Back in starting lineup
Clifford will start Sunday's game against the Nets, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Análise
Clifford returned from a two-game absence Saturday and struggled, making just one of 11 shots from the floor. Clifford will return to a starting role for the second half of the team's back-to-back set. Over his last five starts, he holds averages of 12.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.2 minutes per contest.

Goes 1-for-11 in return
Clifford (foot) finished Saturday's 123-113 loss to the Hawks with three points (1-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and one block over 23 minutes.
Análise
Clifford was given the green light to return from a two-game absence due to a left mid-foot sprain. He came off the bench in his return but struggled mightily from the field, with the 1-for-11 performance dropping his field-goal percentage to 40.2 percent on the campaign. The rookie first-round pick should see plenty of playing time down the stretch for the non-contending Kings, and while he should be able to put up serviceable counting statistics, he'll likely remain a drain in the field-goal and free-throw percentage categories.

Not starting in return
Clifford won't start Saturday's game against the Hawks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
Análise
The rookie first-rounder is available to return from a two-game absence due to a left mid-foot sprain, though Malik Monk will remain in the starting five. Over 46 appearances off the bench this season, Clifford has averaged 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per contest.

Available versus Atlanta
Clifford (foot) is available to play in Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Análise
Clifford was anticipated to miss a week. However, the left mid-foot sprain caused him to miss only two games. The 24th overall pick in the 2025 Draft will presumably reclaim his spot in the starting lineup. With Killian Hayes (finger) also available, Malik Monk, Daeqwon Plowden and Devin Carter might see less work.

Questionable to face Atlanta
Clifford (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Análise
It was reported Monday that Clifford was expected to miss at least one week due to a left mid-foot sprain, though there's a chance he will return Saturday. If the rookie first-rounder is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for guys like Daeqwon Plowden, Devin Carter and Malik Monk.

To miss at least one week
Clifford has been diagnosed with a left mid-foot sprain and will be re-evaluated in one week, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Análise
Clifford sustained the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Nets, and he'll be sidelined until early April at the earliest. With the Kings holding a record of 19-53, it wouldn't be surprising if the club exercised caution with the rookie first-rounder going forward. Devin Carter, Daeqwon Plowden (foot) and Malik Monk are candidates to see expanded roles for as long as Clifford is sidelined.
