Lyles (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Indiana. Lyles will play in his second consecutive outing following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. It wouldn't come as a surprise if the big man operates under a minutes restriction, meaning Isaac Jones and Alex Len could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time.

Lyles (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's game against Indiana. Lyles will play in his second consecutive outing following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. It wouldn't come as a surprise if the big man operates under a minutes restriction, meaning Isaac Jones and Alex Len could be in line for a slight uptick in playing time.
Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers. Lyles made his return to game action in Saturday's 103-99 loss to the Lakers following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain. He played 17 minutes off the bench, finishing with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal. Though he didn't experience any reported setbacks in his return, the Kings could still end up holding out Lyles for maintenance purposes in the second leg of a back-to-back set. With Lyles and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) both deemed questionable, Isaac Jones and Alex Len could end up covering most of the minutes at center if neither Lyles nor Sabonis is available.
Lyles (calf) is available for Saturday's game versus the Lakers, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports. Lyles has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday after missing Sacramento's last 10 games with a right calf injury. Even with Domntas Sabonis (back) questionable, Lyles will likely operate on a minutes restriction until he's able to handle a full workload.
Lyles (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers. Lyles suffered a Grade 1 right calf strain in late November, and he has been sidelined ever since. In the 10 games prior to his injury, he averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 23.0 minutes per game. Lyles was initially slated to return Thursday against the Lakers but was added back to the injury report and eventually ruled out. If he's unable to play in Saturday's rematch, his next opportunity would be against the Pacers on Sunday.
Lyles (calf) won't play Thursday against the Lakers, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Lyles was added to the injury report earlier in the day and has now been ruled out for Thursday's action. He hasn't seen the court since Nov. 25 due to his current role in the rotation, so his presence shouldn't be missed much.
Lyles is deemed questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers due to right calf soreness, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports. Lyles missed Sacramento's last nine contests due to a left calf strain. While he was previously deemed available for Thursday, the 29-year-old forward will now go through pre-game warmups to determine his availability.
Lyles (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers. Lyles will return from a nine-game absence due to a right calf strain. His return comes at an opportune time for the Kings, as Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Thursday's contest. However, Lyles would likely be under a minutes restriction even if Sabonis is sidelined.
Lyles (calf) logged a full practice Wednesday and there's optimism that he might be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports. Lyles has been trending in the right direction toward being available over the last few days, and a full practice Wednesday suggests the forward could be ready to go Thursday, assuming he doesn't have any setbacks. His return comes right at a time when Keegan Murray (undisclosed) and Domantas Sabonis (undisclosed) could be in line to miss Thursday's contest, meaning Lyles could, at the very least, add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt.
Head coach Mike Brown said after Sunday's practice that Lyles (calf) is making good progress in his recovery, but the veteran big man remains uncertain to play during the Kings' four-game week, James Ham of Kings-Beat.beehiiv.com reports. "He's getting close, but he's not playing [Monday], and I don't even know if he's playing the game after that [Thursday against the Lakers," Brown said of Lyles. "He's progressing like anyone would with an injury." Though Lyles was sidelined for a ninth straight game in Monday's 130-129 loss to the Nuggets, he's now reached the three-week mark in his recovery from the Grade 1 right calf strain he suffered in a Nov. 25 loss to the Thunder. Lyles' initial prognosis called for him to be evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, so the 29-year-old may have reached the day-to-day phase of his recovery. Ham notes that Lyles was on the floor taking part in shooting drills during Sunday's practice, though Lyles may need to take contact in practice before the Kings clear him to play again. Lyles appears unlikely to be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, but a return at some point during the Kings' weekend back-to-back set could be more realistic.
