Kings' Zach LaVine Ruled Out for Seventh Straight Game with Ankle Sprain

Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine has been officially ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle sprain. This absence marks his seventh consecutive game missed. LaVine's status for Thursday's game against the Celtics is currently doubtful, pending further updates from the Kings. While the veteran swingman remains sidelined, Nique Clifford and Keon Ellis are expected to see increased playing time.
