Carter recorded 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 132-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Carter saw more time on the court due to Zach LaVine's (finger) absence, and the Kings seem content to kick the tires for depth ahead of the break. The 2024 first-round pick hasn't done much in his second season with the Kings, but the team's reluctance to include him in trade talks indicates a strong desire to keep him in the fold. Unless the Kings make drastic changes and choose to bench their veterans, Carter's best chances to contribute are still a season away.

Carter notched 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Carter had his best outing of the season, chipping in across most major categories. Sacramento is in disarray at the moment, making it almost impossible to project fantasy value. With that said, it would make sense for Carter to be prioritized at some point, meaning managers will want to keep a close eye on his role as we enter the silly season.

Carter contributed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 11 minutes during Friday's 112-93 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Carter shifted into the rotation, taking advantage of what ended up being another blowout loss for the Kings. While there is a chance Carter will slide into a more meaningful role at some point, that's not yet the case. He has seen the court only twice in the past 12 games, scoring seven points in 18 minutes. For now, he is simply a name to monitor moving forward.

Carter (ankle) amassed four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one block in seven minutes during Tuesday's 131-90 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

After having been unavailable in Sacramento's previous three games due to a left ankle sprain, Carter saw the court for just the second time since Nov. 14. The second-year guard logged all seven of his minutes in the fourth quarter of the blowout loss, and he isn't guaranteed to be a regular part of the rotation even though he's healthy again.

Carter (ankle) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Carter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carter is dealing with a left ankle sprain and won't suit up Tuesday. The second-year guard has not been a regular part of Sacramento's rotation, so his absence shouldn't have any fantasy implications.

Carter is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained left ankle.

EDGE Analysis

It's a downgrade from questionable for Carter, who's trending towards sitting out Tuesday. His expected absence doesn't have major ramifications for the Kings, though Keon Ellis and Malik Monk should at least stay in the rotation.
