St Kilda forward Max King is ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a left hamstring strain. The club confirms the injury occurred during King’s return game on Sunday, and the strain is described as season-ending. All reports agree that King will not play again until at least next year, indicating the recovery timeline extends beyond the current season.

The injury is characterized as a hamstring problem on King’s left side, with the club placing the prognosis at a minimum of several months. As a result, King’s availability for the rest of the competition is effectively ruled out. The reports provide consistent details: the specific muscle area (left hamstring), that the injury happened in his comeback match, and that St Kilda has formally confirmed the season-ending nature of the problem.

No additional competing claims or differing timelines are presented across the outlets, and the information is framed strictly around the club’s assessment and King’s expected return date.
