Kmart out of business

Yea I am sure you have heard the word, the leading scorer of the team is out for four to six weeks, but I don't think this is the end of what was looking to be a promising start to the season.

Kevin is the only King averaging over 20 points a game and is obviously their go-to guy, but while he sits a guy that played great in the absence of Ron Artest at the start of the season will fill his role. John Salmons was averaging 18 points a game when he was filling in for Ron and there is so reason to believe he can't do that again.

Combine that with the brand of basketball Reggie Theus has the guys playing (hard nosed, defensive minded) and you could still see a pretty competitive team. At 8-10 and a solid home record, the Kings are starting to get some recognition, even from TNT analyst Charles Barkley who has always been a harsh critic of the Kings.

So yes Kevin will be missed, but also remember, when he comes back it will be around the time Mike Bibby will be ready to suit up and barring any other injuries, the Kings will have their lineup at full strength.

Not all is lost Kings fans, except the chances at Kevin making the all-star team this year. Up until now he would have had to been one of the top candidates for those on the cusp of making it. With an injury sidelining him for some time that likely will not happen. But hey, there is always the next four years of that contract!
