Injuries

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings have two players listed as out as of this writing. Rudy Gay (out for the season with an Achilles injury) and Garrett Temple (hamstring) are both out for the Kings tonight.

Omri Casspi is listed as questionable with a calf injury. Casspi has missed the last 14 games with this injury but is eyeing a return for tonight’s game. Be sure to check on his status as the game approaches.

MUST READ: Playoffs Still There Even with Garrett Temple’s Injury

Ty Lawson is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury. Lawson injured his hamstring in Wednesday’s game against the Celtics and an MRI revealed a strain. He is probably out tonight and potentially misses a few more games as well.

The Kings’ injury list continues to grow, so I hope for healthy Kings the rest of the season.

Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have just two players listed on their injury report. Both Tiago Splitter (Calf) and Thabo Sefolosha (groin) are listed as out for tonight’s game. Down two rotation players is never ideal, but the Hawks are sitting pretty compared to Sacramento tonight.

Stay Alert

Be sure to check twitter or watch the pregame show to get the final statuses of Casspi and Lawson. Injuries are tricky and often are not reported until just before tipoff, so make sure to stay in the know.
