Noel Harris @NorCalNoel916
Mike Brown, the uber-detailed head coach with abundant credibility, has the Sacramento Kings on track to end the team’s playoff drought after 16 seasons. Here’s how he’s doing it.

Malik Monk sinking the Kings with this absurd three-point play remains one of the toughest game-winners we don’t really talk about…

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Via #Pelicans TV statistician/maven Tommy Cooper, Saturday vs. Lakers was only the second time this season New Orleans has won a game after losing both the first and second quarters – 5:34 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
Jonas Valančiūnas is OUT for tonight’s game. – 5:23 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Brandon Ingram didn’t suffer any setback/re-injure his left great toe against the Lakers last night, but he is batting some soreness in that area. Remember, he’s not 100% yet despite returning to play several games ago. – 5:21 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Jonas Valanciunas is out. MRI was clean. Just a day to day thing, Willie Green says. – 5:19 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Willie Green said Brandon Ingram did not re-injure the toe but is dealing with a little soreness. – 5:18 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Jonas Valanciunas will not play tonight against the Kings. His MRI came back clean, but the Pelicans are holding him out a day for precautionary reasons (some soreness).
It’ll be the first missed game of the season for JV. – 5:18 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Valanciunas is out for tonight. Had MRI that “came back clean” according to Willie Green. Ingram has some soreness in toe, which is why he will not play tonight vs. Kings – 5:17 PM

Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Willie Green: Jonas Valanciunas’ MRI came back clean. Pelicans will hold him out tonight though because of soreness.
Brandon Ingram did not re-injure the toe but was feeling sore so that’s why he’s out tonight. – 5:17 PM

James Ham @James_HamNBA
Brandon Ingram (toe), Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Dyson Daniels (ankle) are all out today for the Pelicans. Jonas Valanciunas (quad) is doubtful.
De’Aaron Fox remains out with a personal issue for Sacramento. – 4:38 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Confirmed via league office: NBA commissioner Adam Silver will select an injury replacement if a player is unable to participate in the All-Star Game, but at this point they aren’t saying when or if that will occur. De’Aaron Fox has to be on the shortlist if Steph Curry is out. – 4:11 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
The Pelicans will next face the Mavericks on March 8. We could presumably see Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson go up against Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. – 3:08 PM

When you plan ahead and score a sober ride home, that’s made for beamin.’ Light the Beam or not, #BeamTeam always makes #SacramentoProud by choosing a safer way to go. #paidpartnership

Adi Joseph @AdiJoseph
Have to think Chris Holtmann thought he’d have at least one of EJ Liddell and Malaki Branham back when planning this year’s squad. – 2:54 PM
Dave Mason @DeuceMason
Kings-Pelicans injury report:
▫️De’Aaron Fox is out (personal reasons)

▫️Jonas Valanciunas is doubtful (right quad soreness)
▫️Zion still out (hamstring strain)

Christian Clark @cclark_13
Asked Brandon Ingram if he felt pain last night in his toe. Here’s what he said: pic.twitter.com/F3eIAAi0Ow2:34 PM

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
The New Orleans Pelicans are listing Jonas Valanciunas (quad) as doubtful for tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings. Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) are out. – 2:31 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
OK then. Brandon Ingram ruled out with left great toe soreness. – 2:25 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Pelicans say Brandon Ingram will sit out tonight’s game vs Sacramento since it’s the second night of a back to back. – 2:25 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
The New Orleans Pelicans have ruled Brandon Ingram (toe) out for tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings. – 2:24 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Jonas Valanciunas doubtful against Kings with right quad soreness.
Dyson Daniels remains out.
Brandon Ingram all clear to play. – 2:09 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Good news for the Pelicans: Jonas Valanciunas is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game.
His right knee injury is now right quadriceps soreness.
Looks like JV avoided and major injuries on Saturday. Doesn’t look like he’ll miss much time. – 2:09 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
#Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas listed as doubtful to play Sunday vs. Sacramento. A key Kings guard is listed as out. @MorrisBartLLC injury report: https://t.co/qX5paDoN9v pic.twitter.com/ui14fVErMk2:07 PM

Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Quick thread showing all the little things Herb Jones did in the 4th quarter to help the Pels snap their 10-game losing streak.
He only had 4 points, but he was still one of the best players on the floor. – 1:49 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I’m guessing Ja Morant will be elevated to start the All-Star Game. He was third in fan voting and overall in the guard voting.
Who replaces Stephen Curry will be interesting. De’Aaron Fox? Anthony Edwards? Someone else? – 1:36 PM
