Kings center Richaun Holmes will miss his third consecutive game when his team concludes a three-game road trip against the Toronto Raptors on Monday at Scotiabank Arena.

The Kings (11-16) will try to salvage the last game of the trip after suffering back-to-back losses to the Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Raptors (12-14) have won three of their last four games, including a 90-87 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday.

The Kings have ruled Holmes out due to an eye injury. The 6-foot-10 center has missed the past two games after suffering a laceration to his right eye in Wednesday’s 142-130 victory over the Orlando Magic.

The Raptors have ruled out Precious Achiuwa (health and safety protocols), OG Anunoby (hip), Khem Birch (knee), Goran Dragic (not with team) and David Johnson (calf). Anunoby leads the team in scoring at 20.1 points per game. He hasn’t played since Nov. 15.

Pascal Siakam scored 32 points to lead the Raptors to a 108-89 victory over the Kings on Nov. 19 at Golden 1 Center.
