Mike Brown, the uber-detailed head coach with abundant credibility, has the Sacramento Kings on track to end the team’s playoff drought after 16 seasons. Here’s how he’s doing it.

Brandon Ingram didn’t suffer any setback/re-injure his left great toe against the Lakers last night, but he is batting some soreness in that area. Remember, he’s not 100% yet despite returning to play several games ago. – 5:21 PM

Jonas Valanciunas will not play tonight against the Kings. His MRI came back clean, but the Pelicans are holding him out a day for precautionary reasons (some soreness).
It’ll be the first missed game of the season for JV. – 5:18 PM

Valanciunas is out for tonight. Had MRI that “came back clean” according to Willie Green. Ingram has some soreness in toe, which is why he will not play tonight vs. Kings – 5:17 PM

Willie Green: Jonas Valanciunas’ MRI came back clean. Pelicans will hold him out tonight though because of soreness.
Brandon Ingram did not re-injure the toe but was feeling sore so that’s why he’s out tonight. – 5:17 PM

Confirmed via league office: NBA commissioner Adam Silver will select an injury replacement if a player is unable to participate in the All-Star Game, but at this point they aren’t saying when or if that will occur. De’Aaron Fox has to be on the shortlist if Steph Curry is out. – 4:11 PM

The Pelicans will next face the Mavericks on March 8. We could presumably see Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson go up against Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. – 3:08 PM

Good news for the Pelicans: Jonas Valanciunas is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game.
His right knee injury is now right quadriceps soreness.
Looks like JV avoided and major injuries on Saturday. Doesn’t look like he’ll miss much time. – 2:09 PM

Quick thread showing all the little things Herb Jones did in the 4th quarter to help the Pels snap their 10-game losing streak.
He only had 4 points, but he was still one of the best players on the floor. – 1:49 PM

I’m guessing Ja Morant will be elevated to start the All-Star Game. He was third in fan voting and overall in the guard voting.
Who replaces Stephen Curry will be interesting. De’Aaron Fox? Anthony Edwards? Someone else? – 1:36 PM
