Kings rookie Harry Giles III has waited a long time to play meaningful minutes in a basketball game, but the wait is almost over.
Giles was considered the nation’s top high school prospect before knee injuries nearly crippled a promising career. He sat out most of the past three seasons while recovering from surgical procedures on both knees, but his highly lauded skills will finally be unleashed against the NBA next month.
“It’s time,” Giles said. “This is my time to play. And it’s for real this time.”
The Kings open their preseason schedule Monday night on the road against the Phoenix Suns.
