The organization announced that Alex Len will miss six to eight weeks of action due to a "moderate but stable" high ankle sprain.

Len picked up the injury during the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. So far this season, he's been averaging 2.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in just over six minutes of playing time.

Len's absence might give a chance to Kings first-year big man Filip Petrusev, who has been linked with Olympiacos Piraeus in the EuroLeague following his rough start to the NBA experience.

With 7 wins and 4 losses, the Kings are currently 5th in the Western Conference.
