Kings small forward Rudy Gay is listed as doubtful on Sacramento’s injury report for Saturday’s game against the Wizards due to a left patellar tendon strain.

The injury was sustained in Friday’s 114-107 Kings loss to the Sixers in Philadelphia.

The 28-year-old is averaging 24.9 points per night on the Kings' current eight-game road trip and overall on the season is 13th in the NBA averaging 20.6 points per game.

Gay has missed four games this season for the Kings due to injury including right achilles tendinitis (2), a left knee capsule sprain (1) and a sore left foot (1).

Joining Gay on the Kings' injury report are centers DeMarcus Cousins with a left ankle sprain (probable) and Ryan Hollins with a lower back strain (questionable).

The Kings (22-42) face the Wizards (37-28) Saturday at 4 p.m. PST in the finale of Sacramento's eight-game road trip.
