2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ellis had a terrific third NBA campaign with the Kings in 2024-25. He ended up with 80 regular-season appearances (28 starts), posting averages of 8.2 points, 1.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers on 48.9 percent shooting from the field. In just 24.4 minutes per contest, Ellis produced a ninth-round finish in standard nine-category leagues on a per-game basis. The Kings didn't make a ton of noise in the offseason despite some changes in the front office. DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk were rumored to be on the trade block, but nothing came to fruition. Sacramento's big addition was presumed starting point guard Dennis Schroder, and the club also signed Russell Westbrook ahead of the regular season. The backcourt is certainly crowded when you throw Zach LaVine and Devin Carter into the mix, but Ellis certainly proved his worth in 2024-25 and has the talent to carve out a sizable role. With elite steal and block rates, Ellis has intrigue, but his ceiling just won't be that high until the Kings clear up this logjam in the backcourt. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $2.8 million contract with the Kings in February of 2024. Contract includes $2.3 million team option for 2025-26. Kings exercised their $2.3 million team option in Ellis' contract for the 2025-26 campaign in June of 2025
Barely visible in loss
Ellis had three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two blocks and one steal in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Ellis played a limited role off the bench once again, a trend that is all too familiar when it comes to what we have seen over the past couple of years. Despite a small amount of defensive upside, his offensive shortcomings are clearly evident. He has scored double digits only twice thus far, averaging 6.2 points through the first 11 games. There is no reason to consider him a viable asset, even in slightly deeper formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Christie explains lack of minutes
Kings coach Doug Christie said it's been difficult finding minutes for Ellis in Sacramento's deep rotation, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reported Sunday.
ANALYSIS
"Trying to play 10 players and finding a rhythm for that is difficult, like there's a logjam at that position," Christie said. "One guy plays near the whole game, the other guy plays a few minutes and then there's Keon. But I know in this league that things happen how they happen, and the one thing we're going to do is try to figure it out." Christie did go on to say that Ellis "will get his opportunity," and it helps Ellis' case that his primary strength is defense on a team that is struggling mightily on that end.
