Jae Crowder Out for Kings with Lower Back Soreness
Jae Crowder, a power forward for the Sacramento Kings, is dealing with lower back soreness. This injury has ruled him out of recent games. The soreness started on December 29, 2024, and he has been unable to play since then.
What It Means
Crowder’s absence affects the Kings’ depth at the power forward position. His stats this season include an average of 3.3 points per game and a shooting percentage of 35.3%. These numbers suggest that while his scoring impact is limited, his presence still matters for team rotations.
The Kings will rely more on Keegan Murray and Trey Lyles in Crowder’s absence. Murray leads the position with 11.9 points per game, while Lyles contributes 6.1 points per game. Isaac Jones may also see some playing time as he averages 3.8 points per game.
