Richaun Holmes is expected to return after a seven-game absence

After a seven-game absence due to a right eye laceration, Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes is set to return to action on Wednesday night.

According to Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee, the Kings are optimistic that Holmes will return to face the Los Angeles Clippers, giving Sacramento its starting center back at a time where the team is currently missing nearly half of its roster.

In addition to the return of Holmes, the Kings have signed guards Emmanuel Mudiay and Ade Murkey to 10-day contracts. Both players are expected to be active on Wednesday night.
