The recent trend of injuries for the Sacramento Kings continues with forward Skal Labissiere being the latest victim. Labissiere has missed the last two games after being medically examined and diagnosed with a rotator cuff muscle strain on Tuesday.

Now, after further examination, the 6-11 forward will miss an additional two to three weeks due to a left shoulder strain.

In 33 games this season, Labissiere is averaging 7.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and is shooting 47% from the field. He recently enjoyed his best scoring night of the season, dropping 23 points on January 22nd vs the Charlotte Hornets.
