You knew Sacramento had the advantage on the glass and in the paint, and that Tyreke Evans had a huge size advantage on the perimeter. But the Warriors are deep with talent (Anthony Morrow and C.J. Watson are legit, and Anthony Randolph shouldn't be third-string anywhere) and the roster is filled...

The end of the draft got pretty ugly, with quite a few players being picked based solely on one double digit scoring or rebounding game. I mean, who is Omri Casspi, Dahntay Jones, or Luc Mbah a Moute? This is like the worst case spelling bee NBA edition. The most mysterious player however, has to be Oleksiy Pecherov. The seven footer lit up the Celtics for 24 points earlier in the week and then gathered...

The Bee reports that today Martin will decide whether to undergo surgery to repair his broken wrist (missing 6-8 weeks), sit 6-8 weeks in the hopes it will heal on its own, or slap on a soft cast and play through it, risking a full break (and a longer recovery). The "smart" move would be...

The signing of Ime Udoka , like the signing of Desmond Mason before it, portends little for the Sacramento Kings . Udoka, like Mason, is an aging defensive roleplayer whose a bit of a drain on offense at a position where the Kings have plenty of talent. Udoka turned 32 years old last August, having only three seasons of real NBA experience. He served as Portland's starting small forward in the halycon...

When the talent pool is shallow, you fill it up whenever possible. That was the rough logic behind the Kings' signing of Ime Udoka on Wednesday. The 6-foot-5, sixth-year swingman spent the last two seasons as a key reserve for San Antonio, averaging 18.0 and 15.4 minutes, respectively. He was a strong defensive presence and an occasional three-point threat, although his 32.8 three-point percentage...

Rookie Omri Casspi of Israel has adjusted to the NBA style of play and secured a spot in coach Paul Westphal's rotation. Comfort wasn't easy to come by for Omri Casspi. He hadn't experienced it in July summer league in Las Vegas, where the Kings' rookie small forward from Israel looked like a man in a foreign land even on the basketball court. The real culture shock came later, when Casspi began switching...

Real Madrid and Audi once again reasserted the fruitful relationship they've been having since 2003. As part of the sponsorship deal between both entities, the first football team squad -save for Lass Diarra, who is still in France with permission from the Club- received the keys to their new Audi cars for the 2009/10 season. The act took place at Madrid Snowzone, the longest indoor ski slope in Europe....

Despite several high-profile cases of gym mishaps involving notable athletes, including the Sacramento Kings' Francisco Garcia, accidents involving equipment in health clubs, gymnasiums and team weight rooms hardly are common, experts say. For every Garcia - the Kings' 6-foot-7 guard-forward who broke his right wrist Oct. 9 while hoisting dumbbells and had to undergo surgery after the ball he was sitting...

CHRISTIAN PETERSEN Getty Images Spencer Hawes dunks in Tuesday's loss to Phoenix. Hawes was taken out in the first quarter for his poor defensive play. Coach Paul Westphal says Hawes is working hard on his game. OKLAHOMA CITY – When it comes to the Kings' starting center, there will be the ups and downs of youth.

It came a week ago Friday – the pop, then the crack and finally the scream. The pop? It was sound of an exercise ball bursting. The Kings' Francisco García was sitting upon it, lifting weights. As he fell, he cracked his wrist. Then came the scream. It was a freak accident, but to Kings fans, it seemed like a harbinger of things to come. The beginning of another dismal Kings season? Let's...

LAS VEGAS – When Francisco García went down in an exercise-ball heap last Friday, the question almost immediately arose as to which Kings small forward would step up. Omri Casspi was not the consensus pick. The rookie drafted 23rd overall by the Kings in June had been the most maligned player in training camp and early in the exhibition season, with coach Paul Westphal agonizing over the...

Surely our friendly neighborhood health clubs, supposedly temples of longevity and Lycra, cannot actually be injurious to our health. Surely the several high-profile cases of gym mishaps involving notable athletes, including the Kings' Francisco García and USC football player Stafon Johnson, are flukes. And that guy in Chicago suing his health club over a deflated Swiss ball, that man in Taiwan...
