Doing what’s right for the future isn’t easy.

Opinion

Kings coach Dave Joerger had to tell two veterans they’re going to get a night off for rest – when their workloads have been light and neither has played since Thursday – and watch as the youngsters take over. But decisions like this are why Joerger’s fourth-year option was picked up before the season.

Point guard George Hill and power forward Zach Randolph will sit out Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards at Golden 1 Center for “rest.” Look for a lot more De’Aaron Fox and Skal Labissiere, with some Frank Mason III.
