Len (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers
EDGE Analysis
Len's absence will leave Trey Lyles and JaVale McGee as candidates to absorb the backup center minutes behind starter Domantas Sabonis. The 30-year-old's next opportunity to take the court will come Monday against the Heat.

Len (ankle) logged two minutes in Tuesday's 130-113 loss to the Trail Blazers, recording no statistics during his time on the floor.
EDGE Analysis
All of Len's playing time came in the fourth quarter, when the outcome of the game was already decided. Though he's fully healthy again after missing six weeks with a high-ankle sprain, Len looks to be behind Domantas Sabonis, JaVale McGee and Trey Lyles on the depth chart at center.

Len (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Len is available for the first time since Nov. 13. JaVale McGee was operating as the primary backup to Domantas Sabonis in Len's absence. In six appearances, Len has averaged 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 7.0 minutes, so his availability shouldn't impact Sacramento's rotation.

Len (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Len has been out since Nov. 13 due to a high ankle sprain, but rising to a questionable designation indicates that he's nearing a return. JaVale McGee has filled in admirably since Len's injury, improving Sacramento's defensive rating by 4.3 points per 100 possessions when he's on the court, although he's averaged just 4.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.5 minutes across his last six appearances. Len's box score production won't turn heads either, but his familiarity with Sacramento's offensive system and ability to offer back-up rim protection will be a relevant return for Sacramento's frontcourt.

Len (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Len hasn't played since Nov. 13 due to a right ankle sprain. While the veteran forward isn't expected to see game action for at least another week, his return to practice is a good sign of his availability in the near future.

Len is expected to miss six to eight weeks due to a moderate high ankle sprain, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
With this timetable, the earliest we'd likely see Len back on the floor is Dec. 29 against Atlanta. Len was on the fringe of the rotation before the injury, so it won't have many fantasy implications.

Len (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Len suffered a moderate high-ankle sprain Monday against the Cavaliers and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sidelined beyond Friday, but his next chance to return will be Sunday in Dallas.

MRI imaging confirmed Tuesday that Len suffered a moderate high ankle sprain in Monday's game versus the Cavaliers and he will be ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Lakers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wouldn't be surprising for Len to miss additional time due to his ankle injury, but his earliest opportunity to suit up will be Friday's contest against the Spurs. JaVale McGee will likely serve as Sacramento's backup center behind Domantas Sabonis in Len's absence.

Len (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
EDGE Analysis
Len was forced to exit early in Monday's win over Cleveland after suffering an ankle sprain. His inability to practice Tuesday bodes poorly for his availability Wednesday against the Lakers.
