What a bummer. No Harry Giles until the Las Vegas Summer League. All those spectacular moves he makes in practice – or so says the intel coming out of Golden 1 Center – will remain behind closed doors except for members of the organization who peek and pry, and practically start swooning whenever the rookie steps on the court.
Opinion
But the Kings had to do this to the rest of us?
Yes, they did. The Kings will lose enough games this season. They don’t need to lose Giles for the foreseeable future, too. Even though the 6-foot-10 forward-center recently passed all of his extensive medical tests and was deemed fully recovered from ACL tears in both knees, this was the smart play.
