Fri Oct 18 03:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Kings Look to End Preseason on a High Note Against Clippers

**Sacramento, CA** – The Sacramento Kings head to Los Angeles for their final preseason game against the Clippers, hoping to finally secure a win after a rough 0-4 start. The game is set for October 17th at 7:30 PM PT at the Clippers’ new Intuit Dome, and can be streamed on Kings.com or the NBCS CA App.

While a winless preseason wouldn’t be cause for panic, the Kings are eager to build some momentum before the regular season begins. Fans are especially eager to see newly-signed Doug McDermott in action, hoping he can find his rhythm alongside familiar teammate Domantas Sabonis and his new teammates.

The Kings will be without Orlando Robinson and Devin Carter due to injury, and Trey Lyles’ return remains uncertain. However, Kevin Huerter is back in full practice and could potentially make his preseason debut.

The Clippers, on the other hand, will be without Kawhi Leonard who is reportedly out indefinitely. This is a major blow for the team, who are projected to be among the weakest in the Pacific Division.

Despite the Kings’ struggles in the preseason, the team has received positive recognition from The Ringer, with five players making their Top 100 list. Fox came in at 22, Sabonis at 25, DeRozan at 49, Monk at 90, and Keegan at 98. Keon Ellis also received praise as a potential impact player this season.

While the game against the Clippers may not offer a clear picture of the Kings’ potential for the upcoming season, it will be an opportunity to see how the team is shaping up and to get a glimpse of McDermott in action. The Kings are hoping to finish their preseason on a high note, leaving the struggles behind and entering the regular season with a renewed sense of optimism.
