Chuck Hayes Could Be Cleared To Play Against Jazz

PrintThe Sacramento Kings visit the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, and Chuck Hayes could be back in the rotation, per Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee. Hayes practiced with the team this week, including before the game against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. But he still hasn't been cleared by the medical staff to get on the court, though he and Keith Smart hope he'll be able to get out there in Salt Lake City.
Hayes has been out since Smart's first game as head coach, a home win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Hayes separated his shoulder in that game. Chuckwagon will be wearing a shoulder brace that he compares to a straightjacket when he is back on the court. It's unclear whether he'd immediately replace Jason Thompson in the starting lineup or slide in behind him off of the bench.
Marcus Thornton remains out with a hematoma on his quad.

Hope the team brings him back slowly.
He’s an integral part of our front court rotation, but I’m in favor of bringing him off the bench for now. Let him work back into the lineup in 5-6 minute increments.

I am VERY excited for this game. Can’t wait to see if Jimmer keeps progressing and how the chuckwagon does..haven’t seen him play in along time now..he might be the missing piece that helps us take this game.

Go Kings!
The extra day of practice and rest should help the Kings some. If the Jazz get 90+ points in the paint I’m going to nut up. They’re fortunate to be getting Chuck back, he’ll help out a little in that dept.

Looking forward to this game.
Hope Chuck finds luck, Jimmer shimmers, and Thomas shows his promise.
Asked if the Kings had any intention of trading Cousins, basketball president Geoff Petrie said, "No."

Hope he can stay healthy
We never rally got a chance to see what he could do or what the team could look like with him once everything gelled.
Bad fit
because you would have 4 guys on the court who can’t shoot from distance. Reke Harris DMC and our PF collection. Paint would be packed all night long. They would all end up being worse than they are no. A big no vote from Roseville.
35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.

I think I speak for everyone when I say
Ew.
Even though the voices aren't real, they have some pretty good ideas!
