Zach LaVine To Undergo Season-Ending Hand Surgery

Zach LaVine will undergo surgery on his right hand after the All-Star break and is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the Kings‘ season, reports league insider Chris Haynes.

LaVine has missed the last three games for the Kings with what was described as a right fifth finger tendon injury.

LaVine is averaging 19.2 points per game this year, his lowest scoring rate since the 2017/18 season, and is posting career lows in assists (2.3) and rebounds (2.8). The Kings are currently tied for their longest losing streak in franchise history at 14 games and hold the worst record in the NBA.

LaVine holds a $48.9MM player option for next season, which he is expected to pick up.
