But even though the Kings are desperate for frontcourt scoring, Spencer Hawes is not expected to play in Tuesday's home opener against Seattle. He's awaiting word from the team's training staff as to when his NBA career officially can begin.</p> </p> "It feels a lot better," Hawes said. "I'm able to cut on it. ... Now it's just a question of testing it out in practice-type, game-like situations and trying to see how it responds and then going from there. It shouldn't be that much longer."</p> </p> The Kings are exercising caution, unwilling to bring back Hawes too early and set the table for another setback. -- <font color="#000000">Sacramento Bee</font></p> </p></div></div>
Kings need all the help they can get right now with Bibby being out, Artest suspended and lot of old guys on the team. I still don't understand why they aren't in a rebuilding mode?!</p>
