LaVine to Miss Eighth Straight Game Due to Ankle Injury

Zach LaVine (ankle) is confirmed out for Thursday's game against the Celtics, marking his eighth consecutive absence. The Sacramento Kings guard continues to be ruled out a day in advance, and with no return to practice yet, his availability for Friday's game against the Suns appears improbable. LaVine's prolonged absence highlights the severity of his ankle issue, keeping him sidelined indefinitely.
