Zach LaVine Ruled Out for Tuesday's Game Against Knicks with Back Soreness

Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to lower-back soreness. This decision comes despite his participation in Tuesday's morning shootaround. LaVine was previously sidelined for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to the same back issue and was listed as questionable. His next opportunity to play will be Thursday in Philadelphia. With Malik Monk (ankle) also out, Keon Ellis is expected to see an increased role in the starting lineup.
