Ankle
February 18, 2026
Cardwell sprained his left ankle at Tuesday's practice and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
The timing is unfortunate for the rookie with Domantas Sabonis (knee) set to miss the remainder of the season. Based on this timetable, the earliest possible return for Cardwell is March 19. The rookie has been a bright spot for the team, posting 5.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.2 minutes across 29 appearances. Maxime Raynaud should step into a starting role until Cardwell is cleared to play again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Christie gives him accolades
CSacramento Kings
February 7, 2026
Kings head coach Doug Christie had strong praise for Cardwell, who recently earned a standard contract from the team, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
"He earned that through really, really hard work with a lot of good development down in the G League and here with our coaches," Christie said. "The kid has done a hell of a job. I don't know that proud is the word because it goes beyond that. I'm proud of him and proud for him because he did the work. Kudos to him because that doesn't happen often and he affects winning." With the Kings looking towards the future and Domantas Sabonis battling some nagging injuries, Cardwell could see an expanded role down the stretch.
