Kings coach Dave Joerger tipped his hand in Monday’s game against Maccabi Haifa. He will likely present a clearer picture of his regular-season rotation when the Kings play the Utah Jazz on Thursday night at Golden 1 Center before concluding their preseason schedule on the road Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Joerger used 14 players in a 132-100 victory over Maccabi Haifa, but only nine saw significant minutes. De’Aaron Fox and Frank Mason III started in the backcourt with Justin Jackson, Nemanja Bjelica and Willie Cauley-Stein. Buddy Hield, Yogi Ferrell, Harry Giles III and Marvin Bagley III played key roles off the bench.
