Jae Crowder Expected To Play In Game 1
Jae Crowder (ankle) was able to practice on Saturday and is on pace to play in Game 1 of the second round. He tweaked his ankle, but it doesn't sounds like anything that is going to sideline him long term. Crowder is expected to be ready and shouldn't be limited at all going forward. Fantasy owners should check back for another update on game day just in case.

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.
