Labissiere is out for personal reasons Tuesday against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
Labissiere has struggled to find minutes this season, last playing five minutes on Jan. 7. As a result, his absence shouldn't drastically affect the team.

Bogdanovic will start Tuesday against the Raptors.
With Iman Shumpert (rest) out, Bogdanovic will be inserted into the starting five. De'Aaron Fox (toe) and Nemanja Bjelica (back) are out as well, which could lead to extra usage for Bogdanovic. In seven starts this season, the sophomore is averaging 12.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals across 30.1 minutes.

Ferrell will step into the starting lineup for just the third time all season with De'Aaron Fox unavailable due to a toe injury. The 25-year-old is averaging 9.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 25.5 minutes as a starter this year.

Kings' Nemanja Bjelica: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
1H ago
Bjelica (back) will not play Tuesday against the Raptors, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It turns out Bjelica will be forced to miss at least one game as he nurses a tight lower back. Look for Marvin Bagley and Justin Jackson to benefit from increased run with Bjelica sidelined. The 30-year-old will have a trio of days to rest and recover before his next chance to play, which comes Friday against the Grizzlies.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Ruled out Tuesday
Rotowire
1H ago
Fox (toe) is out Tuesday against the Raptors, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Fox is "resting and recharging" after Monday's loss to Brooklyn, and he'll sit out Tuesday's matchup. In his stead, Yogi Ferrell and Frank Mason should see extended run at point guard.

Kings' Nemanja Bjelica: Nursing back tightness
Rotowire
2H ago
Bjelica is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to lower-back tightness.
It's unknown when Bjelica suffered the injury, but his status for Tuesday's contest is in doubt after being added to Sacramento's most recent injury report. If Bjelica can't go, expect either Marvin Bagley or Justin Jackson to get the call at power forward.

Kings' De'Aaron Fox: Questionable vs. Toronto
Rotowire
2H ago
Fox will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to soreness in his left big toe.
Fox's status for Tuesday's matchup in Toronto is up in the air after a toe injury flared up. His availability will likely get cleared up closer to tipoff.
Hield scored 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and recorded seven rebounds along with an assist across 27 minutes Monday against Brooklyn.
Hield turned in a disappointing final line by his standards, finishing well below his season scoring average on 40.0 percent shooting from the field. He did knock down three attempts from beyond the arc, however, hitting at a 50.0 percent clip. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 22.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his previous five matchups and will face a tough Toronto defense Tuesday in the second half of a back-to-back.

Kings' Justin Jackson: Strong contributions from bench
Rotowire
23H ago
Jackson posted 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and registered five rebounds along with a steal and a block across 29 minutes Monday against Brooklyn.
Jackson put together one of his most impressive outings of January, finishing in double figures for the fourth time this month (11 games). His playing time off the bench has been sporadic of late, averaging just over 20 minutes per contest over his previous four matchups despite logging 29 minutes Monday. It's likely that Jackson received more run in Brooklyn due to a lopsided game.

Kings' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Heads scoring effort from bench
Rotowire
1D ago
Bogdanovic registered 22 points (9-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 32 minutes Monday against Brooklyn.
Bogdanovic notched his first double-double of the season in a disappointing 123-94 loss on the road. He received a heavy workload off the bench and proved worthy of the opportunity, knocking down shots at a 47.4 percent clip from the field and 50.0 percent from deep. One of the only drawbacks of Bogdanovic's performance was his five turnovers, but he did more than enough across the board to make up for it.

Kings' Willie Cauley-Stein: Decent on limited shots
Rotowire
1D ago
Cauley-Stein finished Monday's game against Brooklyn with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes.
Cauley-Stein only attempted eight shots from the floor, but he knocked down six of those attempts in a lopsided loss on the road. The 25-year-old has been uncharacteristically held to just six rebounds in each of his previous two games, which is well below his season average of 8.9 boards per contest. Cauley-Stein will aim to return to form on the boards Tuesday against Toronto, especially seeing as rebounding is a key strength for the former first-round pick.
