Kings' Buddy Hield: Active and starting Wednesday

Hield (ankle) will play and start in Wednesday's game against Portland, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

As expected, Hield won't miss a beat despite continuing to deal with a nagging ankle sprain. The veteran is currently averaging 14.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per contest -- disappointing stats after he hovered around 20 points per game over the last two seasons.
