George Hill (groin) practices for Kings, hopeful for Wednesday's opener

Sacramento Kings guard George Hill (groin) practiced on Monday and is optimistic about his status for Wednesday's opener against the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Hill injured his groin during Thursday's preseason game, but today's practice session is an encouraging sign towards him playing on Wednesday night. If Hill is active, rookie De'Aaron Fox will likely come off the bench in his NBA debut.

numberFire's models project Hill to average 16.4 points, 4.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.8 3-pointers over 32.7 minutes per game (68 games) this season.
