The Kings will be without Garrett Temple at least until after the All-Star Break after the guard suffered a hamstring injury Tuesday night in Houston.
Temple is expected to miss two to three weeks after an MRI revealed a partial tear of his left biceps femoris muscle, the team announced Wednesday. Temple will be re-evaluated following the All-Star Break, which the Kings return from Feb. 23.
The Kings are already without forward Rudy Gay (Achilles) for the rest of the season and forward Omri Casspi, who last played two weeks ago due to a calf injury.
Temple has been an important and versatile piece in his first season with the Kings, first as a reserve before cracking the starting lineup in January.
