Out for at least one week
The Kings announced Tuesday that LaVine (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Analyse
After exiting Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves, LaVine has been diagnosed with a moderate left ankle sprain and will need to miss at least Sacramento's next three contests. With the star guard out of action, Nique Clifford appears to be the most likely choice to replace LaVine in the starting lineup. It's also possible Keon Ellis will see increased minutes for the time being.

Won't return Sunday
LaVine will not return to Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left ankle injury.
Analyse
LaVine twisted his left ankle early in Sunday's game, and while he attempted to play through it, he bowed out during the third quarter. LaVine will end his evening with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two turnovers in 16 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Portland. Nique Clifford started the second half in LaVine's absence.

Won't play Thursday
LaVine has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to right thumb soreness.
Analyse
LaVine will miss his first game since Nov. 12 due to a right thumb issue. With Dennis Schroder (hip) considered doubtful for Thursday's contest, Malik Monk, Keon Ellis and Nique Clifford could see a sizeable uptick in minutes. LaVine's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Timberwolves.
