Kings' Willie Cauley-Stein (back) to miss at least two games
Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein will miss at least the next two games due to a lower back strain.
What It Means:
The Kings have no playoff hopes this season, and it's no surprise that head coach Dave Joerger has said that he will exercise caution in working the 24-year-old Cauley-Stein back into the lineup. Look for Jakarr Sampson to see an increase in playing time with Cauley-Stein on the shelf.
numberFire's models project Cauley-Stein to average 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game over the remainder of the season.
