Sacramento Kings coach George Karl concerned about Willie Cauley-Stein's conditioning

Sacramento Kings rookie Willie Cauley-Stein played 15 minutes Monday night as he works his way back from a dislocated finger that cost him 12 games. And he might not get a heck of a lot more time for the near future.

"I've not seen his conditioning, and I have a feeling it's probably behind a little bit to play as fast as we want to play," coach George Karl said, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Stein, the sixth overall pick in last year's draft, has averaged 18 minutes per game this season.
