Bogdan Bogdanovic questionable; Trevor Ariza and Kyrie Irving out for Kings vs. Nets
Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic is listed as questionable for Friday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center due to left hamstring tightness.
The Kings (6-7) could also be without point guard Cory Joseph, who is questionable due to a bruised left heel. Forward Trevor Ariza is recovering from right groin soreness and is not with the team for personal reasons.
The Nets (6-8) will be without star point guard Kyrie Irving, who has missed the past three games with a left shoulder impingement.
Bogdanovic scored a career-high 31 points in Tuesday’s 120-116 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Golden 1 Center. He left the game with 1:22 remaining after suffering the hamstring injury.
Bogdanovic told reporters he thought the injury was just a cramp, but he was quickly ushered out of the locker room to receive additional treatment. Kings coach Luke Walton said “hopefully it’s nothing too serious.”
The Kings are already missing point guard De’Aaron Fox due to a severely sprained ankle and Marvin Bagley III due to a broken right thumb.
Bogdanovic is shooting 52.5 percent from 3-point range over the last eight games. He has averaged 21.5 points and 8.0 assists in four games since Fox went down, helping the Kings go 3-1 during that stretch.
