The Kings will sit point guard George Hill and power forward Zach Randolph for rest during Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards at Golden 1 Center, the team announced Saturday.
That means rookie point guard De’Aaron Fox is in line to make his first start of the regular season, and it would come against All-Star John Wall.
Fox leads the Kings with 14.8 points and 5.0 assists per game in five games as a reserve this season. Rookie Frank Mason III is also likely to see a lot more time as Fox’s backup.
Skal Labissiere is the likely replacement for Randolph in the starting lineup.
