Jae Crowder Exits Early On Saturday
Jae Crowder (groin) was unable to finish out Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran forward was forced to exit the game early due to a groin issue in the second quarter. He went to the locker room and didn't return, but that could've been for precautionary reasons. The loss of Crowder would be significant as he has been playing a big role for the Bucks this season. MaJon Beauchamp and Pat Connaughton would likely be asked to step up if Crowder is forced to miss more time. Neither of them are reliable fantasy options, but Connaughton might have some low-end value if given more playing time.

Jae Crowder Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday Night
Jae Crowder (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Crowder hasn't played in any of the Kings' last six games, though he was only ruled out with this back soreness in Sacramento's 10 point win against Dallas on Monday. Given his lack of playing time, and overall lack of production when active, his potential absence will have minimal fantasy impacts. Expect De'Aaron Fox to have a solid night for the Kings against Philadelphia as Sacramento's top option.

Jae Crowder Out On Monday
Jae Crowder (back) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Dallas. The 34-year-old will be kept off the court due to lower back soreness. Crowder earned a deal with the Kings on Nov. 27 and logged a pair of starts to get things going. However, he hasn't had a regular role with the team since then, averaging only 10.3 minutes over four December appearances.

Jae Crowder To Work Out With Kings This Week
Jae Crowder is scheduled to have a workout with the Sacramento Kings this week, per Sean Cunningham of Fox 40. The Kings have also recently worked out Isaiah Thomas, Tony Bradley, Juan Toscano-Anderson, and Lonnie Walker IV. Crowder is a free agent after playing out two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks. As a veteran of over 800 regular-season games, he would bring a wealth of experience to a Kings team that's looking to become a contender in the West. But fantasy-wise, the best days are clearly behind Crowder. He posted 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 23.1 minutes last season.

Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder Starting For Bucks Wednesday
Pat Connaughton and forward Jae Crowder will enter the starting lineup on Wednesday against Memphis. Connaughton will be Malik Beasley's backcourt partner, with Damian Lillard (groin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) unavailable. Crowder replaces Khris Middleton (ankle), who's resting on the second night of a back-to-back. Both players will have extra fantasy value in a starting role. Connaughton is the more attractive piece of the two, with him having notched 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in two previous starts this season.
