Kevin Martin Out 7-10 Days

by Tom Ziller on Nov 10, 2008 4:35 PM PST in News

An MRI taken on Kevin Martin's left ankle today at the UC Davis Medical Center confirmed his sprain, and the Kings shooting guard is expected to miss seven to 10 days.

Lovely.

Remember how we used to have a bunch of swingmen?

With Cisco and Douby injured, what now?

Let's go home.-Kevin Martin

Start JT at the 3

and Salmons at the 2.

Ball movement ... is like jogging for most people: They do it occasionally, and it makes them happy. Then they go back to not doing it. - Henry Abbott

I think Theus is going to start B-Jax

but the rest of the game is another story. I’m sure Reggie will use JT at the 3 and Salmons at the 2 a lot

I think you're probably right

I was just throwing out another idea.

Ohhh and don't forget

This may open up some minutes for double E

but I don’t think he can play 15+ anymore on a consistent basis. I don’t remember the schedule off the top of my head; but I am guessing that if Kevin is out a week to 10days, he is going to miss 4 – 6 games. So, there is no choice but to play Salmons at the 2 quite a bit and then let JT play some 3. You are also going to see a lot more of BB when we can go small.

Not an option

Per the Salary Cap FAQ

Ten-day contracts are available to be used starting January 5 (or the first business day thereafter) each season.

When?

When does SAR roster spot come off our books,214 said sometime in NOV. ,does anyone know the date?

Thanks Kfan

There goes my idea…

by eduardo_m7 on Nov 10, 2008 5:12 PM PST up reply actions

Sure but you can sign a guy and drop him a few days later...

Ten day contracts are one thing but you can give a guy a non-guaranteed contract anytime. If a player is still on the roster at a certain point of the season his contract becomes guaranteed but that isn’t until February sometime. I’m not sure how bad Douby is feeling but if my professional career was in the balance and I had to play through an amputation- I would.

Hot dogs, get your hot dogs.

stand pat and play with what you have

I think MM may see some time at the 3, Salmons at SG with Hawes and Miller at the 4 &5

Same here

Except I also lost Cisco, Devin Harris, and Rodney Stuckey

Douby?

What’s the latest on Douby? Seems like Tuesday would be a great time for him to come back.

Shut up and Coach

So to recap -

We will get 12-14 games into our season with our “starting five” together for two of those games. In the words of the immortal David Byrne, “Same as it ever was…”

SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!

LOL

I think the Kings will be fine for tomorrow’s game honestly. At least they’ll give us a good game.

BOOK IT!

I think

Starting Bobby Brown at the two is the best solution. He has showed well recently, especially his shooting. Have BJax come off the bench and do a three way rotation, Beno, Bobby and Bobby.
