench Thursday night against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. McDermott entered the starting lineup Monday in place of Keegan Murray (ankle), but the Creighton product will resume his usual role Thursday following Murray's return to play. McDermott is averaging 3.0 points over 4.0 minutes in his last eight appearances off the bench.
Scores 16 points in starting role
McDermott amassed 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and one rebound across 27 minutes during Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets. McDermott got the start Monday due to the absence of Keegan Murray (ankle), and the veteran responded with an efficient performance and some much-needed floor spacing. His role in the upcoming games will be determined by Murray's availability, but expect McDermott to experience a slight uptick in minutes and usage rate if Murray remains sidelined.
Starting sans Murray
McDermott will start in Monday's game against the Nuggets, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. With Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined, McDermott will pick up his third start across 20 regular-season appearances. The 32-year-old forward delivered a season-best performance in last Sunday's win over Utah, during which he posted 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) over only eight minutes, before receiving a DNP-CD in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.
Scores 18 points in blowout
McDermott contributed 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt) over eight minutes during Sunday's 141-97 victory over Utah. The Kings ran away with this game early, allowing McDermott to feast in garbage time as he reached double-digit points for the first time this season. McDermott is usually not in the rotation for the Kings, so this can be chalked up as an outlier performance.
Back to bench Monday
McDermott will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Hawks, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. Alex Len will enter the starting lineup with McDermott retreating to the second unit. The 32-year-old forward has carved out a decent role with the club this year, and in his last five outings he has averaged 4.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 14.8 minutes per game (one start).
Does little in starting role
McDermott closed with six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 win over Utah. The Kings continue to experiment with schemes to absorb DeMar DeRozan's (back) production with mixed results, and McDermott didn't solve the equation. Given Trey Lyles' proficiency as a shot-taker, employing a larger lineup might solve the issue if DeRozan's absence is extended, allowing Keegan Murray to move over to make room for a Lyles/Domantas Sabonis (back) combo up front. Given Saturday's results, Murray should return to his customary role, with McDermott possibly headed back to the bench.
Starting vs. Jazz
McDermott is in the Kings' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports. McDermott will make his second start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday. His last start took place against the Raptors on Nov. 2, during which he played just 15 minutes and logged four points and one rebound. Over his last four outings, McDermott has averaged 4.0 points and 1.5 rebounds across 13.8 minutes.
Back in bench role
McDermott isn't starting Monday's game against the Heat, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports. McDermott drew a spot start Saturday against Toronto but failed to do much with the opportunity, totaling four points and one rebound in 15 minutes. Keon Ellis gets the chance to start for Kevin Huerter (illness) Monday evening.
Starting Saturday
McDermott is in the Kings' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. McDermott will enter the starting five for Kevin Huerter, who is sidelined with an illness. McDermott has seen little playing time was a healthy DNP in two of five regular-season games, but Saturday provides an opportunity for the 2014 first-round pick to earn more minutes in the Kings' rotation.
