Plumlee agreed to a contract with the Kings on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Plumlee figures to serve as frontcourt depth and offers a veteran presence for Sacramento's locker room. However, the veteran center is unlikely to handle a steady role on the court.

Richard (thumb) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Richard suffered a torn UCL in his left thumb, though he will attempt to play through it. The 23-year-old is averaging 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his 10 regular-season appearances, all down from his averages during the 2025-26 campaign. However, he's shooting a career-high 42.9 percent from deep.

Rollins will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Tyler Herro (knee) is back after a one-game absence, so Rollins will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Rollins is averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.0 steals in 18.8 minutes per game.

Ament will start Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

After averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists while shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from three-point range in 22.5 minutes per tilt over his last two games, Ament is being rewarded with his first career start. As a result, Jaime Jaquez will slide to the second unit.

Jaquez will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

The Bucks have opened the season 1-9, so head coach Taylor Jenkins will shake up his starting five for Wednesday's game, bringing Jaquez off the bench for the first time this season. Jaquez was averaging 27.6 minutes per game as a starter, but he'll likely see slightly fewer minutes in the reserve role.

Ware will start in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

With Myles Turner (rest) ruled out, Ware will make his first start as a member of the Bucks. In 34 regular-season starts with the Heat in 2025-26, the 22-year-old averaged 12.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks over 26.7 minutes per contest.

Bey won't start Wednesday's game against the Nets.

With Zion Williamson (rest) back in action, Bey will retreat to the second unit. Over 10 appearances off the bench this season, he's averaged 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.9 minutes per showing.

Herro (knee) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Herro didn't play in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, marking his first absence of the 2026-27 campaign. However, he will play Wednesday, meaning Ryan Rollins will presumably return to the bench.

Wilson (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Wilson was a late addition to the injury report due to right hip soreness, though he'll shed his questionable tag and suit up Wednesday. The rookie forward has scored at least 18 points in four of his last five outings, averaging 18.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 blocks in 31.4 minutes per contest during that period.

Swain (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Swain will spend another game on the inactive list, and his next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks. Swain is not a regular part of the Bulls' rotation.
