9 Cory Joseph PG

Joseph is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Pelicans, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The 28-year-old will receive his second straight start with De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) sidelined. Joseph had four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Rockets.

Joseph will come off the bench Thursday against the Pelicans, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Joseph started the Kings' loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday, but coach Luke Walton will put Nemanja Bjelica back in the starting five Thursday. Through the first three seeding games, Joseph has averaged 4.7 points, 6.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 28.0 minutes.

Joseph will start Tuesday's game against Dallas, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.

After an 0-2 start, the Kings will shake things up and go with Joseph at shooting guard, while Bogdan Bogdanovic shifts up to small forward, with Harrison Barnes at the other forward spot. Nemanja Bjelica will move to the bench.

Joseph managed 10 points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Saturday's 131-123 loss to the Bucks.

Joseph reached double figures in scoring off the bench thanks to his plethora of trips to the charity stripe. Nevertheless, with De'Aaron Fox (ankle) back in the lineup going forward, Joseph is likely best reserved for use in deeper leagues given that he's more of a game manager than a stat-stuffer.

Joseph (heel) is active for Thursday's contest against Philadelphia.

The guard had been dealing with some minor heal pain, but as anticipated, Joseph will be available to play. He'll presumably continue to backup teammate DeAaron Fox. Joseph is averaging 6.5 points and 3.4 assists in 61 games played this season.

Joseph (heel) is probable for Thursday's game against the Sixers.

Joseph has been dealing with a heel injury since the end of February but has yet to miss a game as a result, a trend that figures to continue Thursday. Through the first two games of March, Joseph is averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steal in 21.5 minutes per tilt.

Joseph (heel) will play in Tuesday's tilt against the Wizards, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Joseph bruised his right heel in Sunday's victory over Detroit. However, the issue was not serious and he has been cleared for Tuesday's contest. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at point guard.

Joseph is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a bruised right heel.

Joseph was banged up heading into Sunday's win over Detroit, but he was able to play through the ailment to contribute five points and three boards in 16 minutes. The Kings will wait until Tuesday morning to see how the foot feels before ruling on Joseph's status.

Joseph (heel) managed five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 win over the Pistons.

Joseph had been listed as questionable due to a right heel contusion and produced a modest stat line in limited minutes. De'Aaron Fox (abdomen) was cleared to play as well, and so long as Fox is healthy Joseph's appeal for fantasy purposes is minimal.

Joseph (heel) will try to play in Sunday's game against Detroit, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.

While he's officially active, it looks as though Joseph will truly be a game-time call, though there's more optimism about his chances to play after he successfully made it through pregame warmups. Even so, considering he'll likely be at less than 100 percent, it wouldn't be a surprise if Joseph ends up having his minutes limited.

Kings coach Luke Walton said Joseph (heel) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Pistons, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Walton admitted, however, that De'Aaron Fox (abdomen) -- who is also a game-time call -- is "much more likely to play" than Joseph.

Joseph made a spot start for the injured Fox in Thursday's loss to the Thunder before reverting to a lower-minute role off the bench in Friday's win over the Grizzlies, when Fox returned to the lineup. Both point guards are apparently still banged up coming out of the back-to-back set, with Joseph's bruised right heel being viewed as the greater concern. Assuming the veteran ends up sitting Sunday, Yogi Ferrell would likely serve as the top backup to Fox.

Joseph is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons with a right heel contusion, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

The 28-year-old presumably suffered the injury during Friday's win over Memphis when he had five points, four assists and one steal in 15 minutes. Joseph's participation at the morning shootaround could provide a better idea of his potential availability Sunday.

Joseph will come off the bench Friday against the Grizzlies.

With De'Aaron Fox (abdomen) available, Joseph will return to his usual bench role. As a reserve this season, he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.6 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 20.7 minutes.

Joseph will start Thursday's game against the Thunder, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

With De'Aaron Fox (abdomen) ruled out, Joseph will get the nod at point guard. In 21 prior starts, he's averaged 6.2 points, 4.7 assists and 2.9 rebounds across 30.5 minutes.

Joseph is in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Mavericks, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.

Joseph was a late addition to the starting five in place of Harry Giles, as the Kings are employing a small-ball lineup to begin the game. Joseph is averaging 6.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 24.8 minutes this season.

Joseph recorded 16 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 33 minutes in Thursday's 124-103 win over the Clippers.

Coach Luke Walton has a history of keeping the hot hand on the floor, even if it compromises the production of his marquee players. Joseph recorded a staggering plus-minus of plus-28 as he skillfully distributed the ball and drained four threes in what was arguably his best game of the season.

Joseph (illness) scored zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and added four assists and one steal in 22 minutes Monday in the Kings' 114-112 loss to the Magic.

Joseph's availability was in doubt heading into the contest after he missed Sunday's practice, but the Kings gave him the green light to play when he checked out fine during pregame warmups. The veteran assumed his normal duties on the Kings' second unit and turned in his usual lackluster fantasy line. Top point guard De'Aaron Fox has been on an offensive heater of late and has fully moved past the sprained ankle that plagued him earlier this season, so Joseph won't be in line to see his role expand anytime soon.

Joseph (illness) will be available for Monday's game against Orlando.

Joseph's availability was up in the air for Monday's matchup due to an illness, but he's evidently feeling better and will be ready to roll off the bench. He's averaging 8.8 points and three assists over his last five games.

Joseph (illness) took part in the Kings' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Monday's game against the Magic, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Joseph missed practice Sunday after succumbing to a fever, but his presence at shootaround a day later bodes well for his chances of suiting up Monday. If cleared to play, Joseph will likely be in store for around 15-to-20 minutes off the bench.

Joseph (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.

Joseph missed Sunday's practice after his "fever spiked," and he's officially questionable heading into Monday's contest. Joseph's status should become more clear once the Kings are able to re-evaluate him during Monday's morning shootaround.
