Kings' Orlando Robinson: Will Not Play Tuesday

Robinson Injures Hand in Monday's Practice

Sacramento Kings rookie Orlando Robinson will not play Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a right hand injury, the team announced Monday.

Robinson injured his hand in Monday's practice and is considered day-to-day. The 21-year-old has played in 37 games for the Kings this season, averaging 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.

Injury Details and Timeline

The Kings did not provide any details on the nature of Robinson's injury or a timeline for his return.

Robinson has been a valuable contributor for the Kings this season, providing energy and athleticism off the bench. He has started 10 games and has shown flashes of his potential on both ends of the floor.

Impact on Kings' Rotation

Robinson's absence will leave a hole in the Kings' frontcourt rotation. Chimezie Metu is expected to start in Robinson's place, while Trey Lyles and Jalen Duren could also see increased minutes.

The Kings are currently 32-25 and are in fifth place in the Western Conference. They are one game behind the Golden State Warriors for fourth place and two games ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves for sixth place.
