Alex Len Unlikely To Play Friday
Alex Len (rest) is unlikely going to be ready for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Luke Walton. He was battling COVID-19 and recently joined his teammates in Orlando this week. The team is still attempting to get his conditioning up enough for game action. Honestly, there probably won't be many minutes available for Len once he's ready to play. The Kings have Richaun Holmes, Nemanja Bjelica, and Harry Giles, so Len will likely get lost in the shuffle.

Alex Len Ruled Out For At Least Six Weeks
Alex Len (ankle) faces a lengthy absence, as he has been ruled out for 6-8 weeks. The seven-footer from Ukraine has suffered a moderate high ankle sprain, and it's possible we won't see him again until the calendar flips to 2024. We actually haven't seen much of him when he's been healthy either, with Len logging only 6.8 minutes across six games as the third center in the Kings rotation. His absence won't change anything in fantasy basketball.

Alex Len Good To Go On Sunday
Alex Len (back) has been given the green light to suit up for Sunday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Len is currently hampered by a sore back, but it won't keep on the sidelines on Sunday. Unfortunately for Len, he's become a bit buried on the depth chart, even with both Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Richaun Holmes (personal) out of action. Damian Jones is excelling as the team's starting center and the only other big men in Sacramento seeing sturdy minutes right now are Trey Lyles and Chimezie Metu.

Alex Len, Josh Jackson Active On Wednesday
Alex Len (illness) and forward Josh Jackson (illness) will both be active for Wednesday night's game against the Houston Rockets. This update comes as a surprise as both players had been previously ruled out for the game due to non-COVID illnesses. Neither player has been seeing much of the court lately. Len has rebounding and block potential, but would need to surpass Neemias Queta and Chimezie Metu on the depth chart in order to warrant some fantasy appeal.

Alex Len To Start At Center
Alex Len will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Domantas Sabonis (suspension) and Richaun Holmes (personal) are both sidelined for this game. At this point, the Kings don't have many other options at center, so Len will get the start. He should get plenty of minutes, but remains a low-end streaming option. De'Aaron Fox, Justin Holiday, Harrison Barnes and Trey Lyles are expected to join Len in the starting five.
