Kings Trade Davion Mitchell and Sasha Vezenkov To Raptors
The Sacramento Kings traded point guard Davion Mitchell and forward Sasha Vezenkov to the Toronto Raptors for forward Jalen McDaniels on Thursday, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The trade gives the Kings some flexibility, opening up a roster spot. Mitchell was the No. 9 pick in 2021. Last season he averaged 5.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 15.3 minutes per game. Vezenkov averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds during his first season in the NBA. McDaniels averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in his only season as a Raptor.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (chest) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Sunday's clash with Houston. He was initially iffy for the game with right chest soreness. Mitchell's role has fluctuated throughout the campaign, and he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy value if De'Aaron Fox is in the lineup. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.4 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 13.5 minutes over the course of the season.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell will start on Wednesday against the Nuggets. De'Aaron Fox (knee) was injured on Tuesday versus Miami, although there's a good chance he'll be back on Friday night when the Kings travel to Minnesota. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Mitchell has averaged just 8.3 points and 1.0 steals in three starts this year, so he's hard to trust in any format.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (illness) is available for Monday's meeting with New Orleans. He was out on Saturday against Denver with an illness but has recovered from the bug and isn't on the injury report anymore. The third-year player from Baylor has averaged 5.1 points and 2.6 assists for the season in 16.9 minutes. He's had a couple of strong outings, but the Kings use Mitchell mainly as a good defensive presence, and he isn't very productive from a fantasy perspective.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell will shift into the starting five for the foreseeable future, according to head coach Mike Brown. The Kings are going to be without De'Aaron Fox (ankle) for multiple weeks, which is a significant blow to their rotation. Mitchell is expected to get a bigger opportunity with Fox sidelined. He is averaging 15.2 points and 6.3 assists as a starter in his career. Colby Jones should also get more minutes without Fox available, but Mitchell is the player to roster right now in fantasy leagues.
The Kings have exercised the third-year team option for guard Davion Mitchell on Thursday. The 24-year-old averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 steals, and 2.2 rebounds in 75 games as a rookie last season. However, he played considerably better in 19 games in the starting lineup, posting 18.0 points and 7.4 assists. While Mitchell will likely come off the bench this season, he will still get minutes. He's also established himself as an imposing defensive presence, which will help make up for his last season's shoddy 31.6% shooting from deep.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell had seemingly no issues during the regular season finale against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. He finished with 18 points, 15 assists, three rebounds in 40 minutes during their victory over the Suns. Mitchell notched his third double-double of the season. He has been averaging 18 points and seven assists over the last month. The young guard appears to be a focal point of this team going forward. There are risks with drafting Mitchell in 9-cat leagues next season. However, the upside in his game should outweigh the risk.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to right hand soreness. However, it sounds like both Mitchell and Jeremy Lamb (ankle) will be ready to go on Thursday. Mitchell should get plenty of run with Tyrese Hailburton not in town anymore. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Mitchell is still available.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He appears to be a new addition to the injury report due to right hand soreness. His absence would mean an increased workload for De'Aaron Fox. Also, Donte DiVincenzo and Justin Holiday would likely see more playing time. DiVincenzo could be a sneaky streaming option if Mitchell is unable to go against Chicago.
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both Mitchell and Alex Len will be available for this contest. However, the majority of the Kings roster is healthy, which hurts the value of these two players. Len won't be on the fantasy radar, while Mitchell will lose opportunities to other guards. Fantasy managers should monitor Mitchell, but he's not a must-roster player right now.
