The Sacramento Kings made a significant adjustment to their starting lineup by opting for Keon Ellis over Kevin Huerter in their matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This decision by head coach Mike Brown comes during a challenging three-game losing streak.

Ellis, who has demonstrated impressive shooting and defensive capabilities, previously closed the last season as a starter. His recent performance, including a career-high 33 points against the Atlanta Hawks, likely influenced this lineup change. The Kings hope this shift will help break their losing streak and improve their overall performance.
