Kings Guard Cleared for Workouts

Kings guard Kevin Huerter has been given the green light for on-court workouts, shooting drills, and a full strength-and-conditioning program.

Recovery and Upcoming Evaluations:

Huerter had surgery in March to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He will be checked again in mid-October before he can join full-contact practices. This means he might miss some games at the start of the season.

Trade Rumors and Team Role:

There were many trade rumors about Huerter during the offseason, but he is still expected to be the starting shooting guard when he’s back.

Career Highlights and Recent Performance:

Huerter played his first four seasons with Atlanta before being traded to Sacramento in 2022 for a protected first-round pick. In his first year with the Kings, he achieved career highs with 15.2 points per game and a 40.2% three-point shooting rate. However, last season saw a dip in his performance as Coach Mike Brown focused more on defense.

Fans hope he bounces back strong!

Before his injury on March 18 against Memphis, Huerter averaged 10.2 points per game over 64 games, starting in 59 of them alongside De’Aaron Fox.

Contract Details:

Huerter is currently in the third year of a four-year deal worth $65 million. He’s set to earn $16,830,357 next season and $17,991,071 in 2025-26.

We can’t wait to see him back on the court!
