Ty Lawson

Kings' Ty Lawson (groin) doubtful against Hawks

Sacramento Kings point guard Ty Lawson (groin) is listed as doubtful to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

What It Means:

Lawson is day-to-day with a mild adductor strain, meaning Darren Collison will be plenty busy on Friday night without much behind him. Malachi Richardson could see the biggest boost in minutes while Ben McLemore and Arron Afflalo also see more opportunity.

Lawson is averaging 24.6 minutes per game this season and has the sixth-highest usage rate on the team (18.9 percent). His -1.8 nERD is fourth-worst on the Kings.
