Huerter struggled throughout the 2023-24 season, averaging just 10.2 points per game on 36.1 percent shooting from deep. After a long offseason filled with rehab to heal his shoulder, Huerter is expected to bounce back and return to his proper form from two years ago.

Huerter (shoulder) was able to increase his activity at Tuesday's practice as he continues to progress to full-contact work, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Kings guard Kevin Huerter appears to be on the verge of a return to the starting lineup seven months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Huerter and forward Trey Lyles (groin) were full participants in practice Tuesday after missing training camp and the preseason.
