The Sacramento Kings have confirmed that guard DeMar DeRozan will miss Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to lower-back inflammation. This follows his absence in a previous matchup against the Wolves, where the Kings suffered a narrow overtime loss.

Additionally, forward Trey Lyles will be sidelined for an extended period due to a Grade 1 calf strain. His recovery will be assessed in 3-4 weeks. DeRozan's absence is significant as he is the Kings' second-leading scorer, averaging 22.6 points per game.
