Koufos agreed to a contract Friday with the NBA G League Ignite team.

EDGE Analysis

A 2008 first-round selection of the Jazz, Koufos spent 11 seasons in the NBA before spending the past two seasons overseas with a pair of EuroLeague clubs. The 32-year-old big man will now return stateside to join the Ignite squad, seemingly hopeful that a strong showing in the G League will result in another opportunity at the NBA level. Koufos owns career averages of 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game over 686 regular-season appearances in the NBA.

Koufos agreed to a contract with CSKA Moscow on Friday, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After testing the free agent market, it appears Koufos found the best opportunity for himself overseas, where he will be the highest paid American player in Europe. Injuries hampered Koufos' last season in the NBA, as he appeared in just 42 games for the Kings and played just 12.0 minutes per game.

Koufos (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Koufos will remain out for a second straight game to end the season as he deals with a calf strain. With Harry Giles shut down, the Kings will likely lean heavily on Marvin Bagley and Willie Cauley-Stein, while second-year big man Caleb Swanigan could also see some run in what's ultimately a meaningless game.

Koufous (calf) is out for Sunday's game against New Orleans, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koufos left Friday's contest against the Jazz early due to suffering a calf strain. As a result, the veteran center will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup. With one game remainining on the Kings' schedule, Koufos is averaging 3.7 points and 4.2 rebounds across 42 games played.

Koufos will not return to Friday's game against the Jazz due to a calf strain, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koufos provided six points (3-4 FG) and four rebounds across 12 minutes before suffering the injury. Expect an update on his status once more information is provided

Koufos collected two points (1-3 FG), 11 rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 113-106 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Koufos has appeared in six straight games, and he hauled in a season high rebounding total in this one. The absences of Marvin Bagley (illness) and Harry Giles (thigh) resulted in Koufos being called upon to play his highest minute total since Dec. 17. If either of the aforementioned young big men are ready to return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup versus the Rockets, Koufos will be unlikely to earn such a significant share of playing time.

Koufos (coach's decision) didn't see the floor Monday in the Kings' 115-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third consecutive game that Koufos has failed to leave the bench, signaling that he's lost his spot in the rotation to Harry Giles. While Koufos is a long-time favorite of coach Dave Joerger for the intangibles he provides, there isn't much incentive for the Kings to hand the 29-year-old regular playing time with the organization prioritizing the development of Giles and fellow rookie Marvin Bagley.

Koufos contributed four points (2-7 FG), eight rebounds, and two blocks in 15 minutes during Friday's 102-99 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Koufos played pretty well in this his first start of the season, albeit in limited minutes. The lineup change likely had more to do with matching the opponent's super-sized front line of Jaren Jackson and Marc Gasol than promoting Koufos. With that being said, he swatted a season high block total while matching his best rebounding effort of the campaign as well. Moreover, Koufos has hauled in at least eight boards in three of the last four contests.

Koufos will get the start at center for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings have opted to go with a big in the frontcourt to counter the Grizzlies by starting bout Koufos and Willie Cauley-Stein. It will be the veteran big man's first start of the season.

Koufos had zero points (0-3 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes of action Saturday against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran didn't make much of an impact, but he returned to the court for the first time in more than three weeks after a calf injury sidelined him for eight games. Expect Koufos to continue to serve as a backup to Willie Cauley-Stein, though he's unlikely to see enough minutes to be fantasy-relevant.
