Though Sacramento head coach Dave Joerger is new to the team, he has brought with him a face that many Kings fans may remember.
Elston Turner will be serving as Coach Joerger’s lead assistant, after having spent the last three seasons alongside him on the bench with the Memphis Grizzlies. He also spent six seasons in Sacramento from 2000 to 2006 as an assistant.
After excelling at Ole Miss as a shooting guard, Turner was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks in 1981 and went on to enjoy a 14-year professional playing career with the Mavs, Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls.
