Omri Casspi’s calf injury is costing him more time than expected.
The Kings forward was originally forecast to miss one to two weeks because of a strained right plantaris tendon, which he suffered in practice Jan. 16. But coach Dave Joerger said before Saturday’s game against the Warriors that Casspi might not return until the Kings return from the All-Star break, by which time he’d have missed more than a month.
“I don’t think we’re going to see Omri ’til after the All-Star break,” Joerger said. “That could change, but we’d rather be a little conservative with him.
