Kings Star Zach LaVine Sidelined One Week with Moderate Ankle Sprain

Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine will miss at least one week after an MRI revealed a moderate left ankle sprain. LaVine sustained the injury during Sunday's 117-103 loss to the Timberwolves, limping off in the second quarter. He will be reevaluated in one week, sidelining him for upcoming games against the Trail Blazers (twice), Rockets, and Pistons. LaVine, who previously missed a Dec. 11 game with right thumb soreness, is averaging 20.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists this season. He could potentially return for the Kings' home game against the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 27.
