Buddy Hield scored 21 points after getting benched before the Sacramento Kings' 98-81 win over the Chicago Bulls.

Luke Walton, who started Bogdan Bogdanovic over Hield, said he was looking to shake up the lineup following their recent struggles.

"We're a team and we're struggling to win games right now, so we're looking to see if different groups give us a better chance of doing that, so there's nothing permanent with it," said Walton after the game.

Hield said he was going to remain professional despite the benching. 

"[You] look at it professionally man. You come in and be ready and when coach calls your number you got out there and hoop," added Hield.
