Kings’ Joerger deemed healthy and will resume coaching duties in the next week

Kings head coach Dave Joerger returned to Sacramento for additional testing after becoming lightheaded briefly during the first quarter of Sunday’s game at San Antonio for further assessment and precautionary testing.

The symptoms subsided quickly, but Joerger did not return to the game.

Comprehensive tests by the Kings’ medical staff showed Joerger is healthy and he is expected to return to the sidelines in the next week, the team announced Tuesday.

Lead assistant Elston Turner will coach the Kings on Tuesday as they conclude their six-game road trip against the New Orleans Pelicans.
