Kings' DeRozan (back tightness) exits win early
Written by I Dig Sports
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sacramento Kings guard DeMar DeRozan was ruled out of Wednesday night's 127-104 win over the Phoenix Suns because of lower back tightness, the team announced.
DeRozan did not emerge from the locker room after halftime and was ruled out shortly afterward. He scored two points on 1-of-2 shooting in 17 minutes in the first half.
So far this year, DeRozan has been Mr. Clutch for Sacramento; he's scored 36 points in the clutch this season -- the second-best mark in the league. Overall, he's averaging 24.8 points on 52.6% shooting in 38 minutes.
Losing DeRozan for any extended period would be a major hit since the Kings already are playing without sixth man Malik Monk (ankle) for at least two weeks.
