The Sacramento Kings announced Friday that Jahmi’us Ramsey will miss 2-3 weeks after an MRI confirmed a groin strain. We assume the injury happened in practice since Ramsey hasn’t seen the floor recently.
Ramsey was a second round pick for the Kings and has been used sparingly by Luke Walton, primarily appearing at the end of blowouts. In 16 minutes of action Jahmi’us has totaled 5 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
While it clearly isn’t an immediate impact for the Kings to lose a bench guy, it’s unfortunate that Ramsey misses out on this development time in practice.
Luckily Ramsey’s injury isn’t anything more serious and the Kings say he should make a full recovery.
The Kings may soon be able to add additional depth, as the league is reportedly looking to add a third two-way roster spot to each team.
Significant discussion on league's call with general managers today about expanding rosters by allowing a third two-way contract slot this season, sources tell ESPN. That'll have to be worked out with NBPA, but there's momentum toward it.

The new two-way slot would allow teams to add an 18th roster spot. Two-way deals are only for players with three years of service or less — and that is expected for the third two-way spot too, sources said. https://t.co/xSVV4i8dNu

In the meantime, we hope Jahmi’us has a speedy recovery.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Adding a 3rd two-way player, eh? So what happens when the two-way players hit their 50 game max with the Kings and there is no active G-League team for them to report to?
Quarantine them
When he gets better, Walton needs to start giving him & Woodard some minutes with starters so that we can see what the hell we’ve got with them.
Someone inform Walton that it’s job to be paid handsomely to develop players and lose ballgames. He’s still trying to weasel his way into another coaching gig on the Kings’ dime.
