Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter exited Monday night’s matchup against Memphis after sustaining a left shoulder injury, sidelining him for the remainder of the game.
The incident occurred early in the first quarter as Huerter went for a layup, colliding with Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane, who made contact with his left arm. Bane was called for a common foul in the play.
Following the collision, Huerter remained briefly on the court before heading to the locker room while holding his arm.
Despite the setback, he had already contributed with a rebound, assist, and steal before the injury.
This injury comes after Huerter missed Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right leg contusion, returning to action just days ago against the New York Knicks.
With an average of 10.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this season, along with a 36.1% shooting rate from beyond the arc, Huerter has been a consistent presence for the Kings.
Despite the setback, the Kings managed to secure a 121-111 overtime victory against the Grizzlies.
