Sacramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks: preview and player stats

Achiuwa left Tuesday's 107-100 loss to the Magic with a left lower leg contusion and did not return, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports. With Achiuwa exiting the game after 14 minutes, more minutes became available for Dylan Cardwell. If Achiuwa needs to miss Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Keegan Murray would likely return to the starting lineup, and Cardwell would have the chance for some extended run.

Simmons underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles tendon, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Simmons had a quality preseason, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 17.4 minutes per contest (two games). The 30-year-old was on track to suit up for the Kings on opening night, though those plans were halted after he suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice. Now, Simmons will focus on rehab. However, it's unknown what the future holds regarding his career in the NBA. Reported out for season.

Raynaud (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Orlando. Raynaud is expected to be re-evaluated soon, though he can be considered week-to-week until the Kings offer an update on his status. Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa will likely continue seeing increased burn in Raynaud's absence.

Herro (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against New York. Herro was listed as questionable ahead of this contest. However, he has been downgraded to out, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Lakers. With Herro sidelined, Ryan Rollins could enter the starting lineup for the first time since the 136-111 loss to Cleveland on Oct. 31.
