Tyrese Haliburton out for Friday's game
Sean Cunningham: Kings coach Luke Walton says Tyrese Haliburton is out tonight.
Eric Walden: Quin Snyder, on the Elijah Millsap accusation: “I’ve never heard anything remotely close to that said by Dennis. … And I’m sensitive to things like that — so I’d remember something like that. I’ve never heard anything like that come out of his mouth.”
Eric Walden: Erik Spoelstra, on Rudy Gobert: “He’s really unique. … He’s disruptive as heck in the paint and around the rim. … On the other end, he knows what he is and he sticks to it.”
Joe Mussatto: Daigneault on the decision to rest Al Horford on the front end of this back-to-back: “We do it purely based on what’s physically best for him. He’s very much a stakeholder in that process. To be honest with you, I’m not in the room even on those conversations.”
Joe Mussatto: Mark Daigneault said calling up Ty Jerome from the G League bubble was directly related to Hamidou Diallo’s injury. Diallo has been ruled out for tonight and tomorrow night at a minimum.
Kevin Chouinard: Lloyd Pierce said that Bogdan Bogdanovic got in a workout yesterday with some of the video guys. Bogdanovic is on the trip. Kris Dunn and De’Andre Hunter are not.
