9 Cory Joseph PG

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.

Coach Luke Walton said Joseph (illness) missed Sunday's practice after the veteran guard's "fever spiked," Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Walton noted that Joseph hasn't been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic, but the 28-year-old looks to be more doubtful than questionable for the contest at this point. Expect the Kings to provide an official ruling on Joseph's status after having a chance to re-evaluate him during Monday's morning shootaround.

Joseph (illness) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Milwaukee.

Joseph missed Thursday's practice due to illness, but he'll be ready to roll Friday evening. He's finished in double figures in each of his last two matchups off the bench.

Joseph did not practice Thursday due to an illness, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Chances are, it's nothing too serious, but Joseph should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup against the Bucks.

Joseph compiled just two points, one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Sunday's 120-115 loss to Denver.

Joseph moved back to the bench with De'Aaron Fox returning after a one-game absence. Even as a starter, Joseph never really had any value in standard leagues. The limited value he did have all but evaporates with Fox on the floor, so he can be dropped in all competitive formats.

Joseph totaled 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 112-110 loss to the Suns.

Joseph was back in the starting lineup after De'Aaron Fox (back) was ruled out. We have already seen Joseph in a starting role this season and the results have been mediocre at best. Even if Fox is forced to miss further time, Joseph is not someone to target in standard leagues.

Joseph will draw the start Jason Jones of The Athletic Saturday against the Suns.

With De'Aaron Fox (back) sidelined, Joseph will step into a starting role. Across 19 previous starts, he's averaged 5.8 points, 4.7 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 30.8 minutes.

Joseph will come off the bench Saturday against the Grizzlies, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

With De'Aaron Fox back in the starting five, Joseph will resume his usual role off the bench. In his nine appearances off the bench this season, he's averaged 6.4 points, 2.2 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 17.1 minutes.

Joseph tallied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes Tuesday in the Kings' 110-102 loss to the Hornets.

The Kings kept Joseph in the starting five in De'Aaron Fox's (ankle) return from a 17-game absence, but the former predictably saw his playing time fall by the wayside. Joseph had only averaged 5.8 points, 4.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.5 minutes while Fox was sidelined, which had already kept him off the radar in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Joseph produced seven points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes Sunday in the Kings' 100-79 win over the Warriors.

Joseph turned in yet another underwhelming stat line, as has been the norm in his 17-game run as the Kings' starting point guard. His time on the top unit could come to an end as soon as Tuesday in Charlotte, as De'Aaron Fox (ankle) is eyeing a return to action for that contest. Fox may be eased back into the mix with a lower minutes load than normal, but Joseph's minimal fantasy value would stand to take another hit in any case.

Joseph (back) is starting Friday's game against the Knicks, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Joseph was added to the injury report with lower back soreness, though he'll get the starting nod Friday as expected. He's started the last 15 contests for the Kings, averaging 5.7 points and 4.9 dimes over that stretch.

Joseph is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to lower back soreness.

Joseph was cleared to play Wednesday and logged 24 minutes, so the team is likely placing him on the injury report as a precaution here. He'll have his status cleared up closer to tipoff.

Joseph (back) is starting at point guard Wednesday against the Thunder, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Joseph has been nursing a sore back lately but has yet to miss time as a result, a trend that will continue Wednesday. Since joining the starting lineup in mid-November, Joseph is averaging 5.6 points, 5.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 32.3 minutes per game.
